Britains Westcoaster 2012 (1 Viewer)

[joesgis]

There wasn't quite as much new WB items on display this year, although as always, WB has a huge show presence among the many vendors. The Nile Gun Boat sure seems to be a big hit, and it sure is impressive to say the least! The pics I shot of WB though are of the forthcoming WWI British figures previewed at the show. They look every bit as good if not better in the flesh than they do in their new catalog.

Thanks for taking the time to post the photos, they sure do look good set up on the trench! Was there none of the new glossy figures on display?

Cheers Craig

Great pics of the new WWI releases . . . . much appreciated since I will be adding the WB WWI range to my overall TS collection in 2012. ACW will continue to be my main interest though . . . .

Great figures...almost caved in to the temptation to start a WWI collection...but WWII and and the ACW are all my Credit Card can bear!!!!.
guess i will just have to admire from a distance. Thanks for posting.

Does anybody know the size of the new trenchs? Got somewhere in mind to sneak one into my room but not sure if it will fit!

Joe mate,
Thanks for the great photos. Sorry I missed enjoying a cold beer with you this year. Great reporting on all manufacturers. These World War I "Too and Froms" will convert nicely with a boot paint job to Aussies.^&grin Many thanks Richard.

I think I know where my next pay check is going!^&grin I noticed one of the guys is a little cross eyed, suppose its the shell shock!

These pics show the detail of the trench groundwork better than the web page and catalogue. The bottles and cans etc add realism.

I'm glad somebody else mentioned the faces as I didn't want to be the first to dampen the party. One guy looks horribly bug-eyed and in general I am not happy with the faces. Did a different sculptor do these?

Remember these are pre production and as each one is hand painted they will all appear a little different.

Hi Howard, You are very welcome!! I missed your wild energy at the show....where does all the energy come from?!?! I simply cannot keep up with you! It would be great if you could come to the 2013 Westcoaster so we can enjoy a soothing beverage as we bounce around the halls. Aren't the new WW1 Brits (easily convertible to Aussies w/ a little Vallejo cavalry brown paint :tongue incredible? Just brilliant figures. I've already pre-ordered most of the limited sets, including the very limited set that is available only from across the pond. Thanks again for the kind words and have fun when Andy comes to town!!

The gun emplacement was the same in studio version.

The production version was therefore a disappointment. As the detail wasn't painted in. Totally lost.

I assume to save money.

Is the broken green bottle and the brown bottle not painted on yours, it is on the one I have. The tin cans for the most part look like tin cans in the mud.
