Post Late War Panther tank crews
From a company new to me - some fabulous looking late war Panther tank crews in irregular garments. Sold as sets and not exactly cheap but I am sorely tempted

Welcome to Miniatures PMC

Yeah they look great Rob but it's prices like that, that made me start cutting, changing and resculpting plastic figures, that and it's good fun!

Actuallly, I don't think the price is that bad. The quality of the scuplting is another thing.... :(

There's just something about them....

The guy up top on the right has his right hand on his knee, and it just doesn't sit 'right'. The medal ribbon is huge and way too long, and the lapel too short. The guy in the hatch in front of him has an oddly posed left hand, and his balaclava looks odd too.

I'd never want to disourage a new start-up, but the first few figures in a line-up really have to be spot on. Perfect. There was another resin start up a couple of years ago that had it's second or third figure released with huge hands and one arm slightly longer than the other. I had to review it. They're not around anymore.

Whoever did these can sculpt...just seems to have missed a couple of things.
