Dear Steven,
We'll combine polystone, metal and resin depending on which material will work better for the different parts. The clutches will be metal, as you can see in the original model, and the tracks and wheels will be casted in one piece separated from the body of the tank and again, firmly attached afterwards. The tracks and inner wheels will be all one polystone piece, and the external wheels will be metal. There's no such thing as production secrets,so you can ask whatever you want about the process and I won't have any problem to answer your questions.
And for the others, our line is 60mm up to the eyes, and rather thin and elegant because that's the style and the look that we want in our miniatures. We've worked in our 65 mm metal model figures' line 'Donzino & Donzino' since 1982 until 1999, when we decided to switch to the toy soldier market.
Beau Geste has set its own style since we began, and so will Honour Bound do. Figures will be tall, thin and elegant, and matt finished (the glossy look is because my photograph lights are too bright). You might like them or not, but it's our style. Just take it or leave it.
We knew that there would be people loving them from the beginning, and that there would be some others that would't like them at all. There's nothing new about that. You can't please everybody. So I invite you to buy them if you like them, or leave them on the shelves if you don't.
Your choice
Ana
