    New samurai horseman by Revolution

    Just to add to the discussion: the horse of the kit is really designed as a European horse because it is the sculpt of the mount for the thirty-years-war cavalryman of Avanpost Miniatures - obviously shared with Revolution. Cheers Martin

    not to forget: significant numbers of these liberated POW`s were returned to the Soviet Union against their wishes by the Allies!

    Hi Martin, it's your personal history lesson about the good and the bad and the ugly - if it works for you and others... Enjoy. IMHO the way Pontiac's war and other conflicts of this period were fought cannot be judged that easily by today's standards but maybe it's just me. Cheers

    Hittite warriors were recorded in their own texts from 1500 BC to have driven people infected by rabbit fever into enemy lands and thereby causing an epidemic. War is hell - it is IMHO somewhat strange to judge historical events from todays perspective in such a drastic emotional view. I wonder...

    WAFFEN SS SCHARFÜHRER

    It is hard to give feedback if you don´t tell the scale. I like the details and the textures - the pose is somewhat straight up and down - I prefer more dynamic poses or poses that explain what the soldiers is about to do. And last but not least I have difficulties to understand your business...

    What a shock....Customs Tax

    That is standard procedure for goods from outside EU. It is just unexpected for us because we got used to the situation when Britain was part of the EU. The new situation makes life harder for small companies that want to supply their goods to customers inside EU but by this Britain was able to...

    mr. Vogels neighborhood

    very minor correction: neighborhood translates in German to " Nachbarschaft" - which in German again has a more personal meaning focussing on the neighbours living next to his place. If you say "Herr Vogels Viertel" (Stadtteil or Stadtviertel = urban district) it relates more to the surrounding...

    Uniform reference needed

    The link provided by Mirofsoft is somewhat misleading as it leads to modern camo patterns of the German Forces - you better google "Waffen SS Camouflage patterns" or "-camouflage uniforms". Below are the historical pictures that inspired the sculpt of your model. SS-Unterscharführer Ochsner and...

    Microsoft you are entitled to your opinion. It is irrelevant for the topic of this thread and nobody tells you what models you should like or paint. I just ask the same for myself and other mere mortals with bad taste.

    Of course - war is hell - as you said "partisan actions": IMHO equal to cold blooded murder in civilian disguise - at that time and today regarded as a crime that invited retaliation which was a goal of the partisans as they cowardly hid away - the only difference is that todays insurgents are...

    Interesting to learn that Warriors Kits came with a plastic seal - did not recall that from the time when they were available. If you mean the tape that seales the bottom of the box - that was of course a regular feature of these kits. About the soldier that served as the template for the...

    It's not me who is selling the kit - your post is just another proof that the value is in the eye of the beholder. I own a copy of this kit and can just recommend it's overall quality in respect of sculpting and close representation of the original person.

    Correct - the second kit is S&T products. So it has the OOP-value for some collectors.

    I for once bought a Warriors kit with box from Ukraine. While the box and decals were without any doubt original the contents of the kit inside were without any doubt poor recasts. The plastic seal of the first kit already indicates that something is wrong and you can only be sure after you...

    According to public sources Germany paid until 2016 the the total sumn of 74.513.000.000,--Euro as compensations (not finished) and that does not include the payments to organisations like the EU and else. If you lost or won the war before makes the difference if you have to pay compensations or...

    For fans of DRAGON figures and Ron VOLSTAD

    The total price including shipping rates to Germany is about 55 Euro. Fortunately I collected the boxarts from the kits back then - very good ideas about weathering and facial expressions.

    World Model Expo photos

    I enjoyed this event very much (thanks to the sponsors of my free ticket that was offered by Kevin on this forum) - the number of entries in the contest and the quality was unbelievable - I do not envy the judges! IMHO there were several pieces that were eligible to become best of show. Some...

    All beforementioned circumstances illustrate the strong influence of the bitter conditions of the treaty of Versailles upon the motives of German leadership and the population to wage another war. After the defeat of France the support of Hitler within the German population reached it's peak...
