    Ok now I have been announcing Jeff's figures for awhile. He is very tight lipped when it comes to his work. I get hints but that's about it. He reads the post and he keeps your ideas suggestions and wish list in mind. He let me know he has a new figure ready and it's something completely different for him. I'm thinking Uh-Oh zombie but nope he floored me with this one and he hopes as I do you guys wanting a US figure will be a little happier. It's JS120046 WWII U.S. Army Caliber .30 Machine Gun Team (part 1). And in an action pose too!! Cheers, Brock

    You had me at Jeff!


    Very nice.........................Jeff has a thing about big noses but a smaller nose once and awhile would help break up his German Ardennes figures.
    Could you ask Jeff if the next Ardennes figure for KT could have a Hetzer barrel type nose and not another king Tiger barrel type nose.

    Other than that I love his figure and have most of them.

    Actually one small note I am not a real fan of most of the breaks/casts where the arm is cut in half with funny joins. I know its a casting thing but is it possible just to have the whole arm as one piece and join at shoulder or have a cleaner cut with peg and hole type join. Its only a small matter but I think would improve the build process. Would be interested to here other peoples thoughts on this or am I the only one.

    A very welcome change in subject matter--but really admire the composition, particularly the facial expression.

    Can you assume that there will be a Part 2 figure released soon? Perhaps carrying the tripod for the .30 cal and weighed down with ammo??

    Nice to see Jeff branching out from Germans (as nice as his Germans are). I have no issues with the way in which the arms are cast, in fact I think it works quite well. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste - it works for some folks but not for others.

    Great figure, keep them coming...

    "Fractured" joints make for stronger ones as theres a greater surface area to mate.

    Jeff has developed his distinct style sculpting- and castingwise. I like his releases very much and prefer the action poses that show what soldering is about (beside the cigarette breaks). Keep them coming, Jeff!!!

    Hello all,
    Jeff asked me to let you all know he is very happy you like his new figure. I do a lot of Germans , but this figure is pretty darn cool. Another to give the wife to put on the old Christmas list. Cheers, Brock
