General Discussions / Is it just me?

« on: June 29, 2021, 03:59:04 am »

Hello all

Quick one. I've not been able to see the images in work in progress for a little while. Ironically I can see the pictures that Tracks has posted in the FT17 thread but I can't see any of the Rubicon pictures. This is across my phone, PC and tablet.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

 @ AD while I would agree that an all plastic kit would be awesome, Elias Tibbs is right. Rubicon Resin is not what you are likely used to and the prospect of the kit coming in this form should not be a cause for concern for any modeller whatever their skill level or preferences.

my only usual concern is .......that it wont be here fast enough!

Shiny! Chrome!

Excellent- long overdue this vehicle being available in plastic. I look forward to multiple ownership ( hope we get the alternative seating arrangement -early model- too,  a nice 2cm AA gun to complement it.....)

as ever  ( yes,  quality control etc etc.... production queue etc etc....) ....But HURRY UP!

General Discussions / Re: The visual appeal of 1:56 (28mm) scale figures.

« on: August 27, 2019, 08:34:05 pm »

Very nice! I have been doing likewise with some of the Rubicon figures ( vehicle crews predominantly) and  selected Warlord heads- it certainly doesn't work with all, the scale creep is too great but where it does it certainly helps to blend the war gaming figures with the vehicles. It is a dilemma and as stated beauty in the eye of the beholder, Absolutely love the Rubicon vehicles and unashamedly I will always go Rubicon where there is a choice between them and ANY other manufacturer Resin or plastic even to the point of replacing vehicles I already have when a new Rubicon becomes available- so subtle hint- keep churning them out!  . But, figure wise (despite the horror of the plastic US airborne - someone really crapped the bed with those! and the odd issue about weapon options) I'm a Warlord boy. I just find that they convert the most easily and paint up better than anything else on the market. again though....personal choice, each to their own.

 kettenkrad looks really good!

Wish Lists / Re: Your next British tank... which one?

« on: August 02, 2019, 06:44:34 pm »

How about  Rubicon expand on a tank they already have ? Here's 3 vehicles based on the Crusader hull .





If Rubicon decide to release a 17 Pdr than the Tractor kit  should be a given . If they release a 40mm Bofors than the AA turret could be released as an expansion kit . The ARV parts could be released as a plastic blister pack

I'm having a fat kid on cake moment!  yes, yes and thrice yes.  these would be great!

They have to start with the basic vehicle. that's a given. and Rubicon have demonstrated that they will do 'add on' kits.  I will happily be all over the standard Steyr but, if we get  an add on kit for oter options then I'm all over that too. 

This looks like a great addition to the range and is welcome.

From the Finland tank museum ( great place to visit if you get the chance. They have an armoured train!)  Charioteer Turret a possible option ( or add on)?
