Seems to me having opening hatches would be a handy thing. Especially with dio building.

Ditching beam, got it ! Thanks Frank.

Beautiful tigers. But expensive. I like the Wittman tank a lot. I haven't been really into Honour Bound yet because some of it looks kind of plastic. Best extremely detailed.

As you guys know I already have one HB Gold Tiger No, 312 3./s.H.Pz.Abt.505 from the eastern front. I had been considering a Tiger from the western front for some time but it took the recent Sherman release to inspire me.

Tiger 211 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.102 of panzer ace Walter Schroif http://www.alanhamby.com/aces.shtml .

What better defines the Normandy campaign than Germans hiding from allied fighter bombers?

Very nice model!

I received Tiger 211 last week and I finally got a chance to play with it.

Frank, it is beyond beautiful. I sent Ana an e-mail saying I wanted this exact Tiger, but alas, too late. I hadn't realized how unbelievable the Gold Edition vehicles were until I ordered the Wading Sherman with the Snorkel. Now I am on a quest to either find someone who wants to sell a Gold Edition vehicle or get enough collectors together to make it worth the Donzino's while to bring back Gold Edition production.

i think your preorder suggestion might work Louis.

Well, I would pre-order a Tiger just like Franks, a Sherman with the Foliage camouflage, and one of each additional Sherman variant that had been discussed as they come out. If it would get production going, I would spring for a Sturmtiger as well. That's 3 more vehicles guaranteed, plus any of the other Sherman variants from me alone, if we can get it going again . . . who else is in?

I would go for a Sherman and a Strumtiger. But I gota order them through someone other than Treefrog. Keep in mind I like and admire Shannon very much, but if I order throught Treefrog I have to pay MN sales tax.

I already have one gold edition tiger, four shermans, six panthers (five regular and one damaged), two horse drawn kitchens, one kitchen without horses, a bergepanther and four jagdpanthers. I value them very much and I am greatly disappointed that my cash flow did not match the production shutdow.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Wow Michael! That is some collection! Is there any way I could talk you into trading or selling me one of the 4 Jagdpanthers?

 

[fmethorst]

I would be interested in any idea that would keep these fantastic vehicles coming.

A lot of the enjoyment value of the Gold series for me has been the research. It has forced me to learn more which is never a bad thing.

My HB vehicle collection includes:

• Winter Panther
• Summer Sherman M4A1 76mm
• Summer Jagdpanther
• Summer Field Kitchen (grey) with Horses
• Winter Field Kitchen with food line
• Summer Bergepanther
• Summer Damaged Panther
• Gold Tiger 312 3./s.H.Pz.Abt.505
• Gold Tiger 211 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.102
• Gold Sturmtiger Sturm-Morser-Kp.1000

On order I have:

• Gold M4A1 Sherman (with all the accessories)
• "Gold" Panther R02 1.SS.Pz.Div "LSSAH"

They did a Gold Edition Panther!!! Something else I would immediately pre-order if we could get Gold Edition Production to come back.

Ha, Ha,

No, they never did a real Gold Panther. Since I wasn't going to be able to do a late war Ausf. G with a factory paint scheme for the Bulge and a white washed variant for the east I thought I sure would like an Ausf. A with custom paint for Normandy so I asked Ana if she could do this for me using the original molds and she graciously said yes.

 

[nasirkasmani]

Louis, i think its best you don't communicate with Frank for a while.
Frank is a genius and his customized figures/armors can be quite overwhelming.
(i'm talking from experience )
I'm afraid you'll go nuts.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Well, thanks to a tip from Nasir, I just agreed to buy the HB Jagdpanther, and earlier today, I nabbed two more of the diorama backdrops (I now have two small and one large backdrops).

 

[nasirkasmani]

what have i done!
Louis is on a crusade here!

 

[nasirkasmani]

Get out of the way!!
It's Louis on the way to Ana's Chicago show booth!

 

[jazzeum]

I thought Louis was a righty, maybe he's ambidextrous

Well lately I have been grabbing up Honour Bound vehicles with both hands (and I've always been a two fisted Scotch drinker), so maybe I am ambidextrous.
