Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

OH MAN!  I love that the 2nd Infantry has a MP40.  What happened to the heavy coat on the 1st Infantry?

So the 2 tanks sculpts are Tiger I and Tiger II?  No Panzer III?  Aw shucks.  THey still look fabulous.

I’m surprised you went with the Stuka and Me109 (since WOTC went with those models).  Still, YOUR Me109 looks incredible.  The current ones will look like blank generic planes next to them.  Love the Ju52.  Can we get a better look at the bomber and tac?

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Bismarck and Graf Spee.

MORE, MORE!!  I WANT MORRRRE!!!

Awesome! I buy 2 sets of Germans! Black and grey German are available in the same time?

Thank you FMG; absolutely love all the new Germany pics. I too am surprised there is no PzKpfw III, but there you go.

The only thing I would mention at this point is that I think it would look much cooler if the JU87 Stuka had some landing gear, just to really make it stand out on the map. Even just partial struts would be fine. As it is now, the plane looks like it’s flat on the ground, and that doesn’t quite look so iconic.

If it’s too late to change this then no worries. Lovely work, keep it up! Thank you.

Oooh, nice!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.  The Stuka HAS to have landing struts.  The landing gear on the Stuka were fixed, not retractable.  It won’t quite look right without them.  I hope you can fix that.  It’s a minor error, but an error none the less.

The black Germans won’t be available until all the other major nations are complete.  Then they will work on “specialty” units.  I believe the black German pieces will be considered SS units while the grey are regular Wehrmacht.

No PZIII? Hmm….

There are some revisions to these, re Stuka etc…

If they are in the back ground in means that they need revision.

More Naval Units

More detail of Land units

Additional detail of Land units

Is it because the mold is top bottom release (rather than OOB’s mould’s side release with visible seam along center line) that the superstructure is so stripped of detail?  There’s obviously sharper detail for guns and whatnot, but I had kinda hoped for more detail on the tower.  Obviously, if the mold release requires all vertical protrusions to be smooth, those are the breaks, but still. bummer.  I prefer superstructure to gun barrels (side release to top release)

Is that a King Tiger in the background? I cant quite make that out. You said if its in the background that it needs revision. What exactly does that mean for that particular tank?

yes. they do have a king tiger!

specking of this, are the tiger 1 and 2 the same size?  is that why its up for revision?  if not what is the reason.

They made it just a bit to small.  I wanted it slightly larger as it was a HUGE monster of a tank in real life.

do you get to keep the uncoloured ones?
and if you do can i buy them off you?

Oh Hell Yeah!

I’m so impressed!  Beyond my expectations!

Great job you guys….great job!
