Coincidentally, after so much debate in the Forums, over the availability of good, 1/48th scale figures, here's a Report on a NEW company: Total War Miniatures.
Total War Miniatures have announced their first two figures which are:

TWM 48001 - U.S. Armored Infantry (€15)

This resin figure set is a pair of United States Armored Infantry, typical of the European and Mediterranean Theatres of Operations (Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, D-Day, Normandy Campaign, France 1944), both dressed in Winter Combat Jackets, HBT Trousers and M1938 Leggings. The web equipment is limited to the M1936 pistol belt, the M1911A1 pistol in a M1916 leather holst
er, and a M1 Carabine. Although not designed specifically for winter campaigns, these figures are easily adaptable for use in cold weather scenes thanks to their poses, uniforms, and associated gear.


TWM 48002 - Waffen-SS Ardennes 1944 (€14)

Based upon the well-known artwork of Ron Volstad, this resin figure set depicts two members of the Kampfgruppe Peiper in the Belgian town of Stoumont in December 1944. The panzer crewman wears the standard SS pattern black Panzerjacke, black Einheitsmütze, and Dot pattern camouflaged drill trousers for Armored Personnel. The panzergrenadier wears the M1942, type 2 Smock printed in Oak Leaf "A" summer side, M-44 Dot pattern camouflaged trousers, and M1943 Einheitsfeldmütze field cap; armed with an MP40, a single set of canvas pouches, and a Panzerfaust. It is possible, however, to paint trousers and smock in other camo patterns, or even in single field grey color for the trousers.

I saw where they posted over on MLs 1/48 forum yesterday and immediately ordered a set to see how they are. I'm hopeful! I'll let you guys know as soon as I get them... Maybe its just wishful thinking but it does seem that quarter scale is expanding a lot recently, at the very least there has been a lot of activity with all the new 1/48 products, Taesung's posts, the great builds going on and the 1/48 campaign set to start up here this fall...

These look excellent - and I ordered several sets. Manel has had his sculpts released through Gaso.line and Mig Productions previously and those sets are some of the most widely used figures in 1/48 that I have seen. Great sculpts, right height and good poses. Great news.
