Sorry for the very late comment, but I guess after all this time without responding, is the deal off then? I still want it. Thank you!

I figured that the Tiger was made using that process.

@coachofmany:
Moving to 3D modeling will help out a lot. After seeing the detail that can be achieved with the Tiger I from the German Expansion set, we knew we had to spend the extra money and do it. We will be able to control sizing, shape, and proportions so much better now. We only lack one model to have the second Japanese set ready for sculpting.
That is great to hear Coach. As a customer, I am honored that you guys at HBG desire to provide the best, highest quality product you can, even at a little extra cost. That is why I will continue to purchase from HBG. Excellent job all around.
Looking forward to Japanese Set 2. As always, well worth the wait.

Looking forward to Japanese Set 2. As always, well worth the wait.––I completely agree with LHoffman and I’m glad I can now Pre-Order some sets.
––Three more cheers for “General Doug of the Big Green H Division”, a.k.a. the “Coach”.
Hip, Hip, Hooraah!, Hip, Hip, Hooraah!, Hip, Hip, Hooraah!p.s.–Will there be very much delay between when the Japanese sets are released and when you make the units available for individual sale? I’d like to add some additional numbers of specific units to my sets.

Great news Coach can’t wait on these.

Just being curious here…
What is with the fascination with armored cars lol?Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the OOB units first(INF MECH ART ARM AAA FIG TAC STRAT SS DD CA CV BB TRN), in new sculpts and colors?
So we could add whole new nations while still using OOB rules
I would love to replace every France unit with unique sculpts,
And would love to have a complete Japan set in redPlus armored cars just seem silly to me “3rd armored car division is advancing on Keiv”
Coach if you secretly pleasure yourself to armored cars, it’s ok. Happens to the best of us. :lol:

Not everyone uses these pieces as simple replacements for the original pieces. Some folks use them for house rules or simple variety. Sometimes they are used for games other than A&A. IMO, the more variety, the better. The fact that some of the pieces have no equivalent in A&A does not bother me at all.

The plan has always been, and will continue to be (for the most part), expand the unit selection first. Then come back and make our own oob replacements. Although, we have made a few exceptions to this rule here and there, you will find we have a plan in place that will unfold as time and money allow. Our range of pieces and sets will be unparalleled.

And, to go one step further on the above, the new Japanese sets have a 4TH COLOR ADDED! Light orange gives you enough colors to do Japanese, Thai, Manchukuo units, and Veteran units, all in a unique color.
-
What’s that upside down carrier you’re hidin’ there?
-
Also, is there a way to add the light orange to an existing order? I already preordered a couple of sets and would like to add this color too.

Just place a new order. During checkout, use the notes section to request it be added to your previous pre-order and provide the order number.
-
Those colors look to me like Red (upper left), Brown (upper right), Pink (lower left) and Yellow (lower right).
The one in the upper right, is that supposed to be the burnt orange of OOB pieces? It looks way too dark to me. It looks brown, almost Italian brown. I hope you get that color right before production because I was really wanting to use your pieces with the OOB pieces.
Also, the one in the lower left, is that supposed to be light orange? Because it looks pink to me.

Your color perception might be off a little bit, because they are very close to what they are labeled as.

That is why we verify the colors in hand, pictures are deceiving when it comes to color on a computer screen.

Excellent!! Will do! And coach, thank you for providing such nice pieces!

Also, the carriers next to the OOB orange and OOB red are WOTC pieces for color verification. The other two are HBG colors.

Sorry all, I have the name of the 4th color wrong. It really is more of a rose color (pinkish), not orange. For those that bought our painted pieces back in the day, it matches the light rose of the old Thai pieces. Hope I didn’t cause too much confusion! We’ll get the name corrected to actual on the site soon.

Looked like Orange Creamsicle to me, but you have them in hand so I would defer.

I saw, that you guys have plans on shapeways for minor and major factories… look pretty sweet and those markers that came with 1940 really need replacement… are you also planning on producing and selling those “directly”?
(and how about air and naval bases?) :wink: -

So if I already placed my order when it still said “Light Orange”, when they come out I will still get the new rose color, right? Rose/pink is fine with me. I wasn’t that particular on what the new color was, I just wanted my sets in whatever new color you chose.
I guess what I’m asking is since my order said “Light Orange”, it won’t be cancelled will it?
