    Hello Gents
    I'm happy to annouce the release of 3 new items.
    I'd like to thank Mr. Jaume Ortiz Forns for his beautiful painting job
    and Mr. Michael Baskette for his technical support on WW2 Russian militaria.

    Taesung - Superb as usual. You really make WW2 figures look attractive and with Jaume's painting what more can we ask for.

    Looks great, sculpting and painting but the set of the last pictures looks like they are twin brothers. The last kid came with the same heads set?? will be nice bigger pictures...

    Hello Gents
    Thanks for the kind words.
    These 2 figures have two different heads of course.
    If you look at the pics that Jaume posted earlier, you
    could tell these are two different heads. Thanks! :)

    Excellent figures. Your sculpting Taesung and Juame's painting are a feast for the eyes.

    Hello Taesung

    While WWII is not my 'thing', I can only admire the authentic feel that you succeed to convey in all your figures: ethnic peculiarities, natural poses, drapery, folds ...

    The Alpine Collection offers maybe the best WWII Figures on the market! The Detail is overwhelming, crisp and sharp! The Anatomy of these figures is excellent!!

    Thanks Gents for the kind words.
    I think Jaume painted the figures tomake them look like Russians.
    As you know, the same faces can look totally different when painted
    by different painters. :)

    As for the details, One of my friend, Michael Baskette helped me
    a lot with the reference materials... especially with the black canvas
    jackets. Those are a copy of pre-war leather ones. I had a difficult
    time finding out details on the back side of the jacket, and Mike had
    the leather version of it and sent me pics.

    These figures would not have been possible withouth Jaume and Mike.
    Thanks guys!
