US/British jeeps?
« on: January 31, 2015, 07:39:00 am »
After your post the other day on the M3 half-track and sliding moulds, you mentioned jeeps. Is this something that is in the pipeline for this year?

If a plastic jeep kit was available that would be awesome. Being small, would they fit on a single frame? Could multiple jeeps come in one box? Would there be enough space for the .30/.50 cal?

Everything is possible! With jeeps, other than machine guns and trailers, you need figures... Need to solve this issue soon!

So now you're doing crew, please tell me this is somewhere in the planning? Paying £15 for a single resin jeep is soul destroying!

The driver/crew on trucks is only an experimental step towards making regular figure production.  It will still take some time to refine and improve sculpting and production techniques.  Jeeps can be easily produced, unfortunately not for the driver/crew/gunner...
