Title: tank crew
Post by: slinky on 26 March 2010, 05:08:27 PM
I noticed in some of the pics on the pendraken picture site that the tanks had crew inside the open top afv's, is this someones conversion of normal figures or is there a line in tank crew? :-\

I think that list needs updating, cos we released the A13 and the Hellcat a while back now!  The Toldi was in the last batch of masters and should be available for Salute.  Hopefully there'll be some Allied tank commanders on their way to us at Triples?  Maybe Snafu can confirm?

And I think the other designer is working on the T26 at the moment, cos we get a lot of requests for it, especially now the SCW range is out.

On the first few pics on the flickr site there are figs in the M10's and M8's, any clues?

I'm not sure on those ones Slinky, they're from a load of photo's a customer sent us ages ago.  I've got loads of pics on our email system from the past couple of years that I'm trying to get onto the Flickr.  I can't remember the name of the guy who sent those, but I'll get Dave to have a look and see if he can identify them.

Unless any of the other WWII aficionado's on here can help?

Dave's had a look at those pics, and we think it's just a regular guy chopped down to fit?

It is, I remember a post somewhere by Tony on that, he used cut down figures to sit inside and look occupied......

Afraid not Dazza, by en-route I mean the designer is bringing them to the show for us.  We'll try and get them moulded up straight away ready for the May releases, but can't promise anything.
