Glad you made the right decission Darren.
After I finished last evening the Douglas, the rider and the captain and I put them up on Ron's base I have to buy something WW 1 related.
So I can hardly wait to get upstairs and going around all the goodies you have for sale

Good choice Daren, you don't want to be roughing it on the trading floor!

Can't wait to see your new releases!

Well done Darren you've generated something that's been missing from Euro for quite a few years...............anticipation.
Since the burgeoning of interest group web sites and those from suppliers and producers we all too often know what to expect.
I well remember rushing to Beneito's stand as my first port of call to see what goodies were on offer....... now I tend to go with a shopping list.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your new stuff and the display stand should look great.
Cheers
Derek

Darren despite my comments at the beginning of this post, I agree you have made the right choice and will create an excellent exposition on your stand that will do very well. You can look down on me being hot and sweaty on my stand in the main hall and go into smug mode!

Looking forward to Euro, and I'm booked up in my usual spot on the balcony.

Couple of updates:

1. I'm afraid that the VC release won't be ready for Euro. Long story, but it's very, very close but just not quite ready to get packaging, instructions books and the rest together in time. However, figures TW54017 and TW54018 (2 Royal Flying Corps pilots) are ready, I have the box art and they look fantastic.

The VC release will now be available end of October, and be available at Scale Model World in Telford in November.

2. However, its not all bad news and I'm delighted to say that I will have 8 of the original box art figures in the display case.

Earlier this month Gunther Sternberg and his wife and children came over to the UK and we spent a very enjoyable couple of days with them in London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. We had a fantastic time and Gunther very, very kindly brought over 8 of his box art figures. This is very exciting for me, as it is the first time I have seen them (apart from photographs) and they really are wonderful.

So, my apologies for anyone hoping to see the VC release, and sorry for the big build up for something that never happened. I understand it's frustrating, but it is important to me that when I release this that I'm 100% happy with how it is supplied.

It will be worth the wait though!

Hi Darren
Hope you don't think me selfish but that's my Xmas present sorted. My wife is chuffed she hasn't got to keep asking me for the next 5 months what do I want for Christmas. Looking forward to seeing the box art at Euro - a pre Xmas treat.

 

[Tommys War]

I'm hoping lots of my customers will put this on their Christmas present list!

With a bit of luck we'll have the box art image for Euro, but I might bring along with me an unpainted version of the set (built and perhaps primed) to wet some appetites.

However, I do like to keep releases a fairly closely guarded secret until I'm ready and able to ship, so I might just keep everyone waiting just a little bit longer!

Can you let on as to how many figures are in the VC set?

Can you let on as to how many figures are in the VC set?

At the risk of giving the game away. Four, all sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi. I had 2 sculpted in 2012 and 2 this year (it gives you an idea of how long this has taken to put together!). In my humble opinion (and not just saying this) his best figures yet.

?? In a VC you are usualy alone !!!

?? In a VC you are usualy alone !!

ah, I said there were 4 figures, I didn't say they all won the VC.

It could be 4 VC winners or it could be 1 VC winners with 3 other men. I'm not revealing more than that yet!

 

[MalcC]

VC or not VC that is the question?

Look forward to seeing you at Euro.
