First order en route from GHQ

GHQ seem by far, to be the best sculptors of anything 1:285....and CinC arent far behind.

Heroics and Ros....are passable...if all you want for your hobby is gaming, but they just arent well made enough for me. Quality snob I'm afraid, my wallet will suffer.
I won't even comment on scotia.

Right my initial plan is to start off with that favourite of all arenas; Normandy. I've always been more of a fan of the Wehrmacht, purely because technologically they were far ahead of the game. (Treadhead :D)

So I'm going to be building up some troops, initially to represent, every panzer division that was in normandy in the week/weeks following 6th June 1944.

i.e
Panzer Lehr
12th SS
2nd SS
21st panzer
101 schwere panzer
503 schwere panzer
and so on.

Oh and also 654 schwere panzer jager   mmmm jagd panthers.

But yes, my plan in the long run is to collect up 1:1 scale versions of each of these armoured regiments, vehicle for vehicle, all up in their correct unit markings. Should take me more than a year I think, but baby steps.

Initially I've put in an order for...

10 panzer IV H
5 Panthers
10 Tiger I E
5 Jagdpanthers
5 sdkfz 251/1
3 ostwind
2 wirbelwind
3 stug III
2 stuh 42

oh and a platoon of cromwells, just because I like them. I'll be posting up some in progress pics as I assemble/paint them up :)
