Appeal for a 1:35 Aussie Infantry kit

Please sign your name on the thread above if interested.

Chas

The 'petition' is well underway. If you have anything to contribute, please feel free to post.

Regards,

Chas

Keep the names coming!

Chas

Friendly bump.

Things are going really well. Petition count is now at 28.

Chas

Hi all,

The petition will run for another week or so before I send the proposal off to MB. Make sure you get your names down and post some reference material!

Chas

Bump for the final few days.

Remember to submit any pictures or illustrations, it could mean the difference of getting the kit released or not...

Chas

The proposal has been sent to MB, awaiting reply.

You can still post your name or pictures up as MB may now be watching!

Chas

Bump

Good news, Jim Rae has just alerted me that the Master Box team have received the proposal documents and have looked through them and '...found a great lot of interesting and useful information.' They have also indicated that '...this matter is worth considering and thinking over thoroughly.'

Unfortunately, Jim and I cannot pass on a definite verdict just yet as the company's director, Alexander, is currently away on holiday. As soon as he is at work again, MB have promised to '...consider and discuss this matter...' and get back to us, hopefully with a positive answer!

Fingers, toes, eyes crossed!

........And a few brews to smooth out the wait. Of all the 'Want' list items thrown out at the collective kitmakers,this one has to be the most researched and documented request.
I'm betting it's a fire,forget,it's in the bullring deal. Kit's in our hands by July '09!
Rick

We are due to hear back from Masterbox's director very soon, so keep up the interest and let's see if we can reach 50 names!

Hi Chas,

Hope all goes well with the campaign, and thanks for the update.

Al

I'd like to encourage a big push for Australia day!

Here's hoping that modellers answer the call and our voices are heard by the figure manufacturers.

Chas

Gday Chas any news yet?

Martyn

G'day Martyn,

We should have some news to report when Jim Rae meets with MB Ltd. in early February.

Great news! I so hope it goes ahead!

Martyn

G'day guys,

For the benefit of armour modellers with an interest in figures (join the dark side!) I welcome you to come view the latest news, and join the discussion in the Aussie infantry appeal thread. If you want, you can even put your name down to support the appeal.

Chas

add my name guys ,, will go well with all the aslavs around at the mo ,,, im all for any thing modern , assies , yanks and euro figs where ever

That's Aussies, mate - not "assies"

This drive is specifically for WWII PTO Aussie figures, not modern - although it would be good to see some.

Rudi

lost hope that MB do a scene from the Kokoda Trail the poses alone would be dynamic to say the least. Ant

You've lost hope? Why is that?

I agree, I'm sure MB would do a fantastic job in terms of dynamics.

Chas

I think he means "Let's hope"?

Hi Chas,

Lets hope it goes well as I'm pretty sure they could double as Chindits which would also be good.

AL

Rudi, thanks, let's hope he meant it!

Thanks Al. They would certainly provide a good base for Chindit conversions.
