New Conte GI's! Is it the end times?!??!
Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2006 3:19 pm
Went to my local hobby place to look at some new 1:18 stuff and to pick up the new 21CT 1:32 playsets -- the mortar pits and the listening post (all three are pretty amazing, though I passed on the American mortar set since it bears such similarity to things I already own -- I'll probably go back for it later)
But while I was there, I couldn't believe it -- the new Conte GI's were in stock! Tons and tons of unpainted plastic WWII goodness from Conte, as if he, you know, might actually release the things he's had on the website for a few years now (or at least, it seems like it's been that long)
Anyhoo, I only picked up one set, but I'm so amazed, I can see myself going back for more, and more, and more, and more. These are fantastic. I won't have time to paint them until long after the holidays, but man I can't wait. Even the BASES on these guys are spectacular.
