Work In Progress / British QL 6-pdr Portée - Drawings 210925
« on: September 25, 2021, 01:50:45 pm »
When we first designed the Portée, we were thinking to release it together with the two recently-released Bedford trucks in plastic.  However, the QLT-based Portée had a heavily modified cab and rear trunk with a raised floor, making it extremely difficult to share common parts with the QLT.  We eventually scrapped the idea of a single shared QLT/Portée product.

We understand there are a lot of British North Africa Campaign enthusiasts out there who wanted a Portée in their army collection, we'd decided to resurrect the project into a mix-media product.  Our plan is to release this after the plastic 6-pdr gun is available sometime early next year.

Work In Progress / M151A1 & M151A1C 3D Drawings & Sprue Layout 210705
« on: July 05, 2021, 07:33:57 pm »
Seems like we had AGAIN overlooked posting this project to the forum. Sorry...

The M151A1 project was initiated back in late September 2020 and had then split into two that included the M151A1C as well.

Here are the initial M151A1 3D drawings...

New Project for the month of July 2021... Soviet ZIS-150 / ZIL-164 4x2 4t Truck.

Finally, a transport for the NVA/PAVN or any other conflicts and can be used as a civilian truck!

This ZIS-150 kit also has the option to build as a ZIL-164 as well.






























Enjoy!

Under the shadow of COVID-19, manufacturing and shipping of goods had been a problematic issue for small businesses like ours.  We had been working diligently to get our ongoing projects completed for releases.

As you all recalled, spearhead shipment for our last release was eight kits (2020 Wave 2) right after Christmas last year followed by a general release in February due to issues with shipping.

Despite all these problems, we have finally organised a production run for ELVEN new plastic kits (2021 Wave 1) just as we speak, and hopefully, the spearhead shipment will be available via our dealer channels and on our webstores.  The normal availability will be in late July.

In the meantime, please support us by buying more kits for your collection!  Enjoy your hobby and stay safe.

Work In Progress / NEW PROJECT - M24 Chaffee Drawings 210604
« on: June 04, 2021, 12:42:47 pm »
Another top contender on our Project Wish List... the M24 Chaffee!

The M24 Chaffee was used towards the end of WW2, and later in the Korean War.  It was also used by the French in the War in Algeria and the First Indochina War (Vietnam).  Some former and US Chaffees are known to have passed down to the Army of South Vietnam (ARVN) where they saw service at least until the Battle of Hue, with several as fixed gun emplacements outside vital military installations, such as airbases.  M24 were also used in the British service where it got its service name, Chaffee.

Work In Progress / Renault FT Light Tank - 3D Prototypes 210628
« on: June 01, 2021, 12:36:04 pm »
New Project for the Month of June - Renault FT Light Tank

The Renault FT Light Tank is one of the topmost requested vehicles we have on our project Wist List, and it is now a reality!

Early gamers and modellers rejoice!  Key features include a choice of drive wheels and sprockets, cast or riveted turrets, multiple gun choices, and optional interior details for the driver and engine compartment!

We are also working diligently to include both the FT and M1917 builts, but due to an excessive amount of minor detail differences, we will have to wait and see...

NOTE: These are still preliminary drawings subject to change as the project making progress.

Many people had raised lots of questions about our new 'Nam range.  We are now giving you an overview of the current state of this project.

One of our objectives is to have vehicles that were still useful after Vietnam War in plastic, and those more or less became obsolete will be in resin.  All basic figure sets will be in plastic while selected weapon teams will be in pewter or resin.  Some vehicles are not shown because the project had not started.














Enjoy the update!

Work In Progress / PBR 31 Mk II Patrol Boat Prototype 210507
« on: April 09, 2021, 12:13:32 pm »
This is another project for the new 'Nam range... the PBR 31 Mk II Patrol Boat.

This is our FIRST watercraft project and we had spent a lot of time researching to make sure we are doing it right.

We still have not decided whether to produce this kit in plastic or in resin as the production cost varies significantly.  Will do some more marketing research before proceeding.








































Enjoy!
