Work In Progress / Re: Scenery Range - Farm & Market Produce Set Painted 190914

If you do some digging, this is what 1930’s era fruit and vegetable crates looked like:





You can see how they’re designed to stack.  I didn’t find any photos of ones Rubicon has done.  To me, they look too modern.  Also, I noticed that the produce often seemed to be displayed loose or in woven baskets.

Nice idea.  Why do the produce trays have such massive side pieces?  Wouldn't they just be simple open wooden trays?

I'd like more crates and suitcases and less produce.

The Scout Car is the biggie for me.

Well this is very welcome.  I didn't expect so many variants.  I hope an Archer can be done as well; it's probably the most useful variant.

I really love the way you do figures, Captain Blood.

Very cool to see the early M4A1 components at last.  Finally I can do some Alamein-era British Shermans.

This will come with a turret sprue and a sprue with the later tracks, right?

Amazing stuff, Rubicon.

Looking good.  This will be greatly superior to Warlord's clunky M4A4.

Did it.

Please don’t use “BRAND NEW” - GW overuses this expression and it’s kind of annoying...

These are rather good - the poses seem very natural and they have a nice generic look; they could be anywhere from Russia to Italy.

I suppose they have to continue to feed the fans of all things German.  I quite like this vehicle, and will probably get some (as opposed to the Protze).

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

Thanks for the input... we will do some research on the Valentine to see which variant(s) can be included in a single kit.

What's your view on which Valentine variant(s) you want us to do?

I'd like to address this.  I think the kit should include parts for a Mark II and/or Mark III (with sand shields, fuel tank etc), and a Mark IX.  This would give you a common Desert War version and a (useful) version used by the Red Army.  It might also be possible to squeeze in the parts for a Bishop (it's a horrible looking vehicle and a mediocre SP gun, but it would be a nice option to include).  Once the chassis is done, you could also do the Archer, which would (I suspect) be reasonably popular.

I'm just very happy to see a plastic Comet.  It's track design lends itself to the Rubicon treatment - it won't look overly simplified.  Surely a Centurion is a natural next step...

More love for the Brits - excellent!  I'd ditch the QLD in favour of this if I were you.

Interesting build, Ripley.  Does it feature the raised suspension seen on BEF tanks?
