I'd like to be in, I have just started the Dragon M2A1 last week, it's probably about 10% built, got the chassis completed.

Can I still enter with this?

I've already name the dio I plan to build for my Famo , "Setting Up Shop", but it will be in German if I can find someone to translate it for me.

One of my colleagues at work might be helpful but I'm not quite sure what does the name "Setting Up Shop" stand for. Do you mean literally starting up a new (work)shop? If only you explained it to me, I think I could help you with translating it.

Have you decided what you plan to build yet????

Kettenkrad? Isn't that a 2/3 track?

I just hope that I can find the right figures to go with the models

I'm convinced that you mean the drivers' figures, but I found something great yesterday that would look just great with a German halftrack.



I found these on a Polish auction portal (Allegro.pl) and I think they are homemade copies of Verlinden or a similar company and unfortunately I don't know which. I don't want to advertise the guy's merchandise but if anyone would be interested in buying these I can send them a link. Unless I buy these guys myself

Cheerio,
Mikolaj

Hey Mikolaj,
you was correct with your first guess, they are copies of a Verlinden set, now I'm all for getting a bargain and a lot of people do make copies of manufacturers items but this is only tolerated if it is for personal use, once that person starts to make profit from selling the counterfeit merchandise it becomes highly illegal, the person making the copies, the owners of the site hosting the sale and the person buying them would all be open to legal action involving fines and possibly jail sentences. Just something to bear in mind people.

I've actually found the original ones a couple of days ago. They're not Verlinden but Custom Dioramics but it doesn't really matter...

You're of course right about it being illegal (only it wouldn't put anyone behind bars, at least not in case of figures). It's a good topic for another discussion on ethics, and I've had so many of them. You moved my conscience here and I wouldn't like to appear a cheat, especially not in front of such an honorable gathering as the modellers of armorama, but the case with such things here in Poland goes quite farther than only getting a bargain. I absolutely wouldn't call myself poor but 20 or more dollars spent on two figures to acompany a 30$ kit is quite challenging for my budget. I don't think I'll ever be able to stash 50 kits just for the fun of it. If I want to buy something to build I have to consider a lot of things and choose really carefully not to overdo with spending money. If I didn't find these bloody (copied) tankers, I wouldn't even consider buying miniatures like that, it's just too expensive. It's all a life of such sad choices for some of us. You want to listen to your favorite band? Download the darn mp3s, cause you can't afford the cd at the price of your monthly ticket that gets you to work or school... I know it's bloody off topic, long and sounds pathetic, but it's just how it is. For today, I choose not to bring down anyone's income and give up on these figures.. Please, all of you, excuse my confession.

Hey Guys

It's the first time I join a campaign. Do I have to post photo's and updates in this topic or should I make a new topic for my own?
