2021, Looking Forward…
Happy New Year… Make sure you build and paint all your models every week for the love of the hobby. Have a safe and wonderful New Year!
Last year had been a challenging year for many, if not all of us. The pandemic had reshaped our work styles and had changed how the world works. For us at Rubicon Models, not able to do regular visits to our factory in South China, visiting clients and attending tradeshows had made us seeking new solutions for things that we had taken for granted.
Rubicon Models had expanded our studio to include a self-contained manufacturing facility to produce small volume high-quality items. This will help speed up the release schedule for many of our finished projects. We currently have over 20 plastic and resin projects in the pipeline that will soon be available for release at the end of Q1.
For our new Vietnam War range, we already have over 10 active projects on our drawing table, and a few of them are now waiting for sprue layout and mould making. We are also very excited receiving the first plastic test shot of our Viet Cong Male Fighter sprue just a few days ago, and mould making for the VC Female & Command sprue had just started.
Our main focus is still on World War 2; several new projects will get started right after the holidays… from early war onward! Being bold, we might pick up one or two Cold War-era vehicles and give them a try too!
May the New Year bless you with health, wealth, and happiness!
