    Hello All,
    Well we have wondered what our friend Jeff has been up to because he's been so quite. Although I had a little knowledge of what was going on, on the bench. And here it is Jeff's latest release which will be out very soon. And should be very popular with the WW1 crowd. 1/16th scale Imperial German MG08 team, Regiment 23th. A special thanks goes out to David Youngquist for his technical advice. And also a very special thanks to my very good friend and a true artist Jeff Shiu for allowing me to make his announcements for him and his hard work in this figure hobby of ours. Thanks Jeff.

    As always Jeff hopes you'll enjoy his new release. Cheers, Brock

    Wow!! That is pretty spectacular. Besides being a very interesting and I suspect popular subject they actually look as if they are carrying a heavy machine gun.

    Hmm,:cautious: although this is a visually nice set-up! and would make a great scene! I will wait to see the 'Break-Down', of these pieces on his web-site.

    If the, 'Big fat', casting blocks are still located right in the neck line, then for me is a, 'Forget it', moment. As via my past experience! these, 'Blocks are located in the most volatile and stupid of areas on the piece.

    Which, does lead me to ask another question! Why? do we not see a selection of 'Jeff's work', on either WIP, or Completed figures.? I have not seen anything in over two plus years.:( Considering that there is a sizable fan base out their, I would have expected at least something.

    Please correct me if I am wrong;) ... I can bite a bullet or two, three or four!:LOL:

    As WWI fan freat set, but not my scale, why not 75mm or better 54mm.
    And why not also a more warrior version with spiked helmet and especially the transport Load bearing, those who have earned the legend that the German soldiers were bound by their officer to their gun.

    Very nice, and as it should be, in the "one true scale"! :LOL: I would love to see even more WWI from Jeff, and something with that trench mortar as seen in the last pic would be sweet. Well done!
