Any ideas when we will see what will be released for 2007? 2007 is just around the corner.Wondering what is up next.
 
At OTSN they were showing protos of Battle of the Bulge GI,s, looked really good.
I too wonder what in WW2 is up next, Ken can you help?

As mentioned we showed some of the upcoming WWII GIs in winter clothing 1944-45 at the Chicago show. There are several more sets of US and German figures for both Normandy and the winter of 44-45 coming next year for ONWTC. We will share images when they are close to delivery...Thanks!
I just finished sculpting 15 new figures for the W.Britain WWII Normandy series also.
 
Ken,

Give it up, how about some pictures? Now don't say its a competitive thing now, LOL. C'mon man, your not going to make all of us wait until the Chicago Show next year are you?

Ken,
Any chance the ONWTC Winter figures will be available in time for the 62nd anniversary of The Battle of the Bulge................;).......seriously, great idea to go down that road as between all the K & C winter items and the winter offerings from HB and NMA, that is an extremely popular theater of WWII at the moment..............
 
We have alot planned for 2007. Look for our new WWI series in February. We have made the decision to limit the first two Reault tanks sets to 150 of each.

WW2 will see a French Resistance set, Winter GIs & Germans. Russians and new Germans.
ACW will next have a four figure set of confederates firing and loading on the run with a scenic base. After that 4 union firing from Little Roundtop.

Lot's more planned...stay tuned.

We are open to suggestions.
 
Suggestions. That sounds great.
How about Germans either regular Army of Waffen-SS in the kneeling or prone position waiting for the attack? Also on the move, for example seen
in photos when they first arrived in Stalingrad thru the train yards or thru the fields during the battle of Kursk? Dismounted Panzer Grenadiers on the
advance?
Another idea would be Officers in conference with maps or binoculars.
Directing soldiers into battle or advancing thru city streets or villages.
A prone MG crew or tripod MG crew would be great. Recon soldiers could also be added. I guess the list could be endless. You guys have a fantastic
line up so far and these could only further the great selections you have already placed in the market.Hope these help and may we one day seethem.

Eric,
Thank you for the suggestions. All of these will be considered. The MG crew is definatly planned for 2007.

I would like to see poses that are non combat. Not sure if they sell well but as stated above patroling, recon etc. Also very few poses tend to be prone? I guess these must not sell very well? I can asure you I am no war hero but I have been on a two way range in my life time, I found that every man can get so close to the earth when bullets fly that they could hide behind a sheet of paper!
Also you use FOV armor etc. How about some crews? RP the armor and do some mtd/dsmtg ss from Sdkfz 251's Tank riders ( you have a few great set) keep the pose seated and I can put them in numerous rides, etc?

Lastly you can never have to many paras! Fals especially. How about fals mortor team? pak crew? S wagon crew? Paint em in your Normandy cammo then repaint them for Italy... Keep em low to the ground in combat poses add in some common wealth troops and you get a great cassino mix!:D Just dreaming I guess?
 
Thanks for the input on new sets and poses. I agree with your observations and keeping your head down in combat is a good rule of thumb. These poses are overlooked or under represented as they are slow sellers. With that stated they are also important additions to vignettes, so they will be included here and there.
I just came back from the new home of W. Britain, Peosta Iwoa where we finished up the 2007 first half catalog. There will be 8 Commonwealth infantry good for Normandy or late Italian campaigns. There are also 8 new Germans including a pair of Luftwaffe Feld Division that can be used with ONWTC and W. Britain Fallschirmjagers. You could use these for Italy also as some temperate climate clothing was used here mixed with the tropical items.
After the first of the year ONWTC will post some images of the new figures coming in 2007. There will probably be some surprises to some of you, Ken Osen/Hudson & Allen Studio/ONWTC
 
As for a Suggestion on your civil war.. Zouaves,Zouaves,Zouaves. There are so many possiblities with these over looked units. Both union and confederate.

Awesome,

I can't wait to see them Ken.

I just finished a new ACW set of four Confederates firing on the move with a detailed scenic base. I am now finishing up a 4 figure set of WWI French advancing and an attacking set of 4 US WWI infantry, both with scenic bases. These along with a couple of surprises will be posted soon. Sorry for the delay, it is Christmas and all that goes with it! Ken
 
Ken,

Thanks for the status report and again I very much look forward to the new WWII releases. I'm especially interested in the Brits/ Commonwealth and regular Wehrwacht troops.

Is there been any thought of ONWTC produces original vehicles (Sexton, vehicles, Shermans, etc.) or Customizing FOV vehicles (as in the past) to compliment new British/ Commonwealth ONWTC/ Britians figure releases?

I've bought all on the ONWTC and almost all Britians 2005-2006 (except Stalingrad) WWII release.

I'm a big WWII collector and prefer 1/32 or 1/30 scale but KC has done an excellent job earning my business but most collectors don’t have the discretionary income to consistently buy/ invest in both scales (IMO). Competition is good for the collector. If KC wins the battle (I hope they haven’t already), then the collector and the hobby will suffer in the long run both in creativity, choices and collectible value, IMO.

Perhaps a more formal alliance can be created between Britians and ONWTC for creative and to generate new financial capital to compete against KC to stem the tide of 1/32 collectors migrating to 1/30.

Just some thoughts I have, I’m rooting for you.

All has been too quiet on the Western Front from Old Northwest Trading Company. Yes, I see some WWI scheduled to be out in April and there have been some small releases of ACW recently.

However, what's new for WWII this year and when is it coming out? I know I saw some "Battle of the Buldge" last September in Chicago.

Thanks,

Carlos
