US Soldiers At Rest (35318)

It has been said war was 90% boredom and 10% terror. There is no doubt that in a lot of situations solider find themselves sitting around waiting for things to happen. 

 

 

 

Inside the shrink-wrapped box are eight sprues, two containing the figures, the others containing their equipment (there will be some spares here). Also printed on the instructions are a newspaper, magazines and plying cards to use with the figures as needed. The figures seem to be in quite natural poses for troops at rest, smoking, sleeping, reading and playing cards. 

 

 

 

As usual with MiniArt figures their sculpting is exceptional with crisp detail and sensible parts breakdown plus the there are many extras to add some detail to their vicinity if you’re using them in a diorama; or to put in the spare box.  Its good to see figures being provided like this instead of the more favoured action poses. Highly recommended.

Hope that the sarge will kick the bottom of the figure in the middle ! The Garand should never be laid on the ground on the op-rod side, that's where it's easier to get dirt into the bolt and that side should always be protected 🤣
