FMG and Coach, just do your best. No One Company or Individual in the past 20 or so years has attempted to do what you are doing for our games. If people do not like what you produce than maybe they need to buy GHQ, Herocis and Ross, NAVWAR and DAVCO SYKTREX Ships, planes, tanks on so on. You should not take any FLAK from pontential purchasers on your projected and forth coming products. I do like being asked my opinion on what I would like to see produced, but I know I am not the one producing the molds or laying down the cash to getem done. Personally I really appreciate the effort, time and money you are investing in this and I will be purchasing what ever products you both produce so I have a greater AA Force pool to game with. Keep up the excellent work. I want to to remind everyone, that anything worth having takes time and a lot of energy and money to produce. So in the end lets all support these gentlemen who have stepped up to the plate to give us the option of owning some excellent units that are more realistic than the AA OOB units to game with. :-D :-D :-D :-D
Ditto for me.
I recommend followers of this project tune in tomorrow morning.
Humm I’m guessing we are going to get some news …
Thanks Doug.
We are doing two different sets, using two different factories… it would be impossible to match 100%. Our “aim” is to make products that can be used together.
Having dealt with plastics in the past I can back up FMGs claim. Even if you both uses the exact same color Pantone codes, the colors still might be different if you are using different kind of plastics. You might get lucky if the guy who mixes the color at the factory really knows his job. Otherwise you would have to use the exact same pantone color codes and the same plastic from the same manufacture to get a perfect match.
Today the first ACTUAL SET arrived in my office from the factory. I have given final approval and production has begun. We are now looking at weeks, rather than months for the release of COMBAT UNITS ITALY
Enjoy these few pictures I took this evening.

No my good man. We thank you!
Good job FMG, I feel the pain you went through to get these pieces.
I am looking forward to the pieces!!!
Thank you all for your support and your patience.
No my good man. We thank you!
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks.
FMG those are amazing, and I already checked out the first USA sculps you made and they look very interesting
They look great! I look forward to seeing them in person, and I can’t wait to see the Germans in all their “grey” glory.
Great. Ready to order a couple of sets.
When ? ( soon I hope )

Hey Jeremy,
Man, the new pieces look gorgeous. I am just drooling looking at them. Almost shorted out my keyboard, ha ha.
The color looks fantastic. Compared to the Italy Combat Dice you can see in the background, it looks like you matched that color perfectly. I do have a question regarding the finished pieces you showed us on May 20. These newer pieces actually look a bit lighter in shade than the ones you showed us before. Those looked like a really dark brown. Is this due to a different type of plastic used for the newer pieces? Or is it just because you took these pics of the pieces on the map while the first pic was just on a white surface? Just curious is all.
FMG, really great looking Italians, Question which large aircraft is the bomber versus transport? I am not to familar with Italian Aircraft.

The transport plane would be the one that’s boxier looking.
Nice indeed!!
