Well here's my Sherman project..

A full company of Shermans.. 3x platoons of 5 Shermans, 2x command Sherman and a 105mm. Mostly Rubicon. 


First platoon completed.


I can't take credit for this conversion. I needed an M32 to complete my company so I asked a friend of mine (Richard Humble) to make me one using the Rubicon chassis!

Not enough people want them to justify the plastic moulds.

The tiger II didn't look that good.

They have redone the British jeep and increased the size of it. When I questioned why they said another company was bringing one out and they realised the scale was wrong on theirs.

I'd find it hard to see the sprocket if the tank was upside down!

It seems like a great pretext for some early war armour in plastic.  However, it's likely to be of limited appeal, and from the way they are marketing it I suspect it will be mostly metal figures and resin versions of some of the wacky secret weapons the British came up with.

New Releases are below. All resin or metal. Not sure if there will be a second wave. 

British LDV section
German Early war Waffen-SS
British Armadillo
German StuG D
British snipers in ghille suits
Home Guard smith gun
British North over projector
British blackard bombard
German Pak 36

Warlord are releasing an early StuG as part of their sea lion releases.

Will it be plastic or resin?

Resin

Any idea what the black stars and the white and red striped stars were used for?

Do you think you'd be able to put a 75mm and 105mm guns on a single frame for the early war half tracks?

Mad bob makes them withtracks that can be replaced with broken tracks to show imobilised.

Agree with it all.

I had to clasp at straws to find issues with the kit and he only real gripes I could get was the tread pattern and lack
Of .30 cal for a pintle mount

I know it's probably been mentioned before, but what is the plan for the 75mm/M4A1 kits?

Will they come out as their own box or as an expansion pack?
