Please include a pic of the unpainted model. The painted ones are great, but when camouflage is effective, it hides detail to inhibit vehicle identification. We can't really see the product clearly. Perhaps a black wash would pop the detail on an otherwise unpainted model.

How about two pics? One painted and one unpainted. Some of the listings already have more than one picture.

I would really like to see the infantry blisters with pictures of the figures still unpainted and on their sprues so I can see how many of each figure are in any given pack.
Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present.

I like the two picture format. Unpainted and then a painted model.

Also, if its not too much... can we fix/address the ability to create/edit/change signatures? Ive been trying to change the link on my pic for ever. I even have written a few emails...

Changing over a website is a lot of work though... more so if they are getting a new database/format. You have to export all of the tables (forums) and get those into a format that is recognized by the new setup. And then upload and hope! lol

I just want the website back so I can find out the contents of the new British Heavy Weapons pack that I've been asking for for 4 years.... <sigh>

Need to post a Master list or index so searching for particular items doesn’t require a bunch of page hops

Hi all :)
Very agree with Redleg : One painted and one unpainted will be great.
I think the principle of the two photos is very interesting because it allows you to see the model in raw version and to realize what it looks like when painted. It's true that when the model is painted correctly with the right camouflage, this can sometimes obscure certain details. Having to paint a vehicle that has always had several camouflage tones in one uniform color doesn't make this model realistic. Example : a Japanese tank painted in one color is not realistic, because they were all camouflaged. It gives less seriousness to the company for purists to have vehicles that are not painted the right color. When I go to a figurines site I like to see the figurines painted the way they were really in reality, it is prettier and above all more easily identifiable at first glance on the site. :) :wink:

A photo of the contents of the infantry pack is indeed very interesting too : a painted version as currently seen on the website (to clearly identify the characteristics and types of figurine) and a photo of the unpainted sprues.
:wink:
