1:56 E-50M New Toys

Pulled the trigger on the pre-order

also pre ordered one (E-50M)

Any chance to get both turrets with 1 hull?

[CompanyB]

two turrets:  Yes...

I'll know the exact cost in a few weeks when the kits are cast, but I will get extras of all the parts of rspecial requests as well as any unfortunate shipping accidents.

Also, anyone from outside the US may want to see if there is anything else from the company B lineup they would want, and I can then co-ordinate shipping with those items.  That would save on shipping a bit.

[Wyrmalla]

Nearer the date, and once I've an idea on shipping, etc, aye I'll probably have a swatch at your store. That, or just bung on another E-50 if there's spare if I need to bring up the cost a bit.

Hmn, some extra tracks may be handy as an alternative to the Tiger II tracks I've been using (that and they'd be a good basis for post-1940s Axis vehicles).

I'm literally sculpting a lot of small odds and ends right now in Zbrush.  All types of ammunition specific crates for US, Japanese and German vehicles, Sake Barrels, bedrolls.

Spare tracks links is something I can probably tackle as well.  Individual links and small sections from the E50 to start.  Maybe some Panther links too.

Any update on the state of this at all? 

[Ballardian]

Indeed, a little 'where are we at' would be greatly appreciated, with the level of excitment for this subject I'm projecting... people are beginning to stare.

Funny as I was only thinking  about this in the weekend

Masters are with the caster.  He's breaking down the molds this week for the metal parts and the resins.

I order models from him in batches of 30.  So I am waiting to see if we can include both sets of tracks and turrets in a single kit, or if I'll just get 30 kits of the front drive kit and 30 of the rear drive.

I've allocated the funding to take care of all the molds and kits,  so it's now just a matter of waiting for them to finish.  and buying boxes for 30+ kits...

sweet thanks Brent 

[Ballardian]

Thanks for the update, great stuff.

[CompanyB]

Update:

Hoping to have prices solidified this week on the molds.  Quick poll...would you want options for both turrets and tracks in one kit?  or just two separate kits?

Right now I'm thinking I will stock the full run of 30 each on the variants.

Personally I'm only currently after the Ausf M, so wouldn't need the other turret (I'd say that it would depend how much it added to the price - but for me, each of the different turrets is linked with different drive systems - front for the schmalterm variant & rear for the M).

[Wyrmalla]

I'm primarily wanting the Ausf. M as well, though having spare stuff is always useful. Personally if I'm in for the E-75 I'd also be picking up spare tracks if they're available for some conversions. Is there a ballpark price comparison between two separate kits compared to a single one?

[Slayer]

I'd be keen on  both turrets if a option (not worried about front/rear drive sprockets)
