Black Tree Design ZIS-2
« on: February 27, 2016, 05:33:52 PM »
I painted a ZIS-2 from Black Tree Design. This is me trying to satisfy my WWII lust and not giving into the Perrys' lure.





I quite like their figures. This model isn't their best... I think the crew is a 'one size fits all' and included with all artillery pieces. That's the only way to explain that massive shell he's trying to shove in the gun.

Or maybe he's just out of regular ammo and improvising...  lol

Ditto. Their figures are a lot nicer than the website shows. i picked up a few of the Ruskies on a whim a few years back and went straight back for more.

Same story here. I failed to resist their recent 50% discount over Christmas... however - even though they claim to have sent the package many weeks ago nothing has arrived here.

I hope it's not because they're back to their old shenanigans.  ::)

Please don't say that, I've just ordered 100 quid of undeads from them.

Have to say, of the last three shipments two arrived within a couple of days of ordering and one was within the 28d.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. ... They're not responding on Facebook or email though. But I can excuse them for being terribly busy with all these fire sales. Lol

My package arrived ten minutes after they replied they would resend it. Haha. So in the end it was the months under way.
