NEW PROJECTS
For the past few years a lot of thought has gone into bringing out a WWI vehicle in the 1:15th scale. A preliminary research on the basic measurements for 3 or 4 subjects has taken place and no final decision has been taken. Also, many questions are still unanswered in respect to casting techniques, amount of detail to be shown, or basically where to stop and will it be affordable.
Another new idea is the creation of a new 1:15th scale, 120mm French figure. The smaller 54mm Polui have always been popular and it would be pleasing to experience the same amount of positive feedback in this larger scale. Maybe one could combine the 2 new ideas...
