No need to, I heard they got cold ones there :)

What, the scaly things you ride???  :o

Thanks for the offer of parts, but I'm still cogitating, and still think whatever I tried to cobble, I'd find uses for the spare parts. However, if you could include one 'exploded' pic per offering, I'd be grateful!

Really appreciate you speaking up; fine, fun work you have there!

I have pics of the unassembled kits for most of the models and will deliver the missing ones asap ;)

What in the name of bloody hell?

I think I need one of those.

MM.
And thanks to Grimm's thread, I now own one of those - just got it, with a Treffas Wagen, from the post office this morning. I only had time to take a rapid peek, but the parts are very nicely done. The Treffas Wagen is surprisingly big in the flesh. http://www.tobsen77.de/products/treffas.php
The packaging: brilliant, with very rigid boxes, parts in small bags, packaging to absorb impacts - best I've seen.
Can't wait to get started on them.  8) 8) 8)

Yes, Tobsen, you have some wonderful things on your website. lovely vehicles. That pilot by Bob Olley is wonderful, too :) All good things.

And nice to see your work on here again, Grimm :)

And to take the review further, I have assembled the Treffas Wagen (which I had mistakenly believed to be a fictional design and was surprised to find out it had actually been built! http://www.landships.freeservers.com/treffaswagen_timrigsby.htm - which makes it cooler - I need to study more). Very little, and easy, cleaning of the resin was required, and the fit of all parts was excellent, right down to the front roller which actually rotates in its yoke. I was also pleased to see that the paint I am using (GW Foundation) adheres to the resin without any preparation. Some very small bubbles, all on the underside, were easy to fill and eliminate.
There is some bad news of course: I might be spending more money on other models....

Another weird vehicle from the wacky Germans. Less strange than the Octotank tho and perhaps more @ pulp than at VSF:

I've heard nothing but 'great service' from folks, but I'm the first who can claim it before I even bought!  :-*

Hope to have an order, soon. There have been so many great, new offerings from so many folk, it's easy to get lost/side-tracked.  ::)

A WWI/WWWI oddity. Not sure if this is based on a real or an imaginary prototype, actually o_o

Hmmm... I'd hate to be the loader in that photo with two gun breeches recoiling into the same space, never mind the noise and fumes  :o.

The model though has machine guns, though they would end up shooting the engine exhausts off :)
