Got My Panthers Today Wow!!!! (1 Viewer)

[shark0636]

I received my set of 3 panthers today. These are now my favorite tanks, the detail is amazing, the figures are even better in person, the packaging was nice and sufficient to keep the items from breaking while in transit. thumbs up to honour bound for a superb job, I am anxiously awaiting your new releases, and I cannot wait to see any u.s. tanks that you produce as well.

Cool, can you post some close up pics?

Our little play opens with our hero (Michael, a 54 soon to be 55 year old child) having what any parent would call a temper tantrum (his arms flapping madly in a frustration that can not be denied while froth comes from the corners of his crazed mouth on his red almost ready to turn blue face as he stamps his feet to the tune of “I wants what I wants and I wants it now – an ever popular tune amongst the younger crowd).

Michael: “Shannon, are you listening.” (For those who don’t know Treefrog is the US distributor for Honour Bound products to the US market)

Michael: “Shannon, ship the Minute Man Honour Bound panther order, NOW!!!”

Our hero suddenly regains some semblance of self-control and realizes what he must look like and how he must sound to the supplier of his “drug of choice.” And so, he suddenly looks like a little cherub on some Flemish painters canvas.

Michael: “Please.”

Michael,
Never fear, production at Honour Bound has begun in earnest and the tanks are rolling off the production line in greater numbers every day. We expect to finish filling all US dealers initial orders over the next 3 weeks. Meanwhile, you can't have too much of a tantrum because your beloved WS57 is shipping out to you today.

Cheers,

Hi Shannon,

I take advantage of your post to thank you for the HK076, HK98 and HK99 sets. I received them yesterday and they're great. Thanks again.

Pierre.

(I know that the thread is about HB but as I said: "I take advantage" .

Pierre, Glad to know they arrived safe and sound!

That's what I'm talking about

 

[jazzeum]

Guess we'll need to wait for a week or so for that.

Oz, been on vacation?

 

[shark0636]

I wouldn't mind taking some photos, if someone could tell me how to post them on here. Mark

 

[jazzeum]

Whe you reply, go to manage attachments below and just upload your photos. You have to make sure that it doesn't go above the site's restrictions on size.

Here are some pics, I took some also using the Honour Bound panther with K&C's tank riders and crew from the jagdpanther, also with some K&C regular german troops

I got my Panthers yesterday (only ordered two of them) and competition is wonderful to the consumer. I’ll be ordering Andy’s new Panther as well and that will make three Panther set complete. Oops, so much for authenticity. LOL

I like HB’s Panthers and they compliment my KC WWII collection quite well. The detailing on the tanks are exquisite reminding me of some 1/35 models but larger of course; especially the exhaust pipes. The painting is first rate and makes the fine sculpting come alive. Yes, yes, yes the tracks are great and probably the best you can get in any polystone model.

The tanks are heavy as expected and the hatches are static but I have to say I like them.

The figures are totally different than KC or NMA obviously, but the difference is kind a nice. Believe it or not, I like the HB tank loader and detail is very nice done.

Not better or worse than KC...different and thinner. I look forward to collecting future releases from all three companies and will mix them all in my dioramas like usual.

Happy collecting and keep having fun,

Carlos

Come on, Carlos, if you got those panthers yesterday, you must have them in one of your dioramas by now. Let see the pictures. Hey, George, where's my panthers?.... oh yeah, he's at Valley Forge. Probably sold them to Combat. Combat, if bought a P1 and a P3, those are mine, hope you appreciate my gesture of goodwill.

Hey Fred,

I saw George today at VF and he did sell 'em to Combat. Sorry dude, there was only enough to go around. Guess you're going to have to wait

That's what I get for being such a good guy and letting George take my panthers to VF. Oh well, Combat you owe me a "solid".
