Hi guys
I have been busy designing and printing a batch of early war tanks, they are “upgrades” of the Bergmann and Windham Graves sculpts, which among others I either have obtained or in the process of obtaining production rights, I love these designers, they did a great job, however their sculpts are designed for 1/100 printing, and are sometimes missing detail, or have detail designed to be easily seen at 1/100 which is too chunky at larger scales. My plan will be to eventually offer all of their WWII designs, plus my own, as pre painted models in 1/100 (15mm) 1/72 and 28mm, in 2 qualities, table top and museum, (I was going to also do unpainted, but I’m concerned that I’ll need to stock even more inventory) the picture of painted tanks will be the table top standard, basic spray job, tracks/wheels/tools painted, the premium will have decals, crews, stowage and weathering and maybe an option base, there is a fair bit of work in each vehicle, so I’m thinking of releasing them 5-6 vehicles at a time, by period, nation and vehicle type starting with the Polish and French campaigns, tanks, then Armoured cars, soft skins, AT guns and artillery. Sourcing packaging and a website as well, this will still be a long way off, I’m averaging 1 vehicle type per week to redesign and do a test print in each scale.
Regarding scale, I’m not keen on stocking 1/100, 1/76, 1/72, 1/56 and 1/48, what do people prefer? 1/76 or 1/72 (my preference) and 1/56 (my preference) or 1/48? Vehicles shown are 1/100, 1/72, and 1/56.
