Prices cutdown

We have decided to cut down prices in all our own plastic products, so that they are now as follows:

	15GEV002 - PANZER I Ausf. A 1/100 scale - 5 hard plastic models in box Old price - € 21.95 NOW - € 19.95
	15GEV005 - T-26 Mod. A & B 1/100 scale - 5 hard plastic models in box Old price - € 21.95 NOW - € 19.95
	20GEV002 - PANZER I Ausf. A 1/72 scale - 3 hard plastic models in box Old price - € 18.95 NOW - € 15.95
	20GEV005 - T-26 Mod. A & B 1/72 scale - 2 hard plastic models in box Old price - € 13.95 NOW - € 11.95
	20GEV006 - RENAULT FT-17 1/72 scale - 3 hard plastic models in box Old price - € 18.95 NOW - € 15.95

On the other side, we've had no other chance than raising a bit one model's price, due to having re-tooled gun and carriage wheels, so as to cast them in metal instead of resin:

20GEV014 - SADURNÍ Tractor & Howitzer 1/72 scale - 1 resin & metal tractor & gun Old price - € 16.95 NOW - € 17.95

We apologize for eventual inconveniences this policy change might produce.

A 1/100 Panzer I conversion

A user of The Guild forum has kindly let us know the results of his job on one our 1/100 Panzer I ausf. A, in order to convert it into a Munitionsschlepper I. We warmly greet his initiative, as well as the permission granted for showing it here:

Anyone curious at this regard can read the original thread in The Guild (it's a public subforum, so you don't need to be registered therein for reading).

Comparing our 1:100 Panzer I Ausf. A

When announcing our 15mm Panzer I ausf. A release last week, we promised to show a few pictures of it painted, along with some other German tanks from other brands. Well, here you are such photos:

First of all, our Panzer in company of some Peter Pig and Battlefront infantrymen:

Now, our Panzer I along with a Panzer II of Zvezda:

And here below, all Panzers from IV to I. They're respectively from Plastic Soldier Company, Zvezda (both III and II) and Minairons. Worth to be noted that nearly all decals shown in this collection are by an obscure German firm called Peddinghaus Decals:

Finally, the whole family together, including two Zvezda Pz II and a second Pz III --this one from Battlefront:

Hope this helps you decide! ;)

15mm Panzer I Ausf. A, released

After a number of hard to explain accumulated delays, we are happy to announce our first 1:100^th scale fast assembly plastic tank to be finally ready for raiding enemy trenches!

Just as their 1:72^nd scale counterpart, our 15mm Panzer I Ausf. A tanks come in a sprue consisting of only 10 parts --2 of which are alternative turrets, the standard MG-armed one and the "modificado" 20mm Breda gun armed turret. These new tanks are available in a 5-sprues box, also including a decals sheet with national markings for not less than 6 early German, Kuomintang Chinese and Nationalist Spanish tanks. The whole set retails on our webshop at EUR 21.95.

Here below you can see how does one such small tanks look after some (still unfinished) painting:

And now close to a bigger cousin, the 1:100^th scale Panzer III of Zvezda:

I'm currently painting (as fast as I can!) a series of Panzer II to IV tanks from Zvezda, Plastic Soldier Company and Battlefront alongside to our own tank, in order to let you watch and compare all them. Most likely, I'll be able to show you pictures on next weekend.

15mm Panzer I A preview

We've been delivered a second testing batch of sprues of our upcoming 1:100^th scale Panzer I A, so that I've decided to assemble one of them and see what it looks like. For your appreciation, here your are some photos (apologies for their poor quality, I'm anything but good at taking pictures):

As it was just a test batch, no colour has been added to the plastic. Production sprues will be dark grey, naturally. Now here you are our Panzer I A compared to other tanks:

Compared to a Zvezda Panzer II (half painted, as you can see):

Now compared to a Zvezda Panzer III (primed):

Finally, compared to a Zvezda T-26S (half primed):

The good news so far. The bad news is that the batch has not been approved by us, because the sprues still showed a flaw. There was a peg missing --the one that should attach upper and lower parts of hull. The model can be assembled anyway, but this was evidently a mould flaw, and we want it fixed. This unavoidably means an additional delay of some weeks to our releasing expectations. We'll have to take some patience, it seems!

So, what's going on with us?

Things not always run as smoothly and fast as expected, no matter how much care you put at easing it. So that, sadly, I'm afraid we shall experience some unavoidable delays --nothing to panic about, seriously; but an always annoying issue for a newly born company indeed, because this uses to perceive itself as dramatically needed of a catalogue expansion...

However, while some things seem to inexplicably delay, some others get speed when least we expected them to do so. Such is the case of our re-scaled to 1:100 Panzer I A. Its mold making is advancing fast enough to allow us to present you the very first injection shots of the thing:

As you can see, there are still some injection flaws preventing a correct flow of plastic within the mold, so that the tracks haven't been formed, the hull still shows a gap or the Breda gun seems unfinished. Nothing to worry about, that's normal. First shots are done precisely for detecting such flaws and fixing them before real production starts.

About the plastic colour: Please don't panic! Again, it's just a test shot where the less important thing was choosing a colour for the sprue. Ultimate sprues will show the scary dark grey you all expect...
