Not to mention the Hind build

Over 10 items , almost one a month !!!

Hopefully we will do better next year .

I have already been planning the builds with more of a lean toward aircraft for the year 2016

2016

I have to agree with you Matthew, its been a good year in the XD world. I would even say Great!
I've got your Jagdtiger, Jagdpanther and 251 kits, I just need to finish them....

You've done a hell of a job keeping the XD collectors supplied!!!!
Great stuff Pickel....keep it coming and thanks for making it for us!

Oh I see you've got a Natter on the "Strong possibly" list....that would be very cool.

If you decide to revive the Jagdtiger let me know. I totally missed the boat on that one.

Keep up the good work.

I am still moving the Tiger II and Jagdtiger .

The molds are still holding up.

Pickelhaube, as anyone done a STURMTIGER YET!? If not, would you be interested in that beast in 2016!? The 380mm cannon on that thing is awesome looking!

I can't figure out how to link the picture here, so I am just putting in this link. If someone can explain how to do it, I would appreciate it.

Back in the day a board member Gary 1930 did the SturmTiger so there was not a lot of interest .

He passed away this year .

Shomare you have been the only collector who has voiced an interest in the Sturm in many years. If there is interest I would surely make my own rendition.

I have added the Hetzer to my list . I feel that this has got to be built as well.

Matthew I am in for a Sturmtiger as well.

[Shomare]

Wow, I am sorry to hear he passed, that is always a bummer.

Put me down for the Hetzer as well, that is really cool with that big circle thing on the side. Never seen one before. But the Sturm is #1 for me!

Any chance you could link to what you're talking about, shomare? Not sure what you mean by "big circle thing" as the Hetzer - or Jagdpanzer 38(t) - has flat, sloped sides.

At first glance I didn't realize what it was, and I was looking pretty fast. I see now it is a wheel! I originally saw the lamo video game thing below, but I found another, see second link!

This is the real thing it seems, and quite cool!
