A lot of the CTS WW2 stuff that I have bought in the last few years was closer to the Conte/TSSD sized figures. Maybe a tad smaller, but still "beefier" than a Marx figure.

That's an interesting set! The ChiComs are in cool weather uniforms. Could this mean that a Korean Conflict set of GIs might be coming? Most GIs from many sources are in the M1941 uniforms or HBT fatigues. Some of the CTS GIs are in M1943 jackets, which are appropriate uniforms for Korea...

First, nice video! Very well done. Second, kudos on the new Sherman. You did a good job on that M4A3E4 (loaned to the film by the Yugoslavian Army). All the right features are there for Oddball's tank. The finish and stowage look good also. Lastly, cool figure of Karl Otto Alberty. That...

Yes, I have done a few conversions using TSSD and Conte parts with the Austin Marines and they look fine together. Gary B.

Nice animated poses! If these are even close to the "right" size they will be a lot of fun to convert and have fun with. I kind of like the idea of the Free French troops, one of the unsung armies in the ETO. Generally, they wore US uniforms and usually carried US weapons, so it wouldn't be...

I have a hankering to do a few conversions in the near future. Who does the best re-cast Marx Marines and GI's? I'm thinking of the 54mm versions from "Battleground Playset" etc. I had bought some years ago from Glencoe and they were poorly molded - full of sink holes and flash. I know that...

I hope that Glencoe puts more effort into quality control! Years ago I bought a Glencoe recast set of Marx Marines and they were full of casting errors/flaws. Gary B.

I remember seeing some preview shots of a couple GIs also. The initial report (don't know about how accurate) was that they would be sized to Conte/TSSD. I'm rather hopeful, not only more figures but more new parts into the conversion gristmill. I'm hopeful! The initial report mentions...

Thanks guys!

X-Force showed that they were working on some US and German WW2 items "for late 2014". Has anyone heard/read any more about this project? Any news at all? Gary B.

Went to my local Sam's Club and grabbed my Blu-Ray of FURY last evening. Had a great evening watching the deleted/extended scenes. Some of them provide a lot more depth on the characters. Neat little featuretttes too. Apparently Michael Pena became quite proficient in driving the Sherman...

Darned nice paint jobs! Gary B.

Very nice work. The Taifun looks suitably dangerous when painted like a fighter :-)

Nice paint jobs! You did a good job on the USMC "duck hunter" camo pattern. Gary B/

Many times I wish that Marx or "someone" would pantograph down the 6-inch US soldiers/Marines to the 54-60mm size.. There were several nice poses that would have complemented the original 1/32nd GIs/Marines. Gary B

Fritz, Thanks for the information. You have done your homework. I will be quite interested to see you tank and future vehicles. Gary Binder Waverly, Nebraska
