Bonus points if you can do a waterline one that you can convert to a full depth one.

It would count as Schutzen (against heat), same as shopping trolley armour does on modern vehicles.

On the subject of plastic, I was looking through my figure boxes yesterday and my British rifles have suffered 30-40% casualties, which is a bit irritating. Hopefully the ABS would be stronger.
Not sure if I will have to scrap them.

Okay, the Crooked Dice mattress is rather bourgeois for the good Soviet soldiers.
I will finish this someday.

They have just started on the Panzer III.
Early war infantry wth associated tanks would fill a gap in the market.

I can understand your list, many of them are on my list.
However the Sherman V is right at the back of the list due to there being an existing plastic kit and requiring a lot of redesign (there is a post on that somewhere).
The Warlord M4A4 kit is no where near as good as their M4:

The Sexton is less likely than the Priest.
The Cromwell and the Universal Carrier again have an existing model, the latter being a rescale of a PSC kit.
There was a discussion on the Churchill (when the Warlord model was announced), a late version would be great.
I suspect that our Gracious Hosts will be looking at the sales of the CMP, if you want more British trucks you will need to buy lots of CMPs.
I am surprised you did not have the Dingo on your list (I assume you mean the big Armoured Cars from Daimler and Number).
I would hope for an Archer after a 17 pounder and a Valentine similar to the 250/251 kits
I am surprised at the Matilda 2 being last on your list.

Crooked Dice have just released resin mattresses, I will find one and photograph it on a Rubicon vehicle.
Mattress armour would be useful.

Thank you for the information. That is useful to know.
Usual disclaimers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene
Interesting that it can be recycled (though it is rare).
Humbrol claim liquid poly works on ABS (I find it does in general, though I suspect a newish pot works best).

I have had a few problems with Rubicon plastic, but only the Studebaker caused serious problems (not as bad as the Mongoose Starship Troopers plastic).
I do not like the plastic used on the Warlord/Italeri Churchill, it reminds me of Finecast resin when I was cleaning it up. It glued okay though.
I certainly understand the comment on the material colour, I find it hard to resolve details on the components.

« on: May 23, 2017, 06:52:08 am »On the subject of infantry. On Dakka Dakka someone mentioned you had plastic infantry in the pipeline. Is this true and if so? Do you have any concept artwork/design you can share and which nations armies are you looking at first, hopefully all of them all at once LOL.Have a look at this Work In Progress (digital sculpting) thread (Soviet infantry message, others on the thread)
http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=235.msg6903#msg6903
Would also really love to see a Brit Sherman V / Firefly kit as well as a Universal Carrier.Have a look at the Wish list and Work In Progress threads:
http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=395.0
The above covers general Shermans stuff.
The Universal Carriers are somewhere on the wish list threads.

Not actually about the T26 but might be of interest.
