OK. I'm not proud of myself, but I actually got T35s from Minifigs. I'm sorry, it was a moment of weakness following information received from an informant known only as Deep Throat.

Actually look OK next to the Pendraken T28.

Sorry everyone.

I am very penitent.  :-[ and when Pendraken make a T35, I will cast away the MiniFigs ones.

I just didn't want to be a bother.

It's quite good...

I am unrepentant. I have a T35 from everyone who does T35. From 2mm to 1/35...  8)

As confession is apperently good for the soul -   Not sre about that, but then I have been accused of not having a conscience .

I have a  Three Minifigs T35's, They are quite nice, but do have a lot more flash to deal with. 

You also have to deal with the sometimes erratic Minifigs.  I have always had any problems sorted, but have had to go back to them for missing or miscast bits about 50% of the time.  Eg when I ordered the three T35's, one hull was missing.  How can you miss out a hull that size?

I have pretty much given up on Minifigs. Some of their things are quite nice when done but the flash etc and hence the preparation to get them ready to paint is so much hassle - I just can't be bothered when Pendraken are so clean. Never mind the cost and the rediculous postage add on (not had chance to get to any shows for a few years other than Cardiff - and they don't come either Leon  :P :!!)

any way rant over - just curious Leon, seen mention of the Russian tracked howitzer in a few posts and I wondered if it was getting any where near beign on a to do list?? :D

I found the same with Minifigs vehicles - that it took a lot of effort to tidy them up to assemble. The end result was nice but hardly felt worth the effort some times.
