    Two new rereleases from Stu at Stormtroopers Miniatures. We will take a look inside the box of each one of these bust pieces.

    1st bust is a 12th SS Officer, Normandy 1944, Sculpted by Laurent Borget and box art by Mark Bennett (Gothikgeek)



    Second bust piece is SS Unterscharfuhrer Paul Klose, Kharkov 1943, Sculpted by Laurent Borget, boxart unknown at this time.

    As we can see all parts are cast in light grey resin. The scale of both pieces is 1/10th. A close inspection of the parts show an exception high standard in levels of detail and quality of casting. All pieces of the kit have small casting blocks to remove and not many if any mould lines to remove. Clean-up and assembly time of all parts is very minimal.

    The second piece, SS Unterscharfuhrer Paul Klose, Kharkov 1943, I can only echo on all points what I have written above. Be careful not to forget or loose the small piece of resin that is the cigarette.

    Conclusion:

    Two more very nice pieces that are very easy to clean and assemble. Quality of casting is outstand which is the same as any other figure or bust from Stormtroopers. These pieces will prove popular to all WWII enthusiasts. Well done to Stu for producing these to such a high standard and also to Laurent Borget for his creations. Highly recommended.

    Now those look like characters you would not want to meet in a dark alley :blackeye:
    Great charism in those faces with plenty of scope for some good paint jobs.
    Mark Bennett has done a great job on both these excellent sculpts....
    Look forward to seeing them at a show..
