Dear all,

I would like to share this news with you: May '40 Miniatures, a new company (headed by my brother) has begun producing 28mm Dutch WW2 figures (pewter). This is going to be a full range: infantry, heavy weapons, vehicles. Everything you need to defend The Netherlands against the German invader in May of 1940.

"At long last, after several years of planning and a lot of thinking on how to proceed a dream is starting to become reality. There is still a long road ahead so please bear with us."

There is no website at present but you are all welcome to like the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/May-40-miniatures-970522413022592/?fref=ts

and last but not least, here are some early images:

Looks like you are off to a good start.
I am just started ordering some figures for this period.
Warlords, French and BEF.
I will look forward to following what you do.
Please post updates.

Hi all, thank you for all the positive responses. It might be weird that Jager1815 responds for May '40 Miniatures, but it's my original account. So it'l have to do for now.

Updates will follow. And yes, I have a paint list which will do quite nicely for the Dutch in WW2, I will post it on the Facebook page.

Come over and see more pictures. Join us for the ride! Great times are ahead.

Cheers!!

Sander

I have been following this news with interest since I first spotted the FaceBook page last weekend.

Despite the fact I was born and live about as far away from the Netherlands as one can get, my heritage is Dutch. So my Dad served in 1940. Therefore, this new line of miniatures is of particular interest to me.

A wonderful initiative! I can already see the Chain of Command game....

I will follow it closely.

Not my particular period/army of interest but I must say those figures look superb. Nicely detailed and clean sculpts. Good luck with the project.
