I agree completely with GeorgeDanielis. I wish Linear-A would reissue their old sets, but I don't see that happening, neither do I know if I would buy them, since i have enough already. The new prices are justified, I am sure, but, I wish for no more jumps in price.
Thank you Andreas, and the rest of the Linear-A staff, for the figures, they look amazing! They arrived this Friday! :)
... I even got a leftie
Some of the had some glossy spots. Like if you spilled some glue on them? Is this normal? Not that I mind, I am sure that it will disappear under paint ;)
Zitat von GeorgeDianelis im Beitrag #6For many years no manufacturer made a kit for the ancients in 1/72 scale. HOWEVER Linear-A filled this gap in the market with extremely high quality figures. I think that the figures were very high quality even before the use of 3D technology. Now Linear-A is definitely the leader in the field. The success of Linear-A is also our joy, because we are fans of ancient history.
I agree... I have two fears. First one is that I will not be able to paint them to the standard they deserve. Second one is that it might make me find the ones made before them very much lesser, and detract me from having to do with them.
I read that "Bucephalus was Alexander's horse and one of the most famous horses in world history. He was described as being black with a large white star on his forehead"
Love it! :) ... and I love the historical background presented.
One thing though, I recently read that Alexandre might not have been blond, but that the fresco you show is made some time later, and influenced by what others thought was beauty. Ethnically there is little reason to present him as blond. However it is very artistic and lives up to our expectations depicting him like this. But you are Greek, what do you think of this theory?
I just see an increase of 2 euro. But never mind the amount. It is getting up there where I don't like the price for a single set. I usually translate it into DKR (Danish Kroner) and when I do so, I get more than 100 kr, which is about what I am willing to pay. So I hope no more price increases. However from messaging with Linear-A I have understood that the standards in particular were tough to make, and many with the thinner pieces were not-usable. That is why the price increased. If this is a permanent thing, I don't know. I however understand it, for that set.
