    All 4 TGM (NMA) Tigers together for the first time !

    TG should redo them today. Tigers are always in demand. TG could do a first rate version at a fraction of the price of some recent offerings IMO. I miss the Figarti quality and price. TG can fill that niche in the 1/30 armor market!

    Repaint of a Figarti Panther

    Your camouflage colors are more accurate than some manufacturers, who persist in using flourescent green!

    New Releases for January 2019 - The Second World War

    !/48 scale may be a better choice than 1/72. The aircraft are just as well detailed and more figures and vehicles are available. Hobby Master has excellent models of the F4u, F4F, F6F and A6M. Armor has very good models of the SBD, F4U, and F6F. Armor models can still be found on Ebay. 1/48 B-25...

    New Releases for January 2019 - The Second World War

    Figarti displayed a model of the island and deck of the Hornet with several B-25 Mitchells in their Dolittle Raid exhibit at the 2013 Chicago show. Photos are posted on the Figarti thread for the Chicago show. A nice example for how a Carrier island can be constructed.

    Thomas Gunn Hetzer

    What would the new scale be; 1/28? The first TG Hetzer is an accurate 1/30 and is a perfect match for Figarti Armor, WB, KP, WP, FL size figures; which are 58 to 62 mm tall typically. My TG, TCS and K&C WWII figures are 65 to 68mm tall typically. ED Panzers are about 1/29 scale which seems to be...

    New Releases for February 2019 - The Second World War

    The camo pattern is historically accurate for the Kursk battle; as are the tracks on the superstructure. The display options with the Schurtzen and MG Shield are exceptional IMO. Very realistic!

    Favorite WWII N. Africa Vehicle

    I have the DAK Panzer II and I consider it one of K&C's best pieces. The DAK 10.5 CM gun and 5 man crew is also excellent. K&C has made the most extensive DAK line over many years IMO.

    Roman Scorpion

    The TG Scorpion is historically accurate and is based upon the example excavated at Ampurias in northern Spain. Ampurias was an important Roman City during the Carthagenian wars and the Celt-iberian conflicts. Scorpions would be mounted on walls and towers; as well as being used as field...

    JJD Roman fort scene

    Great diorama! JJD has done a first rate job of their Roman field fortifications. Mount some Scorpions on the walls.

    Eagle Design tanks

    The ED Tiger I is 1/29; I expect the Kingtiger will be about the same. ED is trying to make their Panzers work with both 60 mm and 65 mm figures IMO.

    Eagle Design tanks

    The ED Kingtiger will be available by the end of January 2019 for $220.00 per Y-weido on Ebay. The photos of the prototype on the ED website show some errors that will hopefully be corrected prior to production.

    The new owner of Figarti has displayed new products at various Toy Soldier shows. Sales seem to be mainly in the Chinese market. Hobby Bunker and Ebay have some new products available; primarily Panther G Panzers.

    Given that all Toy Soldier manufactures who have made Kingtigers with errors; which errors were the worst in your opinion? The error in the Figarti prototype was corrected prior to production; I wish other manufacturers would acknowledge and correct their errors. Showing preproduction...

    I see several errors in the prototype photographs. I presume they will be corrected prior to production. The preproduction Figarti KT also had errors and they were corrected prior to production. Eagle Design has a good track record with Panzer accuracy. I will defer judgement until I see a...

    New Releases for January 2019 - The Second World War

    Really great to see a Toy Soldier manufacturer acknowledge and correct a mistake. Too many choose to make excuses or blame the messenger when problems are identified! JJD sets a high standard for customer service IMO.

    2019

    I look forward to the release of the Eagle Design Kingtiger; which has been on their development list for awhile. I expect it to be more accurate than the previous releases by K&C, TCS and FL; all of which had major errors! A F6F Hellcat from JJD would be a nice complement to their superb F4U...

    First Legion Copies

    Per the FL website they have released plastic 1/32 unpainted figures in the past and their figures are made in China. Figures made in China by any manufacturer tend to turn up on the secondary market.
