Insane number of new modern Releases...Company B

[CompanyB]

The snail's pace of our production partners has picked up...and as a result, we're being hit with a uncontrollable number of new releases this month.  Just a sample.
New moderns:6
New WW2: 7

I'm barely able to keep pace.  For moderns, we have available at Historicon:
Mercedes G Wagon - This is the civilian version.  Comes with interior seats, separate doors, etc.  Perfect for making anything from an SUV to a technical.  And just to make my life more crazy, each kit also has two hand made clear place lights.  Now you can all call in the police to get eaten by zombies.



The HMG turret is available.  Fit's all the larger Hummer models that everyone does


And this beast will be available next week (designing the decals)  The Australian Bushmaster.  The Mercedes Wolf will follow it later this month so you can tag team!


Now back to my cave making police lights....

The Bushmaster is beautiful.  How much will it cost?

[CompanyB]

Ah, the lovely new Zombie Smasher...  The Bushmaster will retail for about $26.

If you noticed, all of our new release moderns are under $30.

Hey Brent, any chance in making a PT 76 using the BTR 50 as the basis for the afv? I'm looking at Vietnam, but there are loads of options that the afv can be used for.

Thanks for your time.

Yes, no more of this 'Ultramodern' tomfoolery... let's see some old school hardware.

Sorry, my father drives a G-Class in his Company. Your Model is not really good. I think you have to work on the wheels. It is is only ok. I expected really more...

Update: I try with several pictures to find my problem, I think it is the back wheel. It is not on the right position. Maybe a problem of the picture here. Wait for some picture in an other position/angle

[DoctorPete]

    Want.  WANT!

You know, I was just thinking what would be really cool for Company B to make....

Israeli M50 and M51 Super Shermans!  Seriously, I'd buy a couple.  And you Co B lads gotta have something like a Sherman hull floating around someplace.

Can it be done?

[tomek917]

I'd definitely be interested in a few Super Sherman too!

[CompanyB]

It's a thought...as we do have some models that the Egyptian and Syrian forces would have used with the BTR's.

I'm considering a kickstarter style project format for any future modern releases, as well as the current BTR models.  Our biggest issue is initial sales.  It doesn't help to come out with a model and only sell 2 or 3 kits, and then have resources tied in carrying a inventory of 40 or 50 kits for several years.

We can pretty much do any model you can think of at any scale if we can get initial sales to be 25 to 30 kits upon release . If we can get that many folks interested in the M51, we can have prototypes ready in about 30 days. 

[Arlequín]

I think that's a fair offer and essentially requires people suggesting stuff to put their money where their mouth is. A few manufacturers have 'clubs' that require a commitment before figures etc. are produced and a kickstarter isn't much different.

Which of course loosely connects to the major problem for the Arab-Israeli Wars... there aren't any figures in 28mm, excepting Mongrel's '82 range afaik. I would be somewhat over-excited by a '67 or '73 range of Israelis and Arabs.

Ok well I'm prepared to pre-order and pay for the BTR's I want, if you can give me an expected release date and price.

[CompanyB]

The other solution is for me to just buy a 3D printer.  I'm thinking about that very seriously...

The BTR-152 is next on the casting list.  Though if folks were interested, I can look into offering all the new moderns up on shapeways as well.  That would also help as all funds go into future casting anyway.
