It arrives at our warehouse next week along with the Prussians, Colbert, and the two new british guards.

how do you intend to display them?
Nasir, For me anyway I feel that FL Stalingrad is going to be best displayed on a diorama base about 3'x3' or 4'x4'.....I have already started to set up an area....with some build-a-rama damaged buildings.....the figures also seem to match up well (temporarily) with the Figarti tiger tank which I purchased about 2-3 years ago......I am looking forward to the Stug.....and tank riders.......This is really an excellent series......Best regards Vezzolf

hi Vezzolf
it looks like we had the same idea, panzer based display ja?
though the figarti tropical 88 gun pleasantly surprised me, its the stug(s) and the riders that i had been waiting for. and who's to say FL will not release their own 88 in a year or 2? in the mean time, the figarti 88 will do for me.
one thing i realized, based on frank's pictures, now even the build-a-rama pieces looks better alongside FL pieces.
i like the 3 running jerries, but wants more ideas how to display them. maybe it will suit me when FL releases a t34.

I have received Colbert and GERSTAL10 today.
Very easy to summarise: O U T S T A N D I N G
And I know I sound boring and repetitive, but these are the finest figures we can get in this market. There is absolutely no doubt about it. And those that moan about prices and scale just use these as argumenst for not having to admit that FL is a couple of steps above the rest.
The painting of Colbert is just oustanding! The sculpting is so pure, so fine,
so realistic that it is breathtaking!
The figure is truly great art and I admire it like I would admire a painting or sculpt of a great painter/sculptor.
No PHOTO does this figure any justice!
The GERSTAL10 are in the same category - even more so when comparing to announcements made by another manufacturer that received - deservedly I assume - a lot of praise for their monthly releases: FL is honestly not in the same league. These figures are pure realism! The poses, the painting, the bases are just ultra realistic.
They have be seen in person and any unbiased person has to say that all of these figures are top of the league.
Matt, you should be proud of what you deliver and I look forward to anything you will bring up and I would even buy Romans or figures from the Battle of Hastings!
Thanks my man for making a 38 year old so happy and excited about "TS"!!!!!!
