"High quality" can be such a subjective matter. Regardless, we should do our utmost to support disabled veterans. |

The Universal Carrier is rather well done, especially the figures. |

True. The uni-color paint jobs are not bad. Maybe we can send them an airbrush for the camo jobs. |

I can't see a carrier – or the hanomag for that matter. Am I doing something thick? |

I just wanted to let you all know that the Vets who have painted these are reading your comments on the board. They have been mostly excited about what people say, but I did have a rather bad incident with one person on the first thread who said "They look like they were painted by chimpanzee's with toothbrushes". I did not like the use of the word chimpanzee since we do have 2 African American Vets doing these but want to believe it was just an unfortunate word choice. The critique of the paint job was unfair though and did hurt some feelings. We do not expect these tanks and vehicles to win awards for paint jobs, we just tried to do our best and offer them at a fair price. To see the happiness in these Men and Women's Veterans faces to have a job, doing something they have interest in, and most importantly something they can do since several of them cannot work any other type of job has been incredibly fulfilling. We understood that these might not sell enough to fund, and we still hope they can, but I was very happy and proud to give these Vets a real job earning money, and more importantly, earning self-respect. If you would like some tanks and vehicles, please pledge, if you don't like them, please keep your reasons to yourself so you don't hurt these Veterans feelings. Thank you. |

Who makes the kits? Are they 1/56? |
| Desktop Dioramas | 26 May 2017 1:35 p.m. PST |
The kits are 1/56 and most of them are Warlord Bolt Action and a few are Rubicon. |

Yes I thought the Universal Carrier was good and the M8 was ok too, but please give the guy doing the Russian armour a different shade of green that one looks bad. |

What does this mean? "All or nothing. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Thu, June 1 2017 9:45 PM BST." So in a few days if the goal isnt reached all those who have pledged end up with nothing? |

It means that no one will be charged anything and the kickstarter just ends. |
goes into repair mode when painted models are damaged in shipping.
