Looks nice but before spending your precious moolah be advised Das Werk are soon to release a 1/16 Half Track which has been previewed on Andy's Hobby HQ. It looks a beaut too.

Does anyone else feel Stokesy and Digger are this forum's Statler and Waldorf?

1/16 now seems to be the "go to" standard for armour - indeed MV' in general!
In which case I want to state - upfront - my demands for the following in 1/16:
* An AEC Militant Mk1 6x6
so I can remember the joy of face planting out of the cab after tripping on the 6x6 lever in a diorama. Or hurtling down the Haartz mountains in silent 6th screaming the head off and pursued by the Polizei (will also need a pair of 1/16 1970's BAOR driver)

A Bedford RLW.
so I can recreate the scene of 2 hissed as newt RCT drivers stretching the winch cable across the A44 to recover their RL sitting on its side in a ditch (don't ask!) Will need 2 figures as above

An OT-90.
Spoilt for choice of dioramas of people who fell out of/off of mine. Will need some 1/16 Soviet troops in M88 Afghanka.

I already "pre-ordered" purchased the Das Work version so I will be interested to see how the Trumpeter kit stacks up against it. Once it comes in I think it will bump its way to near the top of the TO-DO List.

I hope that having two of them will create a strong demand for figures and stuff to fill it.

You for all the trending towards 1/16. Not one WW1 or 2 truck has been produced.
I'd like a AEC 644 Marshall .....even just in 1/35 would be nice.

Why do we watch this forum, I guess we'll never never know....

Its like a kind of torture, when you see how some builds go....



Now I'm not casting any regional stereotypes, but the guy on the left is definitely an Aussie.

Give it time Digger, give it time. Kitform Services do 1/24 Cold War - and there is a Pinkie due the end of this year!! The 1/16 are sure to follow.... I hope.
