A few years ago I received a leaflet from Jim Shirley Productions with some 1/16 vehicles.
I was wondering if those vehicles (Humvee and Ambrams for example) are still available ? I sure hope so !

I recall seeing advertisements in the back pages of various modeling magazines for the company. I thought that such a scale would have been impossible to afford, personally. I have not heard of the company itself lately, but "Jim Shirley Productions" is used as a term of reference regarding the large resin kits.

I thought that I had heard quite awhile back that JSP had gotten out of the armor biz and now does warships only.

I could be wrong tho... the mind is the first thing to go... #:-)

I was once approached to build up one of their Abrams for advertising/photography - but I never heard anything from them after the initial contact. I never saw the actual product anywhere either...

I had heard it was impressive, but alas, I never saw it in the raw...
