Nice previews of upcoming releases (1 Viewer)

That Elephant is going down it will be the first new Armour model for me in a bit, always hoped they would do it.

That Waffen SS figure throwing the grenade may be my new favorite FL WWII figure.
 
What a beast but pricey nearly $700AUD, but I have always wanted one, be hard not to pre-order it will sell fast I reckon.

This model has many features including a 4 figure upcoming crew set on the model and in the hatches. Though the new crew figures can really work with any tanks for the most part, they were designed with the Elephant/Ferdinand in mind.

The model is made from a mixed media (resin, metal, plastic, brass, photo etch, etc...)
Features:
- Four Opening/Closing Hatches
- Raising/Lowering Gun Barrel
- Incredible Camo Paint Scheme
- Tow Cables

They crew will be sold separate I gather ??

I agree. I wish FL would release additional Minerva or their original Praetorians (not the black ones). Im on the fence with these aux. I like aux being released just wish the color choice was a bit different. Not a fan of the blue since it was highly unlikely.

Auxilla wore blue or green if from Germania per se. They would be attached to legionary cohorts and field armies constantly.

Very unlikely, the dye was harder to come across and more expensive.

Ha ha ha you are kidding

Only purple was expensive given where it was harvested from. I read classic’s they wore Blue or Green if Germanic, but it’s only the Roman sources saying such.

Hahaha, do better research and look at the blues. The blue you are referring to is a white washed blue. The blue on these are not white washed. Get over yourself. Im not saying you are wrong I'm saying it is unlikely and please provide me any proof of color of a Tunic that you have because as far as I know there are none and this is a debate to this day. My logic is based on the shade of blue that is portrayed here and the cost of that dye. So settle down keyboard warrior.

What’s funny?

Prove it with a credible source as opposed to Poncán hubris.

It’s well documented the colours they used. For centuries. One’s opinion / imbecilic logic doesn’t matter. Only the facts.

Some legions even wore blue also. The blue shade as in the first legion colour used is entirely correct. Whining about an excellent release of something both above one’s skillset either to create or have any knowledge of the origin is rather pathetic.

Caligula’s German detachment wore Green, as common with Germanic units.

Legions undyed, Red, or deep blue.

They are wearing Gallic cloaks, Blue tunic is common for Gallic units. A detail of significance as to their origin and service under the Principate. I’m with Suetonius on facts not guess work. Completely went over someone who is historically illiterates head.

Kudos to Matt Pavone on a quite excellent release.

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius opinione publica. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.

You do realise they are releasing the Ferdinand also? So there’ will be two versions. A ‘43 and later ‘44 upgrade. The photos were posted of both on here last year.

lol, what I find funny is how easily you get triggered. I can only imagine you sitting at your computer getting all fired up. Words such as pathetic, illiterate really shows your character. If you read what I had put I said that you may not be wrong
but I guess that isn't good enough for you big head. It took you long enough to respond so I'm sure you ran to your references and looked everything up and came right back here and typed in your response. I like that first line of your response where you asked sarcastically to prove it after I had asked you initially to provide proof. How original for you. Yes, we have tunics from civilians but to the best of my knowledge we don't have any from Roman soldiers tunics that have maintained their color fragments. So I will refer to my references who I will not contend with when I have readings from Tacitus, Quintilanus and Pliny the Elder. who all go in depth on the colors worn. So I commend Matt on a great release but like I said the blue isn't for me. Hopefully, he releases the same figures in a different color variation which he has done with his romans in the past. It is well known there are two camps of thinking on this topic so I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I would have much rather preferred green, brown etc... but Matt chose blue and that his decision to make. By the way your little Latin quotes are fantastic. So with this I end our conversation because I no longer feel the need to go any further with you. Feel free to type what you want from here on out because it will not solicit a response from me. I don't have time for silly games.
