Morning all,
Just thought I'd say hello.
Some of you will hopefully be familiar with some of my stuff sold by Empress Miniatures Smile

My current list with Empress is:
Cadillac Gage Commando, M50 Ontos, M48 Patton, M274 Mule, M422 Mite, M151 Mutt, PT76, T54/55, PBR, M76 Otter, Centurion

Soon to add Landrovers and Chieftain plus loads more planned!

If you have any comments about them, good or bad, please let me know - feedback can be hard to get!

You'll get nothing but praise from me if you keep up the quality of your work!

I'm desperately waiting for Empress to restock your Centurion. It looks like a mean beast, and is probably my favourite post-war piece of armour.

Thanks! I do my best but we are all still learning of the limits of what we can do. Some bits print well but are hard to cast which can cause problems. The centurion tracks too about a dozen goes to get right...

I don't think they were expecting the rush and demand massively outstripped supply! Might take a while to get a restock sadly but that's not my dept!

Rich, you should post some pics here of your Nam stuff. I'm pretty impressed with your MUTT!

These are mostly pre-production prints with minor problems that then get fixed. I never remember to get pics of the final versions... confused

Couple of things currently WIP

There is no other logical explanation for starting to draw a MAZ537 in 1:50. The trailer will be HUGEMONGUS and need to be printed in chunks.... Might (who am I kidding - I will) be doing a SCUD B at some point... that is massive too...

Rich... I would love to see the M551 Sheridan, M42 Dusters and M41 Walker Bulldogs at some point, looking forward to the Mule and the jeeps.

Duster is definitely on the list, bulldog is a similar chassis too. Sheridan is some way down the priorities though!

Still chugging through the chieftain and landys, would have finished the landys but didn't put enough resin in the printer... So I've got half a landy chassis which after 8 hours of printing is a bit annoying!
