    Condor Legion Panzer 1 Photos

    Hi Brad Thanks for the pics. As I have said before JJ Design had done a great job on this release. The WWI fighter planes also look very promising. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how it rates against Figarti who also do some finely detailed models. regards stephen

    SS Peiper Battlegroup

    Yes I think Wayne is trying to single handedly stimulate the Australian economy out of recession with all his purchases. Us poor Kiwis can only look with envy across the ditch. Well done. stephen

    Bailing Out

    Hi Joe Many thanks for the upclose pics. I am a big fan of HB. I have a few of their desert sets and I really like the look and colouring of them. If the bent pistol is of concern to you send Ana @ HB an email. She stands behind her product 110% and will make sure you are happy with your...

    Hi Mitch Yes i would agree about prices getting up there and you do have to draw the line somewhere. I would say wait till you see what Tom at TG Miniatures can come up with for AFV's. I expect we will be impressed very soon. stephen

    Tank tracks.

    Hi Simmo No problem about showing the link. I should of probably posted a link to Treefrog's shop as i forgot all about them stocking JJ as well. Treefrog by the way are the nicest people to deal with when it comes to actually buying toy soldiers, them and George that is (aka Warrior). stephen

    Tank tracks.

    The question is a good one. I personally think market forces, by us the consumer, will force the manufacturers to provide more better detail in this area. I do speak from experience in this area as i own an engineering company and we specialise in making high precision components. In my...

    Why I'm not buying anymore 1/30 armour

    Hi Uksubs Yes a fair point. I have not seen a Figarti tank up close but judging from your photos it looks a well modelled tank. When it comes to price i still think they are reasonably close to each other. Take for example the Figarti version of the Russian JSU which retails for $219. I would...

    Why I'm not buying anymore 1/30 armour

    Hi Andy Many thanks for the reply. Yes it certainly is a finely balanced tradeoff between detail and price and i think K&C have worked out that balance well. Visual appeal also plays a bit part in collectors decisions (it certainly does in mine anyway). I think the TS market is so competitive...

    Why I'm not buying anymore 1/30 armour

    Hi Andy I am a great admirer of K&C's work and try to get as many pieces is a can. I would be interested in your thoughts on where you seeing technology pushing the boundary of future innovations in your range. Will we see detailed trackwork on tank treads? Will we see photo-etched parts? I...

    I finally got a Figarti Panzer IV

    Hi Joe Thanks for the extra photo. Here in New Zealand we do not have any toy soldier shops like TF. All my purchases come from overseas so I can only make my choices based on pictures people have taken or comments on forums such as TF. cheers stephen

    New releases for September 2010

    Really impressed with the PzKpfw 1A from the Condor Legion. The hull surface detailing and the track detailing is superb. I look forward to seeing further JJ Desgns armour and softskins trucks. I would love a DAK version if JJ would consider doing something slightly more modern. stephen
