These are really great news from Masterbox. Their range of figures is one of the most original Iīve ever seen. I hope they transfer that originality, into this new Naval series, too. The first projects in 1/35 and 1/700, look very promising.

WOW!!

This IS big news, mates!!!
Masterbox, IMHO, have always been THE innovator on the injection mold side since their beginning, and continue to be, so I'm very excited to hear this...(great job Alex! )

Awesome news! To have WW1 subjects in injection molding will be fantastic! Especially if they go through with the plan to cover the whole crowd...
