Honour Bound announcement (2 Viewers)

Ana,

Thanks. I thought that would be the case. Financially, it makes more sense. I hope that at some point you'll give some consideration to British armor.
 
Will HB help with the research. For example the SA armoured brigade liberating Florence or Springbok armour at Sidi Regaz.
That would be very nice.
Regards
Damian
 
At first I was disappointed about the change, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's a great idea. Each collector gets an item that is UNIQUE to his/her collection and tastes.

For instance - if HB decides to make a Sherman V (M4A4) then the tank could be provided as the "Firelfy" (17-pounder gun version) or the regular 75mm gun tank. They could even cast some 60-pounder RAF rockets and make the "Tulip" version used by the Guards Armored Div. Each collector could decide which campaign or unit they want (i.e. the "Firefly" that killed Wittman to go with a Wittmann Tiger). If some person wanted a troop (US equivalent = platoon) of tanks then each would have differences in numbers, stowage, etc. HB could also be free to mark an M4A4 as a Free French tank, or from a US training unit, or even the Chinese Army, and not have to worry about selling hundreds of each.

Research - I provided HB with a disk with some US Sherman photos. I, and others, could offer some research to help get the model close to correct as possible. The research could be provided for a fee or for HB products or whatever (sorry to be capitalistic but the piles of books weren't free).

A novel approach to collectoable vehicles!

Rob,

"Tulip" was the reported nickname of the M4A4s (Sherman V) that had launch rails added on either side of the turret for RAF 60-pound rockets. There were only two shots on a Tulip vs 60 on the US 4.5" Rocket Launcher T34 ("Calliope"). Both were "area" wepons - not precise, but useful in persuading reluctant Germans to give up.

Gary,Thanks for your reply,i appreciate it.

Anyone plan on requesting a Tunisian Tiger? My second choice would probably be Carius on the Eastern Front.
 
I hope the Tunisian Tiger is one of the ready made options so that we don't need any special requests.
 
Brad - The Tunisian Tiger is on the list. I believe we will be releasing it just after the Tiger late version. But you know how things are, the boyz are the ones that decide. So I don't know exactly when :)

Richard - it's not in our plans to customize the figures already. The figure sets will continue as they have been coming till now.

The more i think about this and the more it sinks in the more i think what a great idea it is.Its going to be so good to commision your own Tank and have it built by the highly skilled people at HB.I'm already imagining Fireflies in Normandy,M4's in the Desert,maybe even an M7 Priest at some point.I think its an inspired idea Ana and i hope to support it whenever i can.Can you tell me if the details of this will be on your website next month?

Cheers

Rob
 
Thank you, Rob. The details will be on our website soon. We need to re-design it completely to support the new customization feature. I don't have an exact date, but it will surely be during november.

Thanks,

Ana
