What do you want to see produced in 2014? (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

Rob, I'll be glad to pay the shipping. Just wrap it well, please, as I wouldn't want customs to damage it with their gorilla handling techniques. Also, if you could include some ammo (glad to pay extra for it), as I have some buildings I'd like to remove from my sightlines. All in all, a capital idea. I await arrival.:salute:: Oh, and if you could find me a Vickers MG, I would greatly appreciate it. :wink2: -- Al

^&grin^&grin

Yeah, I'm going to have to source a lot of those foam chipping things Al! Now should I mark box 'Leave with Neighbour if out' ?^&grin We also have a Mark V at the museum, but I'm going to have to ask you to come over and distract the gallery assistant whilst I start it up and drive it out the museum glass doors Al !^&grin

Talking of MG's, one occasion on the Somme (near high wood) someone was telling us how that very morning someone had unearthed a complete Lewis gun and ammo right near where we had been. My wife looked at me and said ' This must be killing you ' ^&grin

Rob, it never ceases to awe me at how the battlefields of France continue to reveal the detritus of war and claim further victims 100 years after the events. One wonders if the fields will ever truly be safe. I find myself wondering whether the local farmers live in a state of constant nervousness about what their plows may strike at any given moment. It has to be in their heads, a constant worry. Still a lot of metal to harvest from those fields. -- Al

Absolutely Al. There was a survey carried out of the Western front some five years or more ago and the conclusion was it would be another 100 years before the battlefields were very safe with only rare findings. As for the farmers they are brave people indeed. I know that on the Somme and around Ypre some have tractors with reinforced armour underneath, but these guys still have to pick up shells they see unearthed and move them to the edge of their fields for collection.The trouble is, as a docu on tv stated just a few months back, even an expert cannot tell just by looking which is a dud and which is live and ready to explode. Every time they pick one up they are taking a massive gamble.

My wish is for Conte to become more prolific. But my main wish is an extension of the Imperial Roman line from FL for those of us that failed to see the light soon enough to snap up all of the original figures and are now having to spend oodles and boodles for the hard to find pieces. Nothing comes near them and they have completely altered my collecting habits.

TCS Sturmtiger looks great...Mitch !
The 38(t) was my great want for twenty years...But if i had to say now , what would get me to jump as a new release...Actually two AFV's could do that...#1 being a 35(t) & #2 being an Sdkfz 263 for the DAK !!

Pirates, mexican revolution( Pancho Villa, Zapata), boxers revolution( China), conquistadores.....

I would be tempted by a new civilian line. I think K&C did the London of Dickens so I would like a Paris (1900) or a London (1913). I have no idea whether it would sell well but it would be great to look at!

A friend mentioned the Ball before Waterloo as an option. I would tend to agree that it would be a visually stunning range.

, conquistadores.....

Here's a nice vignette coming out but it's 75mm.

I could use a dozen or so 1914 era French civilians, men, women, children, with accessories. Paris in 1914, that's the ticket. -- Al

All,

Im telling ya..."The Streets of Old Mexico"...pistoleros, senoritas, burros, caballeros, rancheros, vaqueros, bandidos, more senoritas...think Spaghetti Westerns!!!

Yes, on the civilian side I think an Oregon Trail trail would be interesting. I don't know whether it's been done but you'd think it would do well in America.

 

[kogu]

Bravo!!!
Great suggestions.
An "Oregon Trail" or a "Spaghetti Western" theme would be most tempting :wink2:

Black Hawk has made : "O.K. corral", " the cow boys",and " overland stagecoach" , check their site {sm3}

German Freikorps Troops with their counterparts - Baltic Reds or German Communists or Polish Insurgents... the time beetween the two "Greatt Wars" is verry interesting and coulourful (Russian Civil War, Polish-Russian War, the different other revolutions in Germany and the new european states.

Like the idea of the ball before Waterloo....someone has had the same idea.

The Duchess of Richmond's Ball has been produced by ATS and has been available for some years. Waynepoo's picture depicts the range. ATS also produce an extensive range of civilian figures of the late Victorian/Edwardian period. Another unusual range depicts Native American village life. Would suggest you access his website. And just in case you hold the view they only paint in gloss, they will paint in gloss, matt or provide unpainted castings. Nik Biberovic, the owner, will also undertake scenic work, including complete dioramas, and special one off conversions. Seek and ye shall find. Trooper

Thank you very much for the directions. I will wander along and have a look. I have no problem with gloss, however, so it would not be a deal breaker if they were not available in matte. The biggest limitation for me is that I like the shop experience and any online purchasing would always remain a distant second to the bricks and mortar experience. I will head off for a look and report back!

I regret looking now. The Ball figures are great as are the ones from the Congress of Vienna. I take it that it is the traditional glossy deal that you can buy a few at a time and you can slowly build up the scene?

Thanks ... I think!

You can buy them one at a time if you wish, each one is treated as an individual. Glad you like them and hope you have fun. Trooper
