Just wondering what folks would like to see more of

You can vote in more than one catergory.

 

[Col. Hesler]

WWII all the way. I have heard that britains is coming out with more WWII in July.

 

[VIRIATO]

FIW in gloss, with action poses to make some scenes to complement the standing ones.

 

[Dickbuttons]

Definitely, mounted and marching bands as well as more crimean pieces. And, what about the 25th Limited Edition -- any word yet?

Nothing has been said. When is the 25th Anniversary?

Ken, Richard ??? Have you decided on anything yet ?

 

[jrsteel]

Definitely more of the Archive Collection. I saw the sets that were done for the Collectors Club and they're really nice looking.

 

[Spitfrnd]

I love the new matte Zulu sets.

 

[VIRIATO]

I love the new matte Zulu sets.

If you love these ones, then just check out Conte's upcoming Zulu Series...

 

[Louis A. Cortez]

I have always loved the old west so anything of the old west scene, especially sceanic stufff would be great. (i.e. Poker Table, Bar, whiskey bottles, spitoon, etc....Thanks for allowing us to express our interests.

It is interesting to see that the four getting the highest votes so far are works in progress. The additional questions would be Gloss or Matt?

I voted Egyptians, though I don't see it ever happening.

Haven't cast my vote yet Ken and I'm sure the answer will be both. By the way any comments on the Gettysburg Show? Got a hunch you had a great time....The Lt.

I chose American Revolution, but I would like to see more, in the gloss style, from the Seven Years War. The first figures in the Redcoats series fall into that timeframe. I would like to see mounted figures from that time as well, the King's Dragoons, for example, the 15th Light Dragoons (Emden, Minden) or the Royal North British (the eventual Scots Greys). Right now, the only way I know to get those figures is either from John Edend Studios (finished or in kit form), which are Russell Gammage's Rose figures, or Imrie-Risley (the 17th Light Dragoons can be backdated to 1757 with judicious use of paint).

Prost, beianand!

And I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really care to buy reissues of pre-1966 sets. I can buy castings-from authorized dealers, of course; mine is London Bridge--and paint them myself. I realize that not everyone does that, but after all, it's an opinion poll.

Prosit!

That's fine as long as you are a good painter with lots oif patience.

 

[thebritfarmer]

Matte ??? what's that ?

Ken, they should be gloss, gloss, gloss all the way !!!!

You should be happy with the mid-summer catalog then...and some of your other suggestions are already on our list too!

Right, understood that not everyone is a painter. I got here from scale modeling as a kid, then trying mold making and casting when I was in high school (plaster mold, and tire weights melted over a Bunsen burner from an old chemistry set. My crucible was the upturned bottom of a Coke can). Then I found the old Schneider molds, and Prins August, and I've come full circle.

Now, I need a digital camera, so I can post pictures and share with all of you guys.

Prosit!

Since Ken is working for Britains now Wm Britains is my main route to more GIs that are compatible with the Conte GIs I enjoy so much. I wish that one could buy unpainted WW2 figures (of course at a cost savings) and paint them to match my others, especially since I am a conversion addict.

Finish? WW2 was fought only in MATTE! You shine, you die!

Gary, have you looked at the ONTC WWII castings? Ken may have even done some of those, though I am not sure about that. They have a dozen or so GI's and about the same number of Germans in a pretty good variety of action poses, that would probably be almost identical in scale to the current Britains matte figures.
