Hi Mike,
German castings that I have seen in person, and in pics have generally been pretty smooth. In comparison to US and Russian casting I would say Russian is the roughest, the US stuff is smoother, and German casting is for the most part a little smoother than US. By the way, at our meeting at The Warroom a couple of weeks ago the owner told us he will be closing the Norcross location in late March, bad news. The good news (for you at least) he is looking for a new location farther north towards Duluth and the Lawrenceville area.

I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!

Hi woodstock German armour and its manufacturing processes were perhaps the most refined for thier time
generally steel armour plate as exihibted on the main hulls of most vehicles was pretty faultless and only exhibited rolling mill marks and pits slightly .
casting was also very refined
"Kelley" is right about it being quite smooth
it should be almost flush with only slight ripples (like exihibited on the rear deck of Tamiyas Tiger 1's )
i think dragons moulding on thier
E-100 could be left untouched

You're kidding? He does intend to reopen though? Closer to me would be better I must admit though my first concern would be confirming he isn't going under...that seems to be too common these days.

Oh yeah, he definitely will be reopening. He feels he needs to get closer to his customer base and that is a little further north than where it used to be. The only question now is just exactly where up that way he will go. He has already been checking out the Mall of Georgia area, it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
