Anders, try here: http://www.www-legend.co.kr/
Those are Legend Productions and they have some great looking figures... And some update sets for armor.. like that set for Vietnam M113 I'm looking to get for myself.. I think they also have engine decks for Abrams and M60...

Mario M.

Yes, great stuff. I actually put the engine in the Abrams that is in the article here. The M113 accressory set is on the M113 I have in the gallery. I also have the gun truck conversion I'm working right know and some other things. I guess its benifits of working at a hobby shop.

Hi Anders ! - Wow pretty nice figs and right here in the U.S.
I expected with the shop name of Red Lancers that it was going
to be somewhere across the pond in England. I was also checking-out
your gallery - PRETTY IMPRESSIVE !
Anders, have you ever done any ADV/Azimut Figures ?
I was on Great Models Web Site this morning, looking at there 1/35 fig sets.
They seem pretty well detailed, they must be resin.
I was thinking of ordering some for my next diorama of the U.S actions in
Achaen during W.W.II ( A battlfield of infantry & armor ) .
I'd like to get some reviews on the quality of these Azimut figs first.
ARE YOU GOING TO AMPS ? ( 21 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

Hola Ralph,

Thanks for your comments on my figures!!
Regarding ADV/AZIMUT I have a few of their figures, I dont like some of them and some of them are alright, its kind of a "hit 'n miss", just depends on what it is. Im sure their newer stuff are quite a bit better then the old stuff I have, so if you see something that intrests you I'd advice you to go ahead and try them. And yes, they are in resin. As for the AMPS show, I dont even know where it is at and besides that, this is the high season for my job (shoeing horses) so I need to rake in the winters model money!!
The red lancers have all kinds of figures from all time period, Im quite sure they are one of the biggest figure companies/retailers in the US, and they provide great service with exelent people working for them. I ordered some paint from them, and one bottle was wrong, I called them and they sent me the correct one and let me keep the other one!!
Just too bad I already had 3 bottles of that color!! Oh well can't always be so lucky

Pete, your M113 looks fantastic. Do all the accessories you have put on the M113 came from the Legend set or have you done something yourself? It seems you get a lot of stuff in the Legend accessory set... BTW, have you tried their figures?

Speaking of new companies, has anyone heard of " Calibre 35 " ? I saw a small list of their " April" products in Military Modelling under the LSA Models Mail order ad.

I've never heard of them, and after a web search for them I came up with nothing. Any others hear of em?

I answered my own question. If anyone here is a fan of German armor I would definetly check this out...especially if you have or are planning to get the FAMO!!!



Here's a review from this new company!! Looks PDG to me!
Has me rethinking that only OD green thing...not!

Maki,
No, it was a combination of the Verlinden Veitnam set and the Legends set. The cooliest thing about the legends set is, that it came with molded sandbages for the floor. The ammo belts came from Legends too. Oh, also the helmets with liners too. Between the Verlinden set and the Legend set, you have enoughstuff to do at least 2 or 3 vehicles.
I have the 3 piece infantry guys jumping out of the chopper. They are well done.
By the way, Squadron also carries Legend Productions too.

Pete, I thought you made the sandbags... Looks really good, one of the best Nam M113 I've seen. The ammo belts are PE?

Mario M.

Kencelot, I found Calibre35's website:

A truely wonderful find M1, thanks. You're hired!
Can't wait to see their rendition of the M31 conversion!

I'm very curious as to what their prices will be.

Me too, they have some interesting new products there.

Maki,
Actually, the ammo belts are resin too. Lightly heated and formed into shape. Takes lots of practice.

Here is a review of Calibre35's Sd.Kfz.9/1 6t Crane Conversion.
