These look wonderful!!

I didn't see a US vendor in the list. Is there a way to purchase these, here in the USA?

Dear modellers,

we sent some offers to stores located in US but it would be great if You could suggest some names we should try to contact with, maybe we skipped some important ones...
It doesn't have to be the biggest player on the market but we just want to have our stuff available in your area.

Hello,
Very nice characters!
Will you produce the reference "18-19th century crew" on a 1/350 scale?

Yes, but we can't give any specific date for it. Keep fingers crossed so we can clone ourselves to work faster :)

I am so thrilled to find these.

I use 1/700 ships for WWII (and eventually WWI and Pre-Dreadnaught era) Naval Wargaming, and I have wanted to have some crews for the various ships, so that they will look like they are actually preparing for, or participating, in an actual fight.

Mostly to create Bridge Crews, and some Crews on the guns that are open on the Deck, or the various Fire-Fighting and Damage Control Parties.

People already think I am insane for using 1/700 ships with PE included (I tend to allow only a couple of people to actually move the ships, and to date I only have about 6 USN and 6 IJN ships completed for the purpose. But that limits the people touching them. I also have a “demonstration ship” that I use to allow people to touch the PE, so they can see why I don’t allow them to move the ships).

But I want to have things “look right” regardless of needing a basketball court on which to stage the games (Technically we’ve used an indoor tennis court, and an indoor racket-ball court, so far, with one game that was IJN Sub-chasers looking for a USN submarine before the larger USN surface combatants show-up to rescue the sub… that was played in a garage, due to everything involved being small, slow, and with weapons that were not terrifically long-ranged).

But regardless of the reason…. Ships tend to have people on them. They just look better that way.

I was going to suggest something like a croupiers stick, but there's already a "war rake": https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/to ... ar-rakes/2

One of our club members showed your figures at our last meeting. I like your approach with most of the attach points at the head. This prevents the loss of legs when removing from the fret. It's much easier to clean up on the figures head than trying to clean up the bottoms of feet, assuming their feet are still there. :cool_1:

A personal wish list request of mine would be 1/700 modern US Navy sailors in hardhats for shipyard or drydock dioramas.

Thank you! This was our intention. Unfortunately we couldn’t avoid that in the newest sets but before launching it they gonna be tested by pro modelers. We try to make it as easy to use as possible.

Thank you for sharing your idea :)

We are gathering all ideas and all this might impact our development decisions.

Sorry for late reply. Yes we are working on this set but we can't promise it will appear very soon.
