The models will only be available from the company B website. We're not at the point yet that we're making any money, so I can't really afford to sell these at other distributors yet. They will probably show up with JTFM and WCP eventually once I get a distribution deals made. It's plausible I can do some trade deals with JTFM as a proxy, or have him take orders to Canadian Customers if they pay via the Company B website. That's all farther down the road though.

As for walkers... yes. If these initial models are popular, you can expect the four legged beasts. I'm already talking to JTFM and our 3D artists about it.

Next master models for this year are as follows:
Japanese ShiKi (masters in my hands)
British Cavalier (masters and a few test castings here!)
Italian LC1
Russian G27
German Loki if we can squeeze it in.

The releases for the above will be rolling out through Spring 2012. Depends on how fast JTFM and our other suppliers can cast them!

Brent,

Wanna make a Billion dollars? Make a German Kitten APC! Every WWWII geek will go to you instantly to field those PG units in fully tracked APCs alongside your walkers. Make it 1/48 and you'll get all the modelers as well into the buying pool for the scale. You'll be the only one and will corner the market and rule the world.

Just a suggestion,
Brian

PS
I'll buy a platoon from you so you got at least 7 or 8 sold there

Yes - the "Kätzchen" would be great. Nothing at the market for this scale.

I will by some too.

Ciao

Its an awesome untapped "What If" that is screaming to roam the tabletop battlefields of WWWII.

Let the arms race begin,

I cannot confirm or deny any rumors of future "paper panzer" releases and what we may or may not have already mastered and/or are planning.

All I can say is nothing to see here folks. Please ignore the strange looking APC like models under the tarps.

Also ignore the fact that our 28mm resin models of American T-28 and Russian ISU-152 turtle were released many years ago before we founded CompanyB and a need to rework and re-release them has been growing.

I love the T-28! Very nice model!!!
Please re-release it.

Re:"Kätzchen"

Ok you've twisted my arm. I'll build it !

Now there was 2 different company's bidding for it with 2 different designs so one could do the 38(t) mod and the other could do the other design. Same vehicle in essence but two distinct looks that could split the sales between the two. Also since it is pretty much a fully tracked 251 you could do mods for mortar carriers, funkwagens, combat engineer, IR spotlights, 20mm turrets and just about everything the 251 was fitted with in the same hull as the little Kitty.

More sales for more variety for those PG units,
Brian

PS
Another get rich quick product would be IR kit for German vehicles. An IR set for a cupola mount, one for a driver position and one fitted to a LMG. All us WWWII freaks would love to see all our German armor fitted out with the IR but you could also just fast forward US and Brit IR spotlights from the 60s to be fitted on all the WWII kit. A M60's IR spotlight wouldn't look to much out of place on a Sherman, Churchill or even a T34.

Just trying to make you richer and me poorer but with cooler toys

Ahhh, great minds think alike...

Just last week we had a talk about IR kits!
I even sended Brent some pics from my visit to the Koblenz Museum...

I think WWWII just got kicked into overdrive my friends!

Modhail · « **Reply #58 on:** June 05, 2011, 07:05:05 PM »

Any chance you can give us a more specific releasedate than "summer 2011", or is it still too early to say?
I'd like to have some advance warning of when I'll expect to torpedo my meagre gaming budget...

SBMiniaturesGuy · « **Reply #59 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:45:53 AM »

Company B will announce firm dates. But with all the great ideas flowing here, be sure that Gears & Guts have been working on more than you know...for example, at some point we'll share images of our X-7 ATGM set...all gettin' mastered up and everything! So if you have a weird war idea, toss it out there!!
