Hello from ArmiesArmy HQ! Hot "literally" off the press is the first master casting of the VDI BMD 1. Its missing its hatches (which can be deployed open or closed and its options of ATGM. It really looking impressive and will go into production moulds next week, ready at the following weekend for sale. I also hope to have the ASU-85 ready as I've also got the master metal casting completed. The hull (which will be resin) is also off to the resin caster. Ill be painting one or two of these up and shipping some for pro painting over the next day or two. Possibly…this evening as I cant wait :) p.s the infantry dollies were dropped off for casting today to :) Cheers Keith |

Looks terrific! Nice touch on the hatch and weapons options too. So, exactly how long is that little BMD? I can't wait, either. |

The size will scare you…… The real size will scare you! How they got in I have no idea :) My 15mm version is 28.2 X 12 x 55.6 mm pretty tiny really :) Which allows me to do it all in metal :) Keith |

Hi gunner It will sadly be slightly behind. Dollies are being cast this week, back to sculptor next, 2 weeks back to me, one week before production Add a week for real life |

No worries,
Will be patient |
| Bellbottom | 21 Oct 2015 3:30 p.m. PST |
Any idea of proposed cost please? |
| Mako11 | 21 Oct 2015 4:47 p.m. PST |
Yep, I knew they were really small, but man, that is tiny. Must hire 5' 0" guys and under to ride in them, when possible. Also explains why I see so many riding on the top deck, instead, in Eastern Ukraine, in addition to wanting to avoid landmine detonations. |

Oh no! More money I have to spend! A company of BMD's and a platoon of ASU-85's. My poor, poor credit card is going to burn up! But it says to Armies-Army, "We who are about to die, salute you!" So bring em on and I'll buy em as a Christmas present for myself! Merry Christmas and Air-mobile Operations – perhaps I missed the point of the holiday? But I can live with crass consumerism and military miniature obsession. So bring em on! Look'in forward to the purchase date, so keep us informed please!
Cheers and good gaming.

Is your ~4weeks prediction for the infantry just for VDV, or does that also include Swedes? |
| capt jimmi | 22 Oct 2015 2:33 a.m. PST |
Really, really nice looking kit here ! … can't wait to see these on my desk. |
| Mako11 | 22 Oct 2015 2:45 a.m. PST |
Almost forgot to mention, I could really use these in 1/144th scale as well. |

Hi Lion just vdi for the moment. I need investment :) |

Nice.. I play 20mm so I am lucky to have available the very nice S-Model 2 kits for 15 bucks plastic model version. These look very goo, very similar. |
| Mako11 | 22 Oct 2015 11:25 a.m. PST |
Yep, or to look at it my way, more bang for your buck, on the same design, especially if the original was done with a computer mockup that can easily be rescaled, and reprinted. ;-) |
| Armiesarmy | 22 Oct 2015 1:01 p.m. PST |
sadly to many other factors Mako
WIP of them :) |
| Lion in the Stars | 22 Oct 2015 6:12 p.m. PST |
That's OK, I want some VDV anyway, and VDV can fight anyone in NATO (and a few that aren't). |
