That’s great news!!! I can hardly wait!!!

Richard,

––Again, nice paintjobs!

----If you don’t mind me  asking, were these units made using (FUD) frosted ultra detail plastic?

Tall Paul

I believe I did.  I should of spent a little more to get a smooth finish.  These will do, but going forward I will spend the money and get what is a nicer finish.
**––Yep,…it sounds like we both agree that spending the extra bucks to have units produced in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL (FUD) plastic is EXTREMELY WORTH the additional cost,…not to mention the end result looks SOO much better than the rough surfaces of lesser materials.
----And BTW, your paint jobs are great!.

Thanks for the compliments

I know a producer in Germany, who could deliver a mixture of white dashed and continous lines decals (s. picture). One decal consists of 23 white lines, each of 125 mm length and 0,75mm width, where each decal is EUR 3,50. A direct shipping from the producer to the U.S. would be very expensive, it is about EUR 35,-. If you are interested in, I can order the decals and send it to you personally. This will cause shipping costs of roundabout EUR 10 (depending on the weight…).

The decal is a digital print, that is, you have to cut out the lines. More pleasant would be a screen print, then each line is spearated from the others as a distinct decal in the printing process.

The producer also offers an individual development of decals, but I don’t know how much this is in EUR or $. If you are interested in I will ask.

Wow!  Such cool pieces! (Been awhile Paul)  And there’s others I’ve yet to see that are posted -

“YG”,

@Young:

AWESOME!

––I totally agree with your opinion of “Allworkandnoclay’s” painting talent.
----I’m sure you’d enjoy “SgtWilTan’s” thread about detailing units as well as “LHoffman’s” thread about painting them. They’re both really talented guys!
––In order for you to see all of the new units when they’re completed you might also want to stay tuned to my main thread because Sgt. Wil Tan has already detailed many new units that Lucas Hoffman will have painted before much longer. And I’m glad you enjoyed the “hoard”.

@elrojo33:

That would be my answer. Anyway, I’ll keep an eye out. If I come across some I will let you know.
Happy hunting.

Thanks much.

Guys,

@coachofmany:

**––I’m glad you enjoyed them. Lord knows I CERTAINLY ENJOY HBG’S PRODUCTS!

Those tanks are some of the best AA pieces I’ve ever seen! I really like the extra details added and especially like the matt finish.
