Pat, That is a great idea. They sure do some great figures. Hope to pick a couple at the Azax model show that is coming up soon. Darryl

I also like the hands-in-pockets guy - but the other figure looks a bit "precious". - Steve

I nice set of figures

Nice set! NA is one of my favourite WW2 theatres, so it's nice to see Alpine release more figures for it. Definitely a set for me to pick up! Interesting to see Taesung hand over more sculpting to other sculptors now that Alpine is a household name in modelling terms. Yukio Honma? I'm not familiar with the name though. Anyone else recognise it? Who's he done work for? Rudi

Hello Gents Thank you all for the kind words. As always, I really appreciate your support and encouragement. Rudi Yes, I start to ask other artists to sculpt figures for Alpine for a few reasons. One is to enrich the Alpine line with famous artists such as Hirano and Mike Good. (Yukio Honma makes figures for Pegaso, Tamiya, ect) The other reason is that I just can not keep up with Alpine's release schedule with my own figures. By the way, I'm in Korea for a small figure show with Calvin Tan at the moment. Cheers TS

Thanks Taesung. I'll have a look through the catalogues you mentioned for Yukio Honma's works. It'll be great to see some Mike Good figures in your stable. I saw on Calvin's website that he had popped over to the Korean show - I was actually wondering if you'd make the trip as well. If you happen to make a detour via Melbourne on the way home... let me know... we'll grab some beers, golf clubs and shoot the breeze Rudi EDIT: Taesung, thanks for the direction to Yukio Honma's work for Pegaso/Platoon. As chance would have it I've actually got this figure in my stash - got it some time back but never got around to painting it... what's new. I reckon you've got a decent sculptor there, together with Alpine's famous casting quality, you should have another winner

thats really a new great set of figure ! one question and a wish to taesung : can you make us a duo of US Airborn1944 in 1/35 for Christmass ? that will be fantastic ! Dom

Undless possibilities with the guy with is hands in his pockets, a real winner. Nice to see Alpine moving away from they're winter Germans

Gents, Thanks for the comments!!!
