02Hundred Hours, Escape From Stalag Luft III, Escapees in Civvies

        A further expansion of the 02Hundred Hours Escape From Stalag Luft III game is this set of Escapees in Civvies. It contains four crisply detailed and well cast figures of escaped airmen trying to blend in with the local civilian population (you really can't go parading about in Nazi Germany in your Air Force uniform). The figures are well sculpted and dressed to blend in with the average civilian; three are walking calmly and carrying bundles while one poor fellow has his hat in his hand and is sprinting with a look of consternation on his tiny face (his papers failed inspection!).  The minis are cast with small "puddle" bases but are provided with larger MDF bases that will ensure that they figure isn't tipping over constantly during a game.

the models are all well-proportioned and nicely detailed

the three fellows on the left look like they are moving cautiously ...

       These minis add a sense of atmosphere to the game. They are superbly sculpted and detailed with an excellent attention to proportion and the way the clothing drapes over the body. These will be an excellent addition to the Escape From Stalag Luft II set or just as civilian minis (gangsters in the Roaring 20's perhaps). 
 
       Very highly recommended!
