Has anyone seen images of the Brigade Games Early WWII Soviets, Manchukoans and Mongols?

It should be a normal Soviet WWII uniform without shoulder straps. Differences are minimal.

Surely Manchukoans would have had japanese uniforms? Anyway, I am more curious about who has sculpted them and the quality of the sculpting.

Havent seen the Manchuko troops but there was a thread here earlier that shows the Soviets. Two words: fucking awful.

I thought they were done by Paul Hicks?

I'm certain that the sculptor for the KS was Mike Broadbent.

...which is why I choose to believe that carlos passed that comment along with the most sensitive, caring and nurturing intent.

Sorry, I hadn't realised that you wanted a genteel rather than an honest opinion. 

 I quite like Mike and Brigade Games produce some lovely stuff but this is hardly an example of that. I can't be quite alone  in my opinions as the KS failed by a significant margin.

There is a book on the subject of Japanese allies in the Second World War.

You know the real me, carlos, I am the true caliban of LAF. I was being facetious.
I also hold Brigade in high regard but, but this endeavor seems to have been a dud both from a artistic and historical perspective. A shame, since I've been on a lookout for early japanese and associated troops to use for my BoB world. Manchukoans would have been awesome!

Thanks cuprum, you are a cornucopia of BoB wisdom.
