Hey there ....
Just received the Dragon CyberHobby 60204 King Tiger 'Normandy' diorama this morning - pleasantly surprised.
Admittedly, I would have been more impressed if the King Tiger was not a 're-use', but the diorama base (street) is the
heavier poly-resin type base used with the Sturmtigers amd the building and painted American GI are nicely done.
If anyone wants pictures, let me know and I'll send as appropriate. I can also send to have someone post on the forum if appropriate.
Regards.

Just got mine too!
It does look really nice, the base is very nicely detailed. I have thought about switching out another tank. I wish they would offer a jagdpanther or one of the upcoming tanks in a diorama. A Stug or Hummel would be cool.

I would imagine that the sales must be lower for these items, because they used a previous released tank. I know I don't buy them for this reason, and that they do take up a bit more space.
Does anyone have any numbers, ratios, or thoughts on the sales of WW2 stuff vs modern stuff ? Was just wondering if there was gap and if there is how much of a gap. A few of my friends are developing a war game and the discussion and poll seemed to favor WW2, but they decided to go modern to try and get new people interested and give war gamers something other than WW2.

I can't give you specific numbers, but can tell you what I've seen from attending the 3 largest wargaming shows in the US each year. WWII is very popular, one of the more popular eras of history wargamed. Modern wargames are certainly there, but from what I've seen there are usually only a fraction of modern games compared to WWII games being played which are very popular. Also, most gamers consider 1:72 to be 20mm (in the same class as 1:76 scale) and is just one of many scales used in both WWII and modern wargaming. 15mm and 28mm are two other popular scales used.JJVan wrote: Does anyone have any numbers, ratios, or thoughts on the sales of WW2 stuff vs modern stuff ?
