New Modern vehicles released!

[fsn]

I was always fascinated by the AMX13 because of it's weird two-part turret.

As to the model being inaccurate. Will it look right on the table? I suspect so. I don't think you'll be laughed out the wargames club for fielding grotesques.



Not like me in Sheffield in 1983 - FSN

Agree fsn. Anyone who was so picky about a 10mm model generally seen from a distance  on the table is a person to avoid.

OK. That's it. I have a feeling people are having a pop here.

Or you could mention the sculptor is a friend and even though there is a minor mistake he does a marvellous job, even after recovering from a massive tumour...

Hi Mart, love the work!

On reflection, I should have known, considered and then mentioned Mart is a friend of yours and that he has just recovered from a massive tumour.
I'm new to the forum and did not realise how crucial these two facts were to this minor matter ...

I would be happy to have the AMX even though I know it is not quite right. I would have thought that would have come through by my comments. Sheesh! Its a toy tank in a very small scale. If I worried about small inaccuracies, I would have to throw out at least half my collection. As I said ...

Look good to me.  

overall, its not a bad sculpt, is it?

Mart. Didn't know you are the sculptor or about your tumour. I lost my Dad and my only brother to Mesothelioma within a 3 month period and can only imagine what a scary and traumatic experience that would have been for you. Glad to read you have now recovered.

[RS. Feel free to stand up for free speech. You did say, "The models look really great" and "slight problem" although I thought, "As it is, it looks like the Scimitar's Dad" was a bit harsh.]

Friend Singh and erm ... Westmarcher were making an observation.

I think they were done with respect and in good faith, and should not be too castigated for that.

I propose that Pendraken send a free ... no, three free samples of the AMX13 to everyone who has posted on this thread so far.  That way we can all make our own minds up, as there is no substitute for the real thing.

If that works, I have a list of things wrong with the Sho't. A long list. At least a squadron's worth of gripes. - FSN

Dream on, Nobby !

Comment not intended as a pop at anyone. Given scale of model comment appeared superfluous, particularly as both parties like the model.

The AMX13 and the Sho't have me reaching for my Arab-Israeli books.

Think we have enough in the vehicle range for a 1973 affaire ... but as has been said in many places, we could do with some modern infantry.

Is anyone close enough to Techno to go do his chainsawing for him, so he could knock up some figures this afternoon?

[Chad]

Without the T62 and Magachs, you will be hard pushed to do Yom Kippur

It wasn't meant as a pop at anyone, sorry. Was not meaning to upset.
Matt is a lovely bloke and when he pops on here is full of top information. When you meet him you will no doubt also become firm friends.


Go well, live in peace and blow up many tanks.

Go away....The chainsaw wouldn't work properly !
Cheers - Phil

[fsn]

In some ways I'm happy.

Though I  was looking forward to Techno-Scissor-Hands.  Blob of putty - snip, snip, snippity-snip - generic Soviet infantryman, 1985.

Oh I don't know. I think I can do quite well with T54/T55s, odd ISIII for fun.

[Westmarcher]

Still in a huff. 

It wasn't meant as a pop at anyone, sorry. Was not meaning to upset.

.... aw .. OK ...   

Or drive over...

If you come near me in that mobility scooter of yours, you're getting an RPG round sent your way! (But don't worry; its only in 10mm. Code VC4. Or VC9. To be precise accurate.  )

FSN - Thank you for your statesmanship.    Methinks you may need to paint some of your vehicles white. Pity you used up all of your white paint on that trophy. 

[here goes. Click.]

I was only trying to be empathetic with the new guy's points. It was an interesting comparison. I didn't agree with him but I couldn't help but notice another minor difference between the real one and the model. I didn't say anything disparaging. I quite like the wee tank. Difference doesn't bother me. It was an honest observation. Did I speak out against the regime? Chad says I should be shunned (is he Amish?). The Munich Rallies: I liked to think the crowd were shouting "Seek Help" but I was wrong. Again.

Crickey, that's nice. I don't recall moaning about the number of bolts on the drive sprocket but simply saying that, basically, while the AMX-13 was nicely executed there was a slight mistake (in a rather important area, i.e. does the turret sit in the middle of the tank or to the rear) which made it look "off".

Superfluous? On a board where people request figures for the Pomeranian Jäger zu Pferd marching band because the figures from the MAL 27 pack, while close enough, don't have the right lapels...

Thanks for all the comments, always gratefully received and nothing wrong with feedback on any of our products/sculpts.

[mart678]

Thanks for all the nice comments and support I really appreciate it !!! but I cannot claim credit for someone else's good work the Amx 13 and IS are not mine the Shot is and if you leave the skirts of you have a South African Olifant
As for a T62 will be coming after the 4 I have started are finished : )

Does this mean we've got to go through all of this again ...... 

I'm getting my coat.

Well, since you mention it, the nuts on the IS-3 roadwheel... 

Reaching for my coat, too.
