If the forum activity or lack thereof was just down to supply issues I would suspect that new releases and previews wouldn’t be getting plugged on Farcebook. Not a member but the glimpses I get of the front page show that they are very active promoting their wares there.

The forum was most active discussing upcoming or future projects and supply issues isn’t really an issue there. I suspect it’s more a time/cost equation. Pity because from what little I see detailed feedback isn’t as forthcoming on FB as on a forum. Who knows, perhaps they prefer it that way?

Well, it's a shame, whatever the reason. Just not enough reach I guess...  ::)

Anyway, here's the first paintjob off the production line - the Rubicon Schwimmwagen. It really is a superb little model.

I've modelled it tail down - even though I can't imagine it ever went paddling in the desert. But it just looks better than with the prop stuck up in the air :)

The standing figure is a metal miniature from the Rubicon 88mm DAK gun crew. They really are incredibly good figures. (When / if they finally get their plastic figures as crisp as this, they will sweep all before them).

The driver is kitbashed from Perry plastic parts.

Wow!  That came out really nice along with the figures.  Since I'm stuck in the 1:48 scale world...finding some older Tamiya models has been a lil rough.  As far as 3 printing...same thing, tough to find. The color tone looks really good too along with the figures as they look the part.

That Schwimmwagen is nice.  I really like the standing fig, too.  May have to get some of Rubicon's metal figures......

Nice! Probably my favourite land vehicle of the war. The original dune buggy!  :)
