Ken will the crew be sold seperate ?

Excellent dio setting Ken, love all that timber. I agree, the 88 will be worth the wait. It will be interesting to know what materials it's made of and it's weight.

Have had the 'weight' debate with you before and I ask you this....that gun looks brilliant...so would you not buy it if you felt it had no 'weight' eg: if it had a similar weight to a 1/35 plastic kit?

I have the Winter Figarti 88 and it has bugger all weight but I am happy with it. I would prefer artillery/AT guns with weight but that said, if it does look good then I will buy it. As you know I have lot's of K&C artillery and AT guns. Most are made of weighted materials and they feel solid like a miniaturized version of the real thing. The one's that are made of resin and white metal and are light just don't have the same appeal to me compared to the heavy guns but they still look nice from an eye point of view.

Yes, just if it was 'light' it wouldn't cost as much to bring home from Rio................^&grin

I'll probably be "light" on the wallet if I brought anything home from Rio....{sm2}{sm4}

I want one. Don't have an 88 in my collection and this one looks the bomb, especially with the crew and ammo boxes.{sm4}

That 88 looks really good for the WW2 collectors. If it is anything like the ACW artillery, you will not be disappointed. Chris

Looks good but would have preferred crew in Camo gear rather than boring Grey :wink2:

I met Ken in Toronto and he did mention what material was used. I think he said the gun barrel was turned aluminium and other small parts were metal. The gun comes with 3 figures and additional crew are planned. The price will be US$335 or less. Expected availability Autumn 2016. (Note the grass and trees are showing signs of Autumn as are the heavier jackets)

OUCH, $335US converts to $450nz at today's rate. If that is indeed the price with crew, then sadly it's way beyond my reach.

My first set as a kiddo was W Britains (a set of 6 8th Army troopers). I refound them as an adult and got back into the hobby. Their issues in the mid-2000's led me to other producers.

Been holding on in anticipation of this one for some time. Kicking out again, now to Winter 2017, they lost me... again.

Ken, any update on the 88?
