Rubicon Models:

did you plan to release the models with decals ?

We are looking into doing some decals for the French light tanks. It will depends on the time we had for this little project. We are also making minor changes to the Neucraft models to make them more historically accurate. Once completed, we will start making them available again in resin.
tyroflyer:
It will be interesting to see how this goes. I have a Warlord Renault R35 which is okay for the wargame table. Will Rubicon compete on quality or price (or both). I don't have a Neucraft kit to know whether it is better than the Warlord one. I am confident a Rubicon plastic R35 would have been better. The Warlord R35 was bought when there was a discount and posted free by placing an order over 50 pounds, so competing on price isn't easy. Perhaps someone has a Neucraft R35 and a Warlord one and can give a quick overview on how they compare.
Nonetheless I wish Rubicon well because if the ex Neucraft models are a success we might see more resin vehicles and components that are unlikely to be made in plastic (in this scale anyway, all sorts of odd things appear in plastic in other scales).
ultravanillasmurf:
I wish them well.
I have never seen the originals so I have no idea of their quality.
I have had some dodgy resin kits (including one I bought at Salute last year). My top standard is the Empress own brand kits (not the HLBS ones). As you are at Salute this year, have a look at them.
ripley:
Last time I looked ( last wkend ) the Neucraft site was still up , go there and check out the kits . One tank comes with two different turrets ( vision ports ) , long and short guns as well as open or closed commander hatches . The other has the tail skid and some stowage bits , IRC , tarp , spare road wheel . Really nice kits IMO , real sorry when I heard they were closing down ,though I was SOL , now I can still get one from Rubicon
Pinky:
I'm not in the market for resin tanks - I think it's a poor substitute for plastic when it comes to vehicles, and better suited to terrain and accessories. But I think you'll find that Rubicon will be able to produce very high quality resin casting.
