Lets start this update with a big Thank you to all who visit this site!!!!!! Last month I had 9,361 visitors with 1212 unique visitors. This month is half over and I have had 22,422 with 1,154 unique visitors according to my C-Panel. WOW!!!!! HOT DAMN and THANK YOU BIG TIME! People ask me weekly how many people do I have as a staff. When I reply just me...They raise a eye brow and then the ask if I have a life. You see.. I build and maintain this web site, the store, the members area, order products, sell the products, package & ship to customers. Answer  120+ email daily, answer 20-40 calls daily, surf the web sites for updates and the list goes on. Yes I average 12-16 hours daily working on the ebay store and the above  I have just mentioned. But when I see what my C-Panel says and shows 80 percent bookmarks from all who visit. It just means I am doing something worth while and makes me feel good. So again Thank you!

I was burnt for awhile, so I backed off for a few weeks to work on pictures and models. But now I am back in full force again and hitting alot of areas that had to be put on hold.  Lets start with the announcement of working on a new line from ATAK, look for a full line from Echlon & Tasca. including more Adlers Nest and Shinsengumi.

We are working on getting a full line of Hulls,Turrets, Interior Detail and Engines in the door in the up coming months. We found a new Asian dealer who has agreed to sell us Voyager at a good price So we will be putting in a large order for Voyager as well as Aber. Bringing both lines on by the holidays is our goal.

I have to say something before I go any further.
TERRY ASHLEY -GET WELL AND HEAL FAST!
We need  you back on the front line A.S.A.P!

Looks like my lil comment on China and problems
with a couple of modeling dealers last month brought tons of email asking me further details. Thank you for your support. A few rotten eggs in da bunch, but over all alot of people who supported and agreed with me.

Alot of kits released or about to be released since my last post. Lets get the Tigers out of the way. While we do have reviews of Tigers from most major vendors. I will have to say my over all kits are the Dragon 6252 and the 6253. Nothing can touch'em not even the DAK from Cyber Hobby. Why am I saying this. Because AFV is releasing a Tiger Early and Dragon is about to release a Tiger Late w/Zimmerit, and from what I have seen and heard my feelings still stand that the 2 mentioned kits above are the best to date. Just my opinion.

 I saw first hand the Academy kit M7 Priest. I am hoping they held it back from its original release date to fix a major problem which was the track, boggies,suspension system. Over all a nice kit and something new to build. That brings us to BRONCO who just released the Staghound Mk 1 Late. Another long over due kit released. Trumpeter just released 2 Paper Panzers. The German Grille II 17cm & E-25 T.D.
Tristar is releasing a kit I have been licking my chops for...for a long long time. The German Gepard.Flakpanzer 38(t). Tasca released the M4A1 Mid Prod  Oct 22 . AFV Club released the 251/17 Command version while Cyber Hobby released a awsome Ferdinand. Dragon and cyber hobby released the 38(t) varient 7.5cm  and the Heuschrecke "Grasshopper" 10.5cm.
No rumors of whats around the corner for X-MAS this year so far. I am hoping to hear something soon.

Holidays are here folks and I have to say its not the D.U.I's I am worried about this year. Please be carefull.
Phone and text messageing while driving dont mix.

To all those who are overseas serving:
My thoughts and wishes are hoping that you get a chance to come home for the Holidays. Thank you for what you are doing.
