British-Paras

Why does Half-Tracks figures seem to get 5 stars on my review system? A good attention to detail mixed with a dedication towards a, 'complete' set. This is no exception.

1)Accuracy : 5 - Variance on a basic uniform with attention to the various backpacks and equipment that they would of used. Also understanding that the individuals did not all have the same thing or carry the same equipment.

2)Design : 5 - Overall the set is nicely designed. There is enough detail to keep your eyes going back and forth, and the camo does its job (breaking the pattern up!) Which gives the set an amazing quality towards it.

3)Standard : 5 - Given that most WW2 items are not in the new pose style these figures stay in the style which has been set forth before. The set uses some nice laying down poses, and officer poses.

4)Uniqueness : 5 - Soldiers have differnt ranks, hair styles, hats, guns, backpacks... its all very, 'unique!' In the end the attention to detail goes above and beyond and with a little modifying you could have a huge amount of variation.

5)Usability : 4 - Given the variation you could have a good sized unit without having to look at the same thing twice. With the officers you already have enough for most wargames also! The only addition I would recommed for this set is a bren gun unit standing up in order to have the option.

Overall : 4.8 out of 5 Stars! - A great set which simply needs one more figure to be perfect!
