Well, I had actually put this up a couple months ago, but I've been pushed to tell people about it.

300CLUBSF12, Japanese Schoolgirl Vehicle Crew

My proposal was for a couple half-bodies to put into hatches, and some full bodies for bogged down and bailed out markers.

Come on, let's get this started!

sounds generic to me

Never pledged anything on Eureka's 100/300 club before, do I just order them as normal, or is there a different way to do it?

Taskforce58, some years ago, when I had Eureka do 25mm Evzones, they asked that I use my credit card to, in effect, pre-order. They had my account number but wouldn't actually charge it until they got the requisite number of figures ordered. Once we hit the magic number, they e-mailed me to let me know and confirm that I was still interested (they probably also wanted to confirm that I still had that credit card!). I suppose I could have backed out at that point, if this had been some bizarre whim or fad.

I followed the link provided by Lion in the Stars and spent some happy moments looking around the site to see all the interesting things people think need to be produced. Great fun! I may have to go back and order things. I may have to think up some more things the gaming world desperately needs!

Lion: Writing in here and to any other groups you belong to is a good plan. In fact, write in again in four-six months, to get the guys who are on vacation or just forgot. I felt self-conscious doing this for my evzones, but it was what was needed to get them out in front of the gaming (and buying) public and get an economically viable quantity for Eureka to put them into production.

I'm in for 20 myself.

There shouldn't be any with the project title.

There might be an issue with how *I'm* advertising it, but that's not on Eureka's head.

I don't have a need for any but I think its a clever idea.

Good luck Lion! I've had 2 of my own submissions made by them so far and I'm very happy with them.

Same here!

What scale will these be guys?

Sorry if it was obvious and I missed it :D

Who cares ? If I can get female tank commanders, I'll buy tanks to fit ! Not like you will need very many.

Okay, 54mm might be tough…

Chef Lackey Rich Fezian12 Jul 2013 3:45 p.m. PST

Shudder. Much as I like GuP, this is surely one step closer to minis for Strike Witches. The world does not need that happening.

Hinterland Miniatures is your friend, at least in 28mm:

There's always Left Hand Miniatures for 28mm

Five more tanks in the pipeline, just completed the Matilda w/ 2 pounder gun but haven't taken any photos except the WIP.

Ah, thought everyone knew. '300 Club' is Eureka's 15mm request line.

Thanks Mate, I`ve never dealt with Eureka and didn`t know about their 300 club

John D Salt13 Jul 2013 2:13 p.m. PST

Given the size of the Hetzer and the Matilda, those are some really tiny schoolgirl commanders.

All the best,

John.

@John D Salt: Well, they are supposed to be 10-12 graders (Japanese High School is only 3 years). I'm sure if I went digging I could find the art board where they show how tall everyone is, but I'd bet on no-one taller than 165cm.

Thomas Nissvik22 Jul 2013 3:08 a.m. PST

Right, I have done my bit for the cause and joined the 300 club.
Panzer Vor!
