Small Scale Military Headquarters

Happy 4th of July to you guys !!!

I think it is time to start this poll. When done there will be a run off. I have listend to you guys and this will be built. Things may be different on this build. Which ever one wins I may have to take deposits before it it started.

Kind of a presale deal. If at any time you guys want to pull out. Your money will be safe and I will pay-pal it back to you. LESS THE PAY-PAL FEES.

So here goes. This is a peoples choice the winner will be built.

T-34
Hetzer
Sdkfz 7
Sdkfz 250 I will do the ammo carrior. That is the one with the hatchback look to it. Very cool looking. All tank batalions used them.

I would love to have a T-34, but $300 will be out of my price range.

I hear you my XD brother.

But there has only been 1 other piece Of Russian armor made . It originally sold for $350 and went down to $300. I have heard that there was 300 kits made and have all sold out. Of course it has been out for a number of years.

Each one of these will take at least 3 weeks to make the prototype. There will be about $30-$40 of resin to pour each one.

My eastimated cost of RTV will be about $450-$550 to make the molds. That is each subject.

It will take well over a day to pour one unit .

I do not think that any of these have been done in 1/16. Maybe I remmber another guy who has made a Hetzer. But if I am not mistaken he is way higher than the $300.

But you guys have heard this before.

$300 is a car note. But I do lay-aways so it is not as hard on the wallet. I would say about 1/3 of the guys who get these things pay that way and it is fine with me

for 5 years i met with the 21c guys in Chicago at the Ihobby show and they would ask what should we do? i would say T-34! in 1/18 & 1/32

T-34 is a winner

boy, that sure worked well.

For my 2 cents -

Most of PH's potential customers cannot afford the prices quoted.

I would suggest PH stick to the variations of Sherman, Tiger, Panther, even the M-48. Adding a new upper hull to the existing lower hull and tracks. That would keep the price under $200.

TTT

T-34

U think?
it shows what they thought of retailer input since i was one of many that would make that request

although we did ask for a 1/32 spit and they did that?

I'm gonna have to do the Pickle lay away plan on this one, gotta have rooskie armor!!

MK III Centurion

Ah, crap the Hetzer is in 3rd.......

Whats Next there will be no Pickelhaube Me-163....? .................. oh I forgot...it is true...

Ok the T-34 is cool and 1:18th community need's one, just as long as we get a Hetzer. Oh and a 163.................

I wanted to vote for a clipped wing MK. V Spitfire but I couldn't find it anywhere on the list.

It sure is close. I was personally hoping for the Hetzer.

But the 250 is cool as well

I was geared up to do the 163 but the bird on the wall told me not to do it.

A 163 will be built. So I took his/her advice and shelved the idea. Making a custom and having the big guys make it would be devastating.

It looks like the T-34 is ahead of the game.I will give this a a few more days and make the second poll for the runners up.

the hetzer would be sweet

I look forward to any of these being made,but my vote is for the T 34 .

i think the t 34 is the most needed being someone on the outside looking in on the WWII side.

my side sux modern needs everything...

It looks like there are 2 stand outs.

So I think there is no need to exstend this poll any longer.

So I will start the run off.

Not really for me,but I would vote T-34.
