Thanks!

Having seen the Kharkov figures, that's a nice set and it's good to see them all packaged together - albeit limited to 200 sets.

The new Panzer crew look interesting. Figure 1 appears to be wearing some sort of leather coveralls? I'm familiar with the U-boat leathers, but not these. Got me curious now, can't wait to get home to do some reading

Good to see a Panzer crewman (2) with his tunic fully buttoned for a change.

The one piece inspired from a photo the sculptor Kistian Bodi showed me in this thread over on planetfigure about these figures. Post number 17.

That's awesome - thanks Alan! Nice catch of an uncommon (?) item of clothing by the sculptor. Defo going to read up on this

Gotta love Krisztián's comment about the "pear shape"

Hi Rudi

Yes I'm really glad he took my remarks in the way I hoped, as a observation rather than a criticism, he is after all an excellent sculptor.

Golden times, so many fine figures coming out these days, its a shame I can't paint any of them properly

Alan

LOL! I know what you mean - if only I could find the time to practice painting so as to improve...

"This set is only available in a limited quantity of 200 units, so if you like the look of them order quick before they are gone. Each box is individually numbered, autographed, and stamped to guarantee its authenticity".


Translation: "Buy the limited edition to keep (and maybe flog off at a profit to some mad collector on feeBay in 10 years' time) and also buy the regular releases to build"

This is the actual LW leather coverall that the tank crew is
wearing in the photo:

As for the "The Battle of Kharkov" set, Yes, it is intended for
collectors. I had the stamp custom-made from Korea in jade.
FYI, the first 40 sets (#1-40) are stamped with traditional stamp
ink from Korea, and the ink didn't dry up completely. It might
smudge off when the plastic seal is off and touched. The rest
should be fine.

I'd like to thank you all for the support. I hope to release 10th
anniversary... Wittmann set? BoB set??
