Hi Marco
I see some really nice products on your site, my favourite being the ruined house #2 from Arnhem. A great design and looks to build into a nice scene!
Some other nice products too including the road ways and Atlantic wall installations.
You should get a few photos up here to whet the appetites of potential customers mate.

I'm sure Jim's email is close (or the same) as my PM.

Nice looking products overall.

Very nice stuff. The pictures could be a lot larger though.

Thanks everyone for responding so positive...

I will do something about the size of the pictures…. I hope you mend the popup photo’s and NOT the thumbnails?

Hello Marcos, that's a very promising site, oddly enough though, buildings both new and old (model not actual) you'll basically pick up anywhere, so its got to be tough finding a market where you can sell cheep enough but keep qulity high, my pet hate at the moment is finding things like good looking grass, clumps of summer grass, good shubs, trees, even things like bricks, sandbags general rubbish that you actually need when building a dio and require back-filling - these are the things I am always searching for. 2nd, this has also been mentioned, more photo's (large or ablity of zooming in) people like seeing what they will or might buy, with me, if I can't see something I will NOT buy.

Marco, these look really good! I especially like the Oosterbeek buildings. The house ruin looks really good and would make an interesting piece in a diorama.

My Grandad fought at Oosterbeek, he had a gun position in the fields just in front of the Church. I have to say id love a model of the Church or ter Horsts house.

Hi Alec,

Thanks, don’t know exactly what you mean in the first part ???

“buildings both new and old (model not actual) you'll basically pick up anywhere, so it’s got to be tough finding a market where you can sell cheap enough but keep qulity high”

Where planning to make more things like grass, rubble e.g. and I’ve send a message to our web-person to adjust the size of the pictures..





p.s. Why does England call me marcos? Not that I mind, it’s just curios

Hi Rob,

Thanks.

We didn’t know exactly if modelers wanted to buy such big buildings. If there are any more out there who would like to see a 1:35 scale church, please let me know.
