Mini art are not thinking outside the box, they are ripiing the box to shreads, another brilliant bit of news! I was just thinking of the wooden ones they released, it really reminds me of the Episode in Band of brothers where they get ambushed by the Tiger(55) and Jagdpather!

Great news Pat! Any news on when the civillian set is on sale?

looks useful. You could probably copy this with styrene sheet but this would save a lot of time

Excuse my ignorance guys , can't say I have noticed this type of telegraph pole before, looks like something you would find in an industrial setting. Where in Europe would theses have been used?
Another excellent idea by MiniArt

Hell this would be great for pure scratch material. You've got two metal support structures that can be used for darn near anything, without the hassle of scratching them from dozens of pieces of styrene.
