Hi guys

First test print of the Mercedes Benz L 4500 truck, I plan on doing a maultier, armoured cab, 37mm and 20mm AA versions, there’s a few little faults I’ll need to fix before it’s ready.

 Hi guys

Only a small updated today, calling the Sdkfz 8 DB9 88 done, it is a diecast model from PMA, bought for me as a birthday present, it has the original paint job, just re painted the tracks and some details, weathered and added crew and base, the If.5 MG cart is basically done, haven’t decided on a driver, thinking of using this Simons soldier figure.

Those look amazing!

I do feel a bit sorry for the chap in the cart, he must be feeling decidedly inadequate with that monster in front of him. Japanese field cars aside, there are few military machines one can describe as 'cute' but I reckon that AAMG set up is a candidate.

Thanks mate, yes, he must feel inadequate

Hi guys

Next up on the work bench, 3 Krupps for the Hungarians, a couple of 251s and a radio truck for the Germans and some French vehicles/guns, some of these French vehicles have been on the shelf for a long time, so will be good to get them finished.

 Hi guys

Some slow progress on this batch, I’ve been spending a lot of time on a new business idea, so haven’t had a lot of hobby time lately, but got the base coats down and a pin wash.

Cool, you even have the Hungarian-made command version of the Krupp Protze!

Yes, my Hungarians will be the best equipped Hungarians around, riding in style.

 Hi guys

Received these 2 books from Huns on Wheels Facebook page, sent from Hungary, packed full of pictures and info, lots of OOB diagrams, going to come in handy building my Hungarian forces, highly recommend these books for anyone interested in WWII Hungarians.

Great looking books, and rest of the thread, will have to look out for them when my attention wanders back to WWII.

 Hi guys

I have been busy designing and printing a batch of early war tanks, they are “upgrades” of the Bergmann and Windham Graves sculpts, which among others I either have obtained or in the process of obtaining production rights, I love these designers, they did a great job, however their sculpts are designed for 1/100 printing, and are sometimes missing detail, or have detail designed to be easily seen at 1/100 which is too chunky at larger scales. My plan will be to eventually offer all of their WWII designs, plus my own, as pre painted models in 1/100 (15mm) 1/72 and 28mm, in 2 qualities, table top and museum, (I was going to also do unpainted, but I’m concerned that I’ll need to stock even more inventory) the picture of painted tanks will be the table top standard, basic spray job, tracks/wheels/tools painted, the premium will have decals, crews, stowage and weathering and maybe an option base, there is a fair bit of work in each vehicle, so I’m thinking of releasing them 5-6 vehicles at a time, by period, nation and vehicle type starting with the Polish and French campaigns, tanks, then Armoured cars, soft skins, AT guns and artillery. Sourcing packaging and a website as well, this will still be a long way off, I’m averaging 1 vehicle type per week to redesign and do a test print in each scale.

Regarding scale, I’m not keen on stocking 1/100, 1/76, 1/72, 1/56 and 1/48, what do people prefer? 1/76 or 1/72 (my preference) and 1/56 (my preference) or 1/48? Vehicles shown are 1/100, 1/72, and 1/56.

Your work is fantastic and I wish you the very best of luck! For my part, my WWII collection is 28mm/1/56 but I do have some 1/48 vehicles because the 1/56 producers really gouge the US gamers and a 1/48 Tamiya is way less expensive and I can get two for the price of one.
I have no idea what a good price per piece would be. Too low and you'll burn yourself out. Too high and people can't afford your models.
My preference is lower price, unpainted, but I'm sure there are gamers who can afford to have their collection painted for them.
My gaming preference is early war so Dutch, Polish, French, BEF, German etc. are my choice.
I especially love the less "popular" pieces. Ambulances, tow vehicles, limbers, field kitchens, tents all the vital equipment that isn't sexy like Jagdpanthers or ubiquitous like sdkfz 251s.
BTW, I really LOVE your STLs and would LOVE to see more of them on https://www.wargaming3d.com/

Whatever you choose, I'll be happy to continue to support you.

My plan is to add all those less sexy things to the list, but the wargaming 3D ship isn’t a success, I sell very few STL when I’m pushing it down everyone’s throats, but have only sold one since I stopped posting about it a couple weeks ago, I’m not really keen on keeping something up that people have no interest in, not just financially, it just feels like a waste of time and effort, I’ve got an STL I’ve recently finished and I’m not sure I can muster up the care factor to upload it to the shop, may just add it to the new business when I get to soft skins. I have a few vocal 1/48 fans, but not many supporting 1/56, I wonder if becuase they are already catered for they don’t need to speak up? Do you prefer 1/56 or 1/48, if you could click you fingers and all your models were the same scale what would it be?
