I just stumbled across the Viking Forge Minifleet line of 1/2400th scale miniatures. I'm curious to see the quality of their models - does anyone have any links to pictures? Thank you in advance. Google search didn't turn up any. |

Sorry, I have no pictures but, as I have a good many of their predreadnoughts, I can tell you that size and style are most comparable to CinC 1/2400. Prices a bit less than those of GHQ. I just got off the VF website and was pleased to find that they have added most of the missing Rus-Jap
War line I was planning to scratch-build. Hope this is of some help. |

The ships are decent enough, and remind me of the old Superior line. |

Not the ultra-details of GHQ but good enough for that scale AND the PRICE. The only line that I have stocked in my store for years. I have been able to restock for a long time. the best ships for your money. -Time Portal Hobbies- |

I would agree that their miniatures are very serviceable, and durable enough for wargaming. I don't think you will be disappointed with them. I bought a bunch of their moderns that no one else does, and was very pleased, e.g. Kuznetsov, Hermes, etc. |

For myself I have all the ships in 1/3000th scale so i don't need to go to another scale. Plus as far as i can tell Viking Forge doesn't make any of the Russian Aux vessels that went with the Baltic Fleet to Tsushima. Whereas in 1/3000th scale they make some of those Aux vessels. Captain Gideon |

why the heck don't you guys open a paypal account,having to mail you a list of what I want then waiting for you to mail back an invoice then mailing you a check or MO is tedious, can't you guys modernise your bussiness? Mikey |

Hyun, I've got quite a few for the Viking Forge 2400's in my collection. IMO, they're right behind GHQ in terms of detail so I'm sure you wont' be disappointed. |

whoa Mohamed, you do not have to mail us a list of what you want, then wait for us to send you an invoice, etc. etc.
All you have to do is send a check and a list of what you want. We have been doing it this way hundreds of times a year for 25 years without a hitch.
One of the many reasons we do not use Paypal is because it would cost us extra to use it. At an average price of $5.95 USD a pack, we are trying to keep our miniatures more affordable for you.
If this grates on you, may we suggest that you buy from our competitor at $13.50 USD a pack? They accept Paypal. |

Tumbleweed – why not add a small surcharge for PayPal transactions to cover your costs? Many online companies do this and most users find it acceptable – it also means worldwide coverage and customers…think of the possibilities…! I, like many others here at TMP don't live in the USA and so cannot send a cheque for payment which immediately precludes us from buying from you.
You will also get immediate payment from PayPal which keeps the money flowing in. |

Got a couple as samples. Having looked at the samples I went for XP Forge and Tumbling Dice. |
