The shipping ban to various countries incl. USA, Australia and New Zealand has now lifted. This still means that in some cases orders to these countries are taking longer than before the corona virus pandemic (only in some cases due to the combination of ship and air transport).

There are at present no, or few restrictions regarding the delivery within Germany and the EU.

Enquires per email direct to Jon Smith are welcome before ordering for shipping confirmation, stating the delivery address.

These photos speak for themselves. David Lane’s painted version of the new JSM bust – Prussian Motor Transport Corps Driver, 1915. David has painted both the original and alternative heads. The Shoulder Rat, which just sits there, his rear feet tucked under the jacket strap, does not require any fixing and can be removed if wished.

Now being released is the new JSM 1/10 Bust – Prussian Motor Transport Corps Driver, 1915. Below are a selection of 3D design pictures showing the bust with alternative heads / headdress and an optional Shoulder Rat. An odd but interesting subject of one of the lesser well-known German units – Kraftfahrer-Kompanie. A painted version will be uploaded soon and work is already in progress on the full-figure versions in the usual 1/16^th, 1/32^nd and 1/35^th scales. Of cause many comments already coming in are suggesting it is a Steampunk character!

Another 4 new heads have now been added to the 1/35th & 1/32nd JSM range. The German head with M16 Helmet back-to-front I have actually seen on a WW1 photo.

Quite an eye-catching diorama from German modeller Mirko Brechmann. The Stalker figure is from the Italian firm Alternity Miniatures and depicts an operating theatre in an abandoned hospital. The decaying, neglected scene with rusting equipment and graffiti is very real to life – here and there the odd JSM Trench Rat.

Josua Lai from Switzerland has created yet another wonderful scene with the Scary Encounter Bust from FeR Miniatures and utilizing the JSM Trench Rat No. 4. Again the pictures speak for themselves.

The new JSM French Chauchat Mle. 1915 MG Weapons Set has now been released. This includes the well-known Musette magazine bags and other equipment items associated with this MG. Many of these articles are also available as individual spares in 1:16^th, 1:32^nd and 1:35^th scales.

Some other additions to the 1:16^th Spare Parts are the German Field Cap M1910, German Gas Mask Tin M16 (early version) and French Adrian Helmet M 1915 (Infantry) Damaged.

A series of 22 new JSM WW1 heads in scale 1:35^th have now been released. There has been in the past months much response to the new 1:32^nd versions, but also queries as to if and when JSM will start in the 1:35^th scale. With the first 1:35^th French Chauchat Gunner figure released in December 2018 and now the first batch of heads, it is a small but important beginning. More to come…..

As with the 1:32^nd heads, they have been split into French, German and Bare Heads.

Josua Lai from Switzerland has yet again produce another wonderful mini-diorama with one of the JSM 1:16^th scale resin frogs. The water effect speaks for itself.
