Nice, question- whats with all the options on color? like the Goliath there is an option to buy it "sandstone" for only $7 is the only difference the color??

I need to remove the sandstone option as I don't think it will work with items that have a lot of detail. That and it's really gritty.

The main two materials are "White strong and flexible" which is exactly how it sounds and is what everything I post is made of so you should use that. The colors are from a dye that they put into the material. Normally white is the least expensive and the best option, though for the Goliath black might be better so you only have to paint the body not the tracks.

The other material is "detail and ultra detail". These are again exactly how they sound and are not as flexible. I can't really notice the difference and it's more expensive so I just use WSF.

That is awesome, you are the master of filling in all the small details our WW2 Armies need.

The bicycle is great as it was used allot all over both fronts so its a very safe item to include in almost every diorama

It will probably work good with the Indiana Jones motorcycle driver.
This bicycle because it is small and quiet,probably made a good reconnaissance vehicle. Also it is stealth because from far it looks like a regular pedestrian. Not to mention with the gas shortage it even made it more practical.

Based on feedback, it sounds like a version of the bicycle without the Panzerfausts might be of interest? This would shave the cost by about a third and save you from clipping the Panzerfausts off if you were going for the standard scout bike look. Is this something that would be of interest?

Yes, Yes, Yes! I thought the same thing when I saw it, the panzerfaust limits it to the end of the war for placement in a diorama, plus like many of you I have lots of Dragon panzerfausts that have all the great detailed instructions imprinted on them for extra awesome detail and if I wanted to do a late war one I would attach it.

i'm all for it!

The version without the panzerfausts is done and I'm waiting on one to arrive in person to make sure it's ok before posting the link.
