1/72 Mantis-Waffen SS Officers (Late War) (IMG&Link Review)

Posted by Panzer_Grenadire on 11 May 2015, 16:02

The 1/72 scale Mantis “Waffen SS Officers (Late War)” impress with perfect accuracy and top-notch fine small details as well as with incredible natural stances. It also should be mentioned Boris Knokhov, the creator of the highly acclaimed Orion line dedicated to Panzer crewmen, also sculptured this remarkable set which is fully reviewed now and accompanied by a huge number of images here:

Some photos are taken with my camera but the more artistic ones with a professional camera by my very good friend Vali Goaga. Likewise, the vehicles appearing in the images are the fine work of my very good friend Arthur King.

I hope you shall enjoy the review and images, few samples being here displayed, too.

Getting better and better Christian! Thanks for the review and excellent painting, as usual. How does one go about buying Mantis figures? Is there any on line retailers? Cheers Francisco

It is a pleasure noticing you have liked so much that camo while it took me a lot of time (4 full days) just for it and I also had some undesired adventures with those figs and an artistic oil thinner.... fortunately, I succeeded to repair the problem with quite satisfactory results...:) ;-)

Kind thanks Francisco and about buying Mantis figs, I purchased this set online from a well-known e-shop, namely Jadar....:)
