Whats the catch?
If we choose to use your idea.Then all information must be provided in hard copy only.not by email.if your idea is used then your name will be posted on the web site.

Hello,

Is this in 28mm or 15mm scale?

Cheers,
Thomas

[von Lucky]

I am interested, and PM sent.

[tin shed gamer]

Hi.the current range is 28mm

[former user]

You could elaborate here for all what exact information You expect from research, unless You prefer to PM it to each one interested.

But I would guess it is basically the measurements You are interested in and good pictures, and possilbly also a bit background info about the availabilty and thus the possible demand estimate....

[tin shed gamer]

Your guess isn't that far off.It really depends on each project.Rule of thumb the more information I have the quicker and easier it is to produce a master

Thanks to everyone for their ideas so far.Feel free to PM me.
I would like to add I've had a lot of requests to make models that are already in the range.so please have a look at the range before you email me .thanks
I've also been asked what ideas and releases Im planning for 2014.to answer this would only aid other companies.if asked for I'll post a list of models in the range and the vehicles that are mastered and are ready Now!

The one thing I wanted was the Early crew for the Belgium armoured car ? Hint next year is 2014.
plus I would like the 1st Corps Web site to work correctly, which I think the cookie system is balls it up and stop me look at any items on the store.
GW easy, just click to accept the cookie at start.
I have tried all types of ways but none work. It must be stopping orders.

Send me details of correct uniform and will give you an honest reply as to when and if I'll will make it.that said its not an unreasonable request.
Just for the record I do not work for 1st.  Corps I am a freelance designer.this range is a joint project.I have found Simon and Mick to be some of the most approachable people in the trade. That's why I take on their projects.So if you have a problem with their site contact them I sure they will talk you through it.
As for Gw 's website it just not relevant to this offer.
The reason for this (put your money where your mouth is) offer. Is because the range is doing that well.
This offer is simple and open to all. Come up with a well researched project I can sculpt into a usable model and 1st corps think is viable .then there is every chance of having real models on your table you didn't have to buy.

[tin shed gamer]

A big thanks to everyone who has responded so far.first offers have been taken up by gamers as far a field as Canada and Australia !
If I haven't emailed you back yet .I will contact everyone who has PM'd by todays date by Monday. 1st Corps and myself are at different events this weekend.

The ideas people have had and are willing to back up with research have been great and more diverse than expected.
With this in mind I might as well open the offer up to all historical periods !

Except the following as they are already mastered and awaiting release dates.
28mm WW1 late war fighter planes.
28mm WW2 British Airborne jeeps.

Looking forward to hearing more of your ideas. If you don't have research material but a good idea then post it here .If its good I'll send you a private message to tell you how to get it made into a model.

Quick update
Please no more requests for Armoured Trains.these are just not a practical range I've found 17 different flat beds ,let alone engines.These models would make trains way to long for most tables let alone the cost for a 28mm model.

[von Lucky]

tin shed gamer, I've taken up your offer and look forward to the Erhhart E-V/4 (along with the two pre-release castings) coming my way. Thanks again.

[tin shed gamer]

The first requested model will be on display at York on the 1st Corps Miniatures trade stand.

[tin shed gamer]

As the first model goes on display tomorrow,at York.I can let you know its an Austin series 3.there is a varriant for the Russian front, which can be used as a captured series 3 in German/Austrian service.and of course a British series 3.
The model has open turret hatches,and drivers hatch,as well as universal figures,one standing with arm raised against the side of the car,one sat on the open turret hatch with field glasses,and a head and shoulders for the driver.
I'd like to add ,a thanks to everyone who asked for the ft17 to be put back into production.I've taken the hint and updated the original tank and lightend up the whole figure by reducing the heavy modeling as 1st. Corps ,now mould and cast in house I'm no longer restricted by the chunky style prefered by the original mould maker.
This offer is still open so feel free to contact me.
