More detail of Land units

Additional detail of Land units

Is it because the mold is top bottom release (rather than OOB’s mould’s side release with visible seam along center line) that the superstructure is so stripped of detail?  There’s obviously sharper detail for guns and whatnot, but I had kinda hoped for more detail on the tower.  Obviously, if the mold release requires all vertical protrusions to be smooth, those are the breaks, but still. bummer.  I prefer superstructure to gun barrels (side release to top release)

Is that a King Tiger in the background? I cant quite make that out. You said if its in the background that it needs revision. What exactly does that mean for that particular tank?

yes. they do have a king tiger!

specking of this, are the tiger 1 and 2 the same size?  is that why its up for revision?  if not what is the reason.

They made it just a bit to small.  I wanted it slightly larger as it was a HUGE monster of a tank in real life.

do you get to keep the uncoloured ones?
and if you do can i buy them off you?

Oh Hell Yeah!

I’m so impressed!  Beyond my expectations!

Great job you guys….great job!

I keep all the samples.  The are FMG “artifacts”.

g-g-g-great idea

Badass ships. I’ll build them and I’ll be pissed when they quickly get sunk.  :-D

Damn straight it was! That behemoth will be menacing on the game board.

@knp7765:

So the 2 tanks sculpts are Tiger I and Tiger II?  No Panzer III?  Aw shucks.

Bravo FMG.

@knp7765:

I’m surprised you went with the Stuka and Me109 (since WOTC went with those models).

I’m not surprised. I am extremely pleased however.

@knp7765:

Still, YOUR Me109 looks incredible.  The current ones will look like blank generic planes next to them.

That’s why I’m not surprised.

Usually to get what I want, I have to do things myself. In this case, FMG is making all the right moves for me. This is sweet!

Hey FMG,
You said the pieces in the back were meant for some revisions.  What was wrong with the artillery piece?  It looked okay to me.

Also, I still want to know why you decided against the heavy coat for Infantry #1.  The current one is fabulous and I’m very happy with it.  I just am curious why the long coat was omitted.

By the way, I withdraw my arguments on the size of the truck and half-track.  They look great here.  I still miss getting the Panzer III.  Now Germany will have both heavy tanks.  I was looking forward to one of them being a light/medium tank.

if this and most ww2 games(other than homemade) start 1940-1942 arround when heavy tanks were beeing developed and field tested.although the tiger were A little later(1943)

Hey! In the long term we can expected minor powers like Romania, Hungary and Finland? I will buy 3 set for each of them! :-D

They look fantastic! I’m glad you went with the Tiger 1, even though Pz III would have been fine too.

What about colors? Do they only come in grey to begin with, and then black after all the other sets?

The German infantry unit with the Great Coat is not abandoned.  But it will not be part of this set.

We are saving that for something SPECIAL and TOP SECRET in the future. I accidentally posted it out of excitement.

I WILL NO LONGER COMMENT ON THIS SO DON’T ASK!
