Thanks for sharing some of the specifics. Based on these measurements I would have to modify this entrenchment piece a bit in order to get it to fit. But, it’s a beautiful piece that immediately sparks some ideas for a number of potential scenes.

So the first impression I get from the poll is that WWI mid to late war Artillery and Vehicles are needed. That seems pretty straight forward.

The second thing I see is that German equipment for 1944-45 would work well for the Ardennes, and the push into Germany from both the East and the West. The Allies in cold or wet weather gear in the East and West and you could have a nice offering.

Thoughts?

Similar polls over the years have consistently indicated that most collectors are interested in late war subjects, with WWII the Western Front is always well ahead of North Africa and the Eastern Front.

Btw, another consistency is that TS companies keep producing White painted tanks etc for the Battle of the Bulge, never seen a photo of said camo in that battle and doubt I ever will as most are from later in the war.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Poll. The results were a confirmation of what I thought for WWII, but informative for WWI.

It is no secret that I like artillery, so it was a pleasant surprise and as a result there should be some artillery offerings in the future for both of these twentieth century conflicts.

For WWII, the confirmation will allow a more focused approach for uniforms and material culture that will easily place the figures in a time and place.
The branch of service, location and time of deployment are the key considerations for research and design. This will dictate uniform types, weapons and vehicles. In addition it can create an overall colour palate for uniforms, camouflage and markings that is more time specific.

Again Thanks!
Ken

Would love to see more buildings for WW2 dioramas.How about an updated version of your Normandy Church? That was a beautiful piece.
