 Cool project, I could certainly see one as an objective in a game - or as a large (and no doubt expensive) scenery piece.
 Ripley - O gauge railway figures are probably the closest (possibly a little large)  & certainly the easiest to get hold of (I believe S gauge might in fact be a better match, but they're harder to find). Woodland Scenics and Noch have reasonable ranges.

  Yes, I'm reasonably sure the Centurion III on the Warlord stand is the Force of Arms one, they bought a bunch of their masters a few years ago. Personally I think it's a decent model, and not just because I bought one, though the tracks are a little low on detail, and I'd have to say the JTFM one is better (Richard did a marvelous job on it).
 Anyway, here's a pic for comparison (I left the bazooka shields off of mine though).

 Good to see you there, the Thoma skirts on the PzIV J look fantastic 'in the flesh', I look forward to being able to get them.

 UVS - The Bovvy Tiger B with the 'Porsche' turret was always intended to be a test vehicle & never saw service, which explains why it never recieved a coat of Zimmerit, while the production version was one of the earliest 'Henschel' turreted examples & so did.  They repainted it (and the Jadgtiger - also a test vehicle with the unusual Porsche suspension) in straight Dunkelgelb a few years ago, in order to be ready for their Tiger room exhibition - a more accurate representation of what the vehicles had when taken from Paderborn (I think).
 Here's what they look like now:

 I'll certainly be paying a visit, but would it be cheeky to ask if you're going to match your web deal on the Aufklarungspanzer 38t (the complete thing for £25)?

 I agree with Pinky that the 'Premier kit' idea is interesting, if, as you've stated, that the Tiger B will have all the things you mentioned, (all hatches open/closed, multi-part tracks - really curious about that one, are we talking length & link or something else - I'd imagine the resin type you're producing for other vehicles would be easiest, & they do look great, photo-etch - an excellent, if fiddly way of getting the mesh grills over the air intakes etc).
 I do think that the Tiger B is one those iconic vehicles (who's reputation far outstrips it's actual impact or usefulness), but I'm also with Pinky in that those early cold war vehicles can be equally 'iconic' - The Centurion, the JSIII & T-54/55 and the M26/46/47/48 do deserve some love. They do have a potential use for the Weird War/ Korea/Cold War gone hot type game (after all Warlord is introducing a Korea version of Bolt Action).

Edit: Whoops! Apologies, I hadn't realised that I'd put all that in bold - looks a bit shouty

Work In Progress / Re: A New Plastic Project for 2019 - Yes or No? 190401

« on: April 01, 2019, 11:12:19 pm »

 Well...While I can't say it's the highest priority for me, I can see myself picking up a couple - it's likely to be superior to the WG/Italeri version and is an iconic vehicle - my 10 year-old self wouldn't forgive me if I didn't get at least one (though some of those excellent resin tracks would make it more attractive - their size would make the extra detail shine out). That it probably doesn't have molded on Zim is a definite plus - though a transfer set (such as you can get for 1/35 or 1/48) could provide it if you wanted it.

 Looks great, any chance of it being available at Salute (if the resin tracks are too all the better)?

 Lovely, looking forward to making flak versions of the 7.

Now how do I make the vicar and the vampire crew figures?

- I look forward to the conversion, don't forget the minigun!

 At the risk of sounding excessively sycophantic, your resin kits/add-ons are easily the best currently available in god's own scale  & are an excellent way of filling gaps in the range where the subject is a little niche or unlikely to recoup the cost of creating an injection mold in the short term (much as we'd love it all to be in plastic). Really looking forward to the resin tracks - are you likely to have them available by Salute this year?
