Hi
da freue ich mich schin drauf

Great! Heavy artillery!
Can this huge device fit into a mini-set format?

Hallo,

Will you also make crew men for the ballista?

hallo
ja wollte dies auch noch fragen
wieviel modelle werde es pro packung
und werde dazu mannschaf figuren mitgeliefert
oder werden diese seperat im anderen set geliefert

I can see both good arguments for making it with crew and crew as a separate box.

With would give you a product you can use right out of the box. As a separate box would allow for purchasing them to use for other pieces of artillery that could have been picked up for this era.

Prima, mal so eine richtig große Ballista! Wird die ungefähr so groß, wie die beiden - irgendwie lustig aussehenden - Fachkräfte auf dem Bild andeuten?

Hello, this is my first post and am looking forward to this set, sort of a teaser! I do hope it has a small crew to go with it, good crew are so hard to find and really complete the set. (especially to match the rest of my Linear-A collection)


One thing I notices and maybe I am incorrect here but the ropes to cause the tension look like they have not been twisted to give the proper tension, since the ropes are all aligned vertically. This would not prevent me from ordering this however.


p.s. is there a function to translate this forum? Thank you, and thank you for producing some of my favorite ancient 1/72 sets!

I don't think there is a translation function. It would be nice though :)

Dear 'Howlin',

Translation is available through the browser. I click on the address bar and am able to select to translate to English. It does not work for all pages. (It seems not to sometimes if I have ctrl-clicked to open them as separate tabs).

If you do not see it in your browser, check you settings/preferences. It may be an extension that you need to install.

Regards, James

hey you know what! I got it translated through google translate, can type in a website and it will do everything! this is really great!

How is the progress with this set? has there been any though to making the ropes look more twisted? or would it have been such straight bands? thank you
Wie ist der Fortschritt mit diesem Set? Gab es irgendetwas, um die Seile verdrehter aussehen zu lassen? Oder wären es so geradlinige Bands gewesen? Vielen Dank

That is marvellous news Andreas!

The imminent release of #031 to be followed by #036, #038 and #050. Then the focus will shift to #027, #046—I am particularly excited to see that the Napoleonic surprise set is scheduled to come to fruition!

I will wait for developments in all six of these sets in time.

Regards, James

Ah well thank you, I look forward to what you produce, though sad as it may be to see some of it stalled. Ancient artillery sets are scarce. Lots of surprises coming up soon though! Not only the Egyptian Surprise, but we have also seen very little of the Persian Cavalry, and wonder when we will get to see some more of that set. Thank you. It is nice to see the process.

Ah nun, danke, ich freue mich auf das, was Sie produzieren, obwohl es traurig sein mag, etwas davon ins Stocken zu bringen. Alte Artillerie-Sets sind rar. Viele Überraschungen kommen jedoch bald! Nicht nur die ägyptische Überraschung, sondern wir haben auch sehr wenig von der persischen Kavallerie gesehen und fragen uns, wann wir mehr von diesem Set sehen werden. Vielen Dank. Es ist schön, den Prozess zu sehen.

Andreas, I have a question.
When you indicate that you are working on the delivery of the 4 new sets, and you reflect number 50 (ptolemaic phalanx) among them, is it an error? Do you really want to indicate the number 51 (Syracuyse infantry)?

Or is your intention really to put both up for sale?

Ok Andreas.

Can you tell us something about the releasind date of this semi-surprise set 050???

Thanks in advances.

Best Regards.
