Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

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.

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!!

Those units look red on my computer. Are they red or brown?

you can see the italian dice in the back, and it’s more or less a color match.  if you have the dice, you can check for yourself.

If not, looking at my dice, it’s a sort of milk chocolate brown.

The photos look as though the white balance is off and they were taken under a typical incandescent light which always has a amber hue if you don’t account for it.

They definately look like they match the combat dice, and yes, Kcdzim is pretty accurate in the color description of those (Milk Chocolate, or MAYBE a bit darker).

It’s got to be the lighting, but also keep in mind that monitor/video card settings/quality can make a difference too so it’s hard to figure out what color something is online (without reference).
