Second problems with acrylic based primers adhesion on white metal. I likewise recommend a steel primer. Cheers Martin

Good background information but it should be stressed that Gordon Mitchell is a Napoleonic buff and does not depend on these facts provided by PF. Our Hobby mostly sells dreams and myths and these sell far better than the somewhat drab and less colorful events on the battlefield described in...

As far as I know the former owner of Kirin (and Jaguar Models) gave away some preproduction castings of this Fallschirmjäger without a box - at last I got my figure from him. There was a similar figure in the Warrior Models line where John had replaced the head and the arms with a new weapon...

LOL - wasn't aware that the "Old Guard" are an "unsafe" new approach beside the miniatures of Romans, Germans, etc. Still I think that the differences between a parade ground appearance and the campaign look of Napoleonic soldiers can be much more fascinating and modellingwise challenging than...

Hi Gordon, we know and like each other and I still recall our nice chat at Eindhoven some years ago. Therefore I am aware of your expertise and I share your feelings about the paintings that made me feel "how it was" as a kid until I got a healthy dose of the reality by being "in action" abroad...

David is correct about the historical shortcomings of the fictional "Old Guard-scene". Nevertheless very nice sculpting and animation. I recall the aggravated responses to similar posts in the years before that resulted in a silence by the the ones like David that would like to see at last one...

E-Mail password is big no-no due to my professional experience with the Police. Not worth the purchase. Cheers Martin

Gordon, you are always producing excellent and creative miniatures that tell a story. Therefore I like them regardless of nationality. Carry on with your projects but a Fallschirmjäger leaping out a Junkers 52 door frame would surely be a seller. Cheers Martin

Don't forget about the very popular German Paras ( lol)

Here is the plan - I intend to cover it in two days and will spend the night at the Minneburg Castle - so on Friday late evening I shall be back... it`s the region of Germany where I grew up - lot`s of wooded mountanious terrain, history and old castles along the Neckar river...

Hope you had a good time buddy - I will start off tomorrow for a 100 km (about 62 miles) hike - weather is still rainy and chilly but my bedroll and I can do it:happy:. Maybe I post some pics afterwards.

A tragic operation that served the purpose of the Allies quite well because it stirred things up in Czechoslovakia and brought up the brutal German retaliation the Allies had hoped for. The fate of the commando unit was sealed from the start - there was no planning for an extraction - and they...

Over here the same -- ups, obviously not:confused: just checked a previous post and it was gone...

The moment I saw the wrinkles and folds of her dress I had an idea what you are talking about. Wonderful result - a lovely face and a perfect pose as well.

Up to now I thought General De Gaulle landed in Normandy accompanied by some Brits and Yankees ...

Yes the curtains were set ablaze by the flash bangs and this operator was lucky that they finally cut him off. The single guy rapalling in the dio doesn't make too much sense but he can be used in another single figure vignette when you build him another wall and window. Anyway it is possible to...

This permission for long hair among the conscripts was shortlived. When I entered service in 1983 nobody left the barracks for the weekend back home with a haircut like this and guess how we looked... The surplus hairnets were distributed to reserve units drafted for short term exercises and of...

If I got the post of svt right you should paint the brown Hussar Pelisse because just the cousin of Denis Davydov wore the red Pelisse of the Guard and was falsely brought up by our member Martin Rohmann in his post.

I understand that the majority of our hobby companies are a cottage industry. After one of this new releases was recently featured as Inbox review on PF by one of our members I contacted Paul without success. Surely one day these releases will become available - model cellar is a reliable and...

The Mayor Holger Kelch supported the plea to name a street after the pilot... he forwarded it to the city council...
