02 New busts 200mm by PEGASO MODELS

[Filipe]

Is this Planet Figure or Planet Whinger??? as the other thread of Youngs. If you don't like it move on. Sorry I just have to say it.... if you don't like something find something you do.... sometimes this site starts sounding like an old granny site. I am not picking on an individual but I find it painful that some people say "not another one". If you can't find something you like out of all the stuff coming out these days, daily/monthly and have nothing in the GA to paint, I think you should start sculpting yourself.

These sculptors do amazing work and I would hate to see them close business. I just don't get the comments " not another one" " done a hundred times". I get people will say, "I am allowed to have my opinion" and you are, I just don't get why your not putting that time into something you do like.

I like the saying " don't take me to negative town" and somethimes when I read these comments I wonder where some people live.....

A lot of times the new figure or bust is done better than the last ten before, or maybe in a different uniform or better head sculpt than the 100 before or maybe the hands are sculpted better. Lots of people here including myself rave about the old S&T figures from John Rosengrant, weren't they Germans and Tankers. I wouldn't say they had never been done before it's just that the sculpting, poses and casts were great.

Whenever I see "not another one" comment, I think not another one also

I am ready and scared.........

BMB, just to be clear, I was only making a joke. None of the busts are my thing, but companies need to do what sells, that's it.

I would love to see a WW2 hungarian soldier bust with the quality of Young, or even a full figure by Alpine, amongst other subjects, but I know that they would not be great sellers. So...thats it.

Both are great!

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Can anyone recommend or suggest a US retailer that might have these? I like 'em but I'd like to avoid a large overseas shipping invoice.

Any help would be great.

Thank you,
Steve

I totally agree. Couldn't have said it better. If you don't like it, don't buy it. The simple fact figures like this are made and put up for sale is the result of a lot of people who love to paint them.
And that alone should make us all very happy here.

Oh and btw......pulling up one side of your upper lip.....tried it and guess what....I CAN DO THAT!!

These releases seem to have generated a few rants.......... perhaps a might be wise for those concerned to drink less coffee or something.

But that's the point, we don't know because (as far as I'm aware) it's never been done before! If it's something a bit different that's done well, it might fly off the shelves.

I think that this "but Germans sell well" approach/argument is at least party a self-fulfilling prophecy: Germans are long-established on the market ... so they already have a large "fan-base" ... so manufacturers release yet more Germans ... which then sell ... so manufacturers think "hey! everyone wants Germans" ... so even more Germans get released .... (rinse & repeat ad infinitum).

Obviously manufacturers want to see a return on their investment. Which of course is fair enough, and no-one is actually saying "no more Germans please" (a point I think that's lost on the guys making the "just-be-grateful" comments above). Just that it would be nice if some manufacturers were a bit more adventurous a bit more often.

Just ordered the American Tank Commander. I'll post my thoughts and pictures when received.

Sorry, I would REALLY like to see what everybody is "whinging" about. But I see no photos on the original posting. Kind of hard to judge anything from a question mark. Can anybody offer a link to photos of these models?

Zinnfigur is where I get my models from, brilliant service.

The problem is not just 'too many Germans', there's also to many French Currassiers, and don't get me started on Roman Centurions....

The real issue, in my opinion, is not that there are 'too many Germans', but to many SS MG gunners, and Tank commanders. And SS infantry... in very similar poses. A different scale, and target market, but Miniart really put a cat among the pigeons when they started bringing out there 1/35 crew sets "doing things". Fixing tracks, cleaning gunbarrels, climbering over vehicles, humping barrels on to trucks... mixing civilians and military (police), and generally the kind of stuff nobody else did. (Or in individual figures, often at £10 per figure or so..).

We would like to see some variety.

Thanks!!

This new one looks better
New head sculpt/Mod

Nap knows I only do legs but this one I will have to get

 

[bonehead]

The original head on this one was a bit "cartoony". This new head, with its sublime painting, put it into another category altogether.

Awesome!

No whinging necessary.....
