Nice!

Wow! Very, very nice stuff! I love the poses, the details, and the style. Those are literally my dream poses for a German squad. Especially the LMG gunner (any plans to add an ammo bearer or two?).

To save you from the barrage of questions that will inevitably follow:

1. How do they compare to Bolt Action, The Assualt Group, Battle Honours, Victory Force et. al.? Height, Bulk, etc.

You will need to show pics of side by sides to actually make people stop asking. Even then that won't end the question completely.

2. Do you have plans to expand to be able for us to complete a platoon with command and support weapons?

No one wants to just end up with a single squad of minis and nothing else to go with them.

A question of my own: what makes these first minis "Panzergrenadiers"? Late war Germans in the Heer wore the same varieties of uniforms. There was only one distinct "Panzergrenadier" uniform and it was given to a few units like Panzer Lehr (this is the panzer wrap uniform similar to the uniform worn by assault gun crews). If it is based on the squad structure, you need a second LMG team (10 man squad with 2 LMG teams, excluding driver and gunner for their ride).

Seems to me these could be any late war Germans. In fact, the squad structure is set up perfectly for a late war Grenadier squad.

With all that said, I really, REALLY like these models a lot.

I plan to buy some regardless of how they compare to other models. The only thing holding me back so far would be a website and a plan to make more.

Keep up the great work. I love the fact that the rifles have nice looking slings! They look just like the one on my 98k!

Thanks!

Keith

Glad you like em.

I will get some comparison pics asap (Good point).

"Seems to me these could be any late war Germans. In fact, the squad structure is set up perfectly for a late war Grenadier squad."
That's what I wanted to do. Ideal for rules like ROE

I am working on AT 8cm Mortar SF MG42 for release in the new year [Feb] along with more variant squads and I plan to have the range cover what is needed for a whole platoon *smile*

Americans are progressing to.

Website is coming soon.

BTW P&P is min 10% min 2gbp and orders over 50gbp post free.

Cheers

Fantastic Mark I think the posing is quite natural and good equipment it would be nice to see their backs too!
One question: you have a set of 6 Rifles,1 Mg42,and 3 Mp40 Smg.
Could you tell me why you have chosen this number of elements,and how many will there be in a blister?
Best regards
Gui

Very nice looking models, looking forward to seeing more of your releases.

Warlord

you have a set of 6 Rifles,1 Mg42,and 3 Mp40 Smg.
Could you tell me why you have chosen this number of elements,and how many will there be in a blister?

I only see a set of 9 including 6 Rifles, 1 MG42 and 2 MP40s.

Yes,6 rifles, 1 Mg 42, and 2 Mp40 Smg.
I know some use 9 elements in mid war German Infantry section is this the idea?
But how will they be divided into blisters?
I ask because usually the number is 4 per pack!
Best regards
Gui

These are possibly the nicest WW2 Heer I have yet seen, well done! The fact that they come as a full squad is a bonus.

Thats a bold statement Phil, thanks.

Kind of.

But how will they be divided into blisters?

Not sure yet but they'll be in blisters at some point.

There's a Sniper team to, I forgot about those.

I'm more than open to suggestions of what might need to be made in future. TBH I really could do with help regarding unit organization and reference pictures to. If anyone would like or can help please drop me a PM or email.
I've had a few attempts at getting a miniature range off the ground, this time I really would like it to work.

Cheers

I am doing the same Mark but mine is at 1/48 (36mm) scale so not really your market target,it is a huge effort,my main drawback is the huge number of different ranges I am finishing some,and others will have to wait for a 2nd wave.
Yours is starting with what forces or nationalities?
The number of figures per pack,baggie,box or blister is really important,it usually is 4 but things are changing now,it is no secret so we should talk freely,that a lot of people would like to buy ready made sections of say 9-10-12 figures depending on the country.
From a producerīs point of view that might be a big number to pack,plus the change in pricing might also present a new matter to the buyer.
Recently I finished a master on which some of these topics were studied hence the odd approach,but it would be nice to have you view on this.

Mark, check your PM box.

Mark, I e-mailed you but it bounced!

Mark,

Those look nice. Really nice! So nice they go into the realm of "I don't need any more of these models but I am going to buy them anyways!" nice!

Saying you're making a sniper is intriguing too! I hope you keep us updated.

How will shipping work out for us in the U.S.?

Mark, I e-mailed you but it bounced!

Try again.Unless you are the Phil I just emailed.

How will shipping work out for us in the U.S.?
I hope you keep us updated.

See above post for UK/RoW shipping and I will keep you updated for sure.

that a lot of people would like to buy ready made sections

From my own experience I have to agree. Gui have you got a link to your miniatures?

And thanks to everyone who has offered help

Cheers

Very nice, I really like the animation.

Mark, sorted, order sent!
