It’s not a big deal to me. I check in every day just to see if they’re up but I assume there is a decent reason why they are not.

If they are constantly late then I’d toss a hand grenade at them. It doesn’t seem that they are so we should let this roll off our collective backs.

By the way, I agree with the voting sticky comment - I really liked what happened last years (sans being accused of being an interloper from the ww2 ranks) - kinda bummed out they aren’t doing it again...

True to all. I normally am cool about it. Just bummed because I have been really really waiting out for these releases! :) I can manage, barely ;)

They're up now - mostly. It kinda looks like some of the pictures didn't work and there's a page error on one.

They may be having "technical difficulties" (as in "One Moment Please").

Would it really have been that big a deal for GHQ to post a message saying 'Sorry, the new releases will be a few days late'? Good for customer relations and we will forgive you!

Perhaps they will revert to reading what they choose when they choose rather than our job with all this grief. I would.

Type 96B turret is facing over the tear deck. Looks good.

There's no picture yet of the CAESAR artillery system (N614), so we don't know what version is being produced. My guess is that it is the version produced for the French military; unarmored cab on 6x6 Renault Sherpa 10 chassis.

Whichever it is, There are several other versions that could be produced by GHQ:
- On 6x6 Renault Sherpa 10 chassis with armored cab
- Export version on Unimog U2450L 6x6 chassis with unarmored cab
- Export version on Unimog U2450L 6x6 chassis with armored cab
- Export version on Tatra T-815 8x8 chassis with unarmored cab
- Export version on Tatra T-815 8x8 chassis with armored cab

Some similar vehicles from other countries:
- Russian A-222 (few built)
- Scandinavian Archer (FH77BW L52)
- Israeli ATMOS 2000
- Slovakian DANA (ShKH vz.77)
- Slovakian ZUZANA (development of DANA)
- Serbian Nora B-52

Lloyd carriers look good - especially with the personnel in them. As always it will be cool to see them once painted.

New Items/pictures

Post by intruder523 »

I love GHQ...been a long time customer. If I had the money back I've spent on my GHQ Jones over the years I could probably buy a new SUV. Size aside, GHQ is still a business providing a service to their customers. For me...it's pretty simple. I don't buy a product sight unseen. That's why I haven't placed my 11 item order for the April releases yet. I'm waiting to see what the Caesar gun system looks like.

Photos are now up for all the recent releases.
The CEAEAR model is the French 6x6 unarmoured version.
