Build review: MiniArt's new #35108 "Soviet Infantry" set.
Miniart’s news sets of “Special Edition” figures steadily impress me more and
more as we get a chance to make them – we have reviewed two of these sets
already this month – one set needed work
and the other was really very good – what would this release – very similar in
concept to their last kit of Soviet Naval troops be like? Only one way to see
as we review and build them up to see how they really go together..

MiniArt tries not to go off the rails with their two new kits – It looks like we need an extension..
In a lot of ways MiniArt
are living up to their slogan of “Always Innovate” – with their new 72nd
and 16th scale figures and dioramas, their vac-form based scenery
kits and now new tooled vehicles which no one else wanted to do but changing
the game and doing them very well – they sure are doing what they set out to achieve
– now their second injection moulded tram is on time and on track to arrive
early this year (ohh and those wanting extra track we have something for you..)

Build review - Takom’s new St. Charmond heavy assault tank in 1/35th..
After their earlier releases Takom have gone for a large
scale (1/16th) FT tank, a 1/35th scale Object 279
experimental Russian tank and so in keeping with their business plan they have
stuck to what they know – a random kitting of the first world war 1/35th
St Charmond tank…
….So in keeping with our own traditions we thought we would
build it up to show you what this otherwise unknown kit is like in our review
