Whilst there any many more learned persons than myself at the Brisbane dinner and I did not take notes; I can recall the following in no particular order;

1. Will there be any Pirates? - No, not planned.
2. Will there be any Vikings? - No, not planned.
3. Will there be more American Civil War? - Could be, but releases slowing down as a number of other manufacturers compete in this era.
4. Will there be Zulu? - No there will not.
5. Will there be more Crimea? - Whilst this was a good seller, no more releases are imminent.
6. Will there be D Day Rangers? Probably not, none planned at this stage.
7. Yes there will be Napoleonic Artillery, both French and English soon.
8. Yes there will be French Napoleonic Infantry, but not actually fighting, more 'camp' and 'off duty' like poses
9. Fury Tank, hopefully just before XMAS.
10 Gallipoli Motor Boat, hopefully just before XMAS.
11. More Gallipoli early 2017.
12. Will there be more Kriegsmarine? - No not planned although still an interesting subject so you never know.
13. Will there be a submarine either whole or parts of? - No, not planned, 'made a small mistake with my recent posting and did not mean to suggest a release was eminent'
14. Will there be Russians in winter uniform? - No, not planned BUT soon to be released Italians in winter uniform on the Russian Front.
15. WW2 Desert jeep soon for release.
16. WWI Desert Morris with machine gun soon for release.
17. Yes, there will always be RAF releases.
19. Phoney War / Battle of France still a favourite subject.
20. English Civil War Calvary soon to be released.


I also got the feeling WW2 Malay Peninsula may be on the cards (only a guess).

Finally Andy repeated if some one has a good idea send him the details and it may happen; a number of produced items come from collectors ideas.

Hope this is of some assistance.

Cheers

Scott

Just returned home after a pleasant day and evening with Andy and Gordon as well the local lads, Toddy and Tom.
Just a couple of things, first more Gallipoli will be 1916 not 1917 , I'm sure Mr Scott meant that....... eg: Steamer and oarsmen. May be some NZ mounted rifles to.
Some more MG is on the way shortly. As to the rest just wait and see.........:wink2: Some will very happy, some will be not. ^&grin
Wayne.
 
I have two questions. The first one is for DD , it's been almost 10 years since four sets of fighting Rangers are Releas . Returns Andy Back to Omaha,Utah Beach no June the 6 Normandy?
and if so, what.

my second question: The new WWI Germans are repaint. are there also New figures Germans, WWI 1916/1918 in the pipeline for 2015?

OK boys have a very nice time there with Andy and I hope to see the photos here on the forum!

i would really really really like some fallschirmjager for normandy, anybody else in favor of these?
 
Gents, many things were talked about, many things asked and many things we were let in on at the dinner and with Andy and Gordon in less formal settings over the last couple of days including this morning before they departed for the rest of their 'Tour de Oz'. I am sure you will understand that in all fairness to our fellow collectors in Oz who are yet to spend time with Andy and Gordon that I do not let some cats out of the bag just yet and spoil the fun for those who are still to meet up with them, so bear with us. I'm sure that after they wing their back to HK that Howard, Robin and co will impart what has been discussed. I will say this, many great TS are on the way and some great ideas will find their way on to Andy's very long must do list. My thanks to Andy and Gordon for their great company, long and interesting talks about not just our hobby but all sorts of things, a pair of nicer blokes would be hard to find......:salute:: A very good dinner and long weekend, very fine company, and much net working. All of which would not have been possible with out the hard work of Martin, Brett, Andy and Gordon and a cast of many fine collectors.....:salute::

You have my email mate :wink2:
 
The Ashes start tonight with the first test at Cardiff so I suppose that I can let just one future (possible) 'cat out of the bag'.................:wink2:



This wasn't in the bag, but I'd like to see it.........:tongue:



I wonder if Godfrey would of liked cricket...............:wink2:



Wayne.
 
As Wayne said, lots of good stuff on the way, with plenty of surprises to boot, but no spoilers cause Andy & Gordon have a ton of ground to cover as they drift across the wonderful land of Oz.^&grin

Just landed back here in NZ, after a magic time with me cousins across the ditch and what a brilliant bunch they are!:salute:: Top blokes everyone!

Was a true pleasure spending some quality time with both Andy & Gordon, especially on the Monday trip down the coast. You couldn't ask to meet two better Scots if you tried. Can't thank them enough for giving up their time so freely and making themselves so available to sooo many of us.

Also want to thank the Brissy Boy's for having me over, especially Waynepoo for putting me up and driving us all over the show. A big thanks also to Marty & Brett for organising such a big event, amazing stuff fella's!!

The time and effort that has gone into those diorama's is exceptional to say the least and all those involved in building them are all craftsman in their own right. Thanks to you all for sharing your talents and giving up so much of your time.

Cheers from ya dodgy Kiwi cousin and mate....Toddy{sm4}

Spoilers? Really?

Days spent with Andy + two dinners + road trip X alcohol factor = spoilers.

And you claim to remember all that conversation and can tell what models are in the pipeline from dreams of fancy. :rolleyes2:

I think not :wink2:^&grin^&grin

Glad you had a good visit.

Well we had fun, talked a lot, had a beer or two, a dinner or two but no dreams of fancy mate and can recall most of what was said. No spoilers for our fellow collectors south of the border that's all, after all you lot overseas have a few shows to go to we have only a annual visit by one producer.
