Anyone have any experience with Point of Contact miniatures? I'm looking at picking up some up and they look good from the pictures. I was hoping someone may own some and could give a review.

I got a few sets,, i could do some piks of them here later.I have the shermans and 1/2 tracks,
The allied 1/2 tracks are alot bigger than the other ones out their,BF,PSC,to me more 20mmish.I woud save my cash and buy PSc any day over them.If looking for good cheap models that are not that bad try this site out. http://www.gamodls.com/
The shermans are ok but the have a front flat lip plate that i had cover,i used stowage.
As for the Tigers i have heard good things,awhile back a box of them was a go to for a quick cheap german force.
But as for now with PSc having a few years under their belt i would buy them over Point,even if it cost a couple extra bucks.

I do have review of the Shermans on my blog.link in sig.

I ordered a box of the Tigers and was hoping I hadn't wasted my money on them. I guess I will find out next week.

Check my pictures below from post titled "Gen Con 2014 Germans - Kampfgruppe Knaust - Bridge by Bridge" - from 8/9/14. I have some pictures of my POC Tigers in there. I think they look the best of the POC options.

I have some Shermans too, but they do have an awkward lip that needs to be addressed, as col. krazy kenny said....

Were the Tigers touched up/repainted or is that how they look out of the box?

Out of the box. Not one modification.

Not bad for a factory paint job. When I saw the box art I assumed they had been retouched or the pictures were photoshopped. I should have them here Monday or Tuesday. I'll try to get some unboxing photos to post here.

They arrived in the mail today and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Quality seems really good. Some weathering to the tracks, paint a couple of pieces of equipment and slap some decals on and they are ready to hit the table.
