Chris, when you say Modern wants, I take it you mean wants that are very recent, so from Normandy I'd like......KIDDING!

Simon will be all over this thread like a Pigeon on a bag of chips!

Yes- I am completely ok with reimagined Normady dioramas- beaches getting straffed by Apache's....Abrams rolling onto the beachhead, or, not as dramatic though crazy effective and devastating- a couple Ohio class nuclear subs sitting off the coast of Ireland launching some nukes onto the German fortified positions..... By this scenario, the Allies would be in Caen by lunch and Berlin by dinner......

Nice!

Even though I don't collect modern armour you gotta love the Abrams, could be tempted by a Chieftan too

Standby.......standby........

Standby.......standby........

bro- this is MODERN action- we do things REAL TIME- we don't do "Standby". If Rick were to ask you in person "Wraith, if you tell me in the next 10 seconds want modern vehicle you want, I will make it." would you standby?? Clearly the discipline is lax!! You should have that want list on the tip of your tongue- reciting it in sleep even!!

Apparently, UPS dropped one of your parcels today. They didn't say which one, but were curious if you'd ordered a baby's rattle, as that's what it sounded like.

The list is there. I can recite it in my sleep. It is on the tip of my tongue.

It is also very looooong. And there's no way I can type it out in 10 seconds.....

Hey Chris

Interesting list to be sure. I would really be glad to get my hands on an M1 or M1 IP with the 105mm in 2AD paint. Of course would also like to see some of the European vehicles as well like a Leo II or Challenger or the Arjun (SP) from India. Of course it would be fun to get a trashed T54/55 or T62 as well. I know the non-battle tested arent as sexy to most folks but there are sure some great Tanks that have yet to be done.

Taliban in ambush poses would make great dioramas in mountainous or village settings.
US, British and various NATO troop from the Afghan theatre.....
A couple of "shock and awe" helicoptors to support the infantry....

1.Afghanistan (Marines,Army,Special Operations,and bad guys!)
2.Always thought it would be cool to see some Rangers and Delta force from 1993 with humvee's and Blackhawks to go along with them.Maybe even a little bird as well!
3.If any of the above were produced,a technical with somali bad guys would finish a diorama well!
4.Honestly at this point anything modern is exciting to me,Because it seems no one other than Figarti wants to touch this subject.
I have purchased about everything that McFarlane's has to offer from the modern age.And honestly those figures are a little large for my liking!
Hopefully Rick will keep producing a modern line!

Those all work for me.

Anything from the Arab-Isreali wars!

11) Hercules 130 (C and AC variants)

Good Lord mate!! Talk about shock and AWESOME!!

Lots of fantastic ideas out there- stuff I hadn't thought of. Love the idea of branching into Afghanistan and taliban figures. Dave- that knocked out T-62 would be priceless. I am actually considering tearing up a FOV one for just that purpose.

Ontos- why am I thinking they might have done one before??? Certainly a peculiar piece of Marine Equipment.

 

[aujj65]

The Centurion AVRE as used in the First Gulf War would make a very striking model imho.

My suggestions - for Afghanistan:
1.Challenger
2. Jackal
3. Mastiff
4. Ridgeback
5. Leopard II ( for Afghanistasn in either Canadian or Danish markings)
6. Brit Inf in their new uniforms.

I can see I need to bone up on my modern British equipment- I don't even know what those are

 

[Northgate Woods]

Jeff mate,
Love that Centurion. Love that Centurion. Love that Centurion.
Think of that possible variants. British BAOR, Israeli Wars, Aussie Veitnam, etc. Bring on the beautiful and majestic CENTURION.
Cheers Howard

 

[Currahee Chris]

Crazy thing about that Centurion picture- it looks like a big, 1:1 scale Figarti creation- as if Jeff airbrushed a Figarti piece into a museum backdrop. They are tops in the weathering department.
