Its been a while that anything new has come out in the 1/18th scale market to be excited about but when I recieved a box in the mail this Friday and opened it I was pleasantly suprised to see 2 of the best 1/18th scale resin figures I have seen in a while.
First of the packaging

As you can see the figures were well packaged in individual bags and peanuts.

The Figures
![Image](http://www.oniva.com/upload/204/jeepriders118_5.JPG)
Ive purchased alot of resin 1/35 figures in my life and while most have been good these are a cut above. Generally I run into fitting issues, bubbles, and other issues that need attention but these figures were flawless and the fit was spot on. In fact all that really needs to be done is to paint a coat of primer and then paint them to my needs.
Here they are in a Gate Jeep.

It was my pleasure PB the figures are sweet and I am looking forward to more riders from you. Maybe a real passanger front and back and of course some Germans for a Kubel or 1/2 track.

Sick I have a Harley and it would be great to have a rider for it. I would also suggest passengers for the US drivers front and back. they could also be used in truck and 1/2 tracks

I have the same though for the passengers on the back of the truck, I wish can load the truck with full of the soldiers. Give me more time to create them.

You could use the riders for both the truck and the US halftracks.
Germans would be nice for the hanomag too!
Any thought to making Vietnam era US soldiers to sit on the M48 Patton tank or M113?

The motorcycle riders would be really cool. I've got a few of those 42' Harleys. Can't wait...

Nice work Plasticboy. Sorry if I missed this one, but how much are you selling these sets for?
