Ed, those look excellent, rugged, battle worn!

I've been working on a few Arrowhead models this week, and I really am going to miss this miniatures line in the future – they're castings being so crisp….and the weight of metal has a quality all its own.

Nice job!

Great work!

Fabulous

Extraordinary! Cheers!

Very nice job! Indeed, metal weight and heft of tanks adds to the satisfaction in moving them around on the game table. Trouble is, the cost of metal puts them out of the price range for more and more gamers these days.

Spent 3 hours last night separating parts for 4 PzIII models and keeping parts grouped by the various marks (E, early F, Late F, G and H) was quite tedious. Changes in drive sprockets, return rollers, turret and mantlets on short 37mm guns a pain! Good old Feist to the rescue!

Sorting parts for the M4 and M4A1 much easier! Yes, these in metal and hope to have production molds ready soon.

Also to be added to the line will be our first towed arty pieces: US M1A2 105mm howitzer and the German K18 105mm howitzer. They will come with trails deployed and in towed configuration- your choice of posture. These, too, will be in metal when I can get master and production molds done. (I'd do them myself but my vulcanizer is located in another state!)

Not stopping adds for the 3D prints at all. They represent the most economical way to do WWII in 1/144th scale to date! I hope our 3D print quality and fast order fulfillment helps establish a good reliable, made in the USA, source.

War is hell – a business aiming to supply wargaming goods sounds challenging too (Tom, didn't you learn that the first time around). :)))

Seriously, it's been fun to follow your progress in RT (and we can learn to love resin too, like we did the bomb – if it helps keep the peace, and wargamin' going strong).

I think we're at that transition point, but it might get disorienting -

The next game I'm planning, will have two units of resin minis on a side, and two units made up of metal ones also….I hope no resin models get launched across the table as the players learn to handle the difference…….might end up having to call them Mangled-Herringtons in the AAR.

Ed has it right – no models get harmed thru his hobby (unless he's mangled a few along the way too). ;)

Can't have to many Jumbos!
