First look, 1/56 M41 Walker Bulldog
« on: December 16, 2013, 12:07:31 AM »
One of the models from the list above!  Almost ready to go to print.



Now... who wants one?  Assuming it would be available maybe by Feb/March 2014 for $35 to $40?  I'd like to get at least 20 orders to make it viable to do this.  And I'll be getting the BTR-40 and BTR-152 cast at the same time.

M51 Sherman is next!

I do. Of course now I have a Japanese tinplate toy version I now need  to offload. Best you start on some Brazilian armour decals.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Buy 20 Carlos and I'll include free Brazilian Decals  :D

Decals of course will be created.  Since Carlos chimed in first, I'll do Brazil and of course the US and West German sets to go with this. Maybe they will be included.

I'll probably also do Japanese so these can go hunt down Godzilla.

I would imagine South Vietnamese decals would be a must. I'm going to need 'some', apologies for being vague, ask me again in March.  ::)

I would love one for my 1950's 'B' movie games.You know the kind of thing, the National Guard take on:-Giant ants; Aliens or a big blob. The deal breaker would probably be the postage to this side of the pond (& Her Magesty's revenue men).

This one may initially be a solo op for the first few casts... But, we do have a new partner in the UK who will receive a master of this as well as all our new moderns ( and eventually past ones)

More on that as he sets up.  Hint, he posts on these forums and already does resin models.

2014 should be a good year for modern Cold War gamers who need armor and softskins!

Please add to the wish list above!  I'm thinking of doing the Mercedes trucks next. Although I really like those Brazilian Armored Cars too...

Well if there is a particular armoured car you are interested in and want/ need photo references of, then let me know. Conde de Linhares military museum is about a thirty minute metro trip from me at present and they have examples of most if not all Brazilian armour. I don't need much of an excuse to return.

Arlequin, many thanks mate. I have had a quick look on The Wargames Command Post and seen many shiney (can resin be called shiney?) things I now want, even before the Walker Bulldog comes along. The site is now listed among my 'favorites'.

Arlequin, many thanks mate.

You're welcome... somebody else would have chipped in though if I hadn't, we're over-blessed with helpful people here.  :)

2014 should be a good year for modern Cold War gamers who need armor and softskins!

Indeed, but I wish I had known that as early as 2008 so I could have begun saving for it.  lol

M41, BTRs and now Unimogs... all together?! That's just harsh Sir!  ;)
