I can help out with development, if there is interest. Let's gather features/issues list. Might be a good idea to create a new development branch going forward. Alex

New release from CombatBrick : "Sniper Rifles". Available in Black : and Dark Tan: Available at www.CombatBrick.com

Thank you for your comment Wardancer. You shall not covet you fellow LEGO customizer machine guns ... Some vendors focus on MW cause that's what the general public seem to be interested in. I work with WW2-MW cause that's the historory period that interests me. Not much into swords or Sci-Fi. However, I honestly thought that between BF, BW and MC you guys have plenty of choices, no? I will look into converting pictures in-color to black-and-white graphics. Thanks again.

about 40% are flipped, didn't want to brasso them out

I have them on my desk for me to marvel any time I am working.

Darn, I think you just might be right. I thought the head and hands are missing but BL proved me wrong. Thanks! Thanks.

Well, that's right up my alley, since that's my favorite topic: WWII British S.A.S. Jeep WWII US Army Jeep Humvee (HMMWV) in woodland camo: Soviet MBT T-72: Cougar MRAP: US Army Sikorsky UH-60 Helicopter: WWII Germans: Juggernaut : Modern Warfare 3 (VG) US Army Javeline operator:

Hello there, The Soviet Tank used as an example is actually my creation and perhaps I can shed some light what happens behind the scenes. You can see the price if you click on the image posted and it might seem a bit steep, but here is how it works: 1. Parts: Just the parts (nothing else), just the parts cost is a $$$ - a three digit number. Might be hard to believe but Dk. Green stuff is expensive. 2. S&H: is certainly another factor as I pay for numerous BL orders to get the items shipped to me. Kit's buyer would be a one time S&H price on the other hand. 3. Design: well, it took me months to work out every single detail and that darn turret was a witch to complete. That is obviously time invested. 4. Instructions: It takes a loooong time to create meaningful instructions as they have to be checked and re-checked and checked again. It's 80 pages of dense step-by-step instructions. Again time invested is high. 5. Assembly: never thought of it but pulling together hundreds and hundreds of parts is very time consuming. For example there 68 links on each side, it has to be counted manually of course for each kit. Again, time. So to summarize, there is a lot money and time spend creating each kit. Is it worth it? Well, for me money-wise it's not, and it's mostly pride of creating a fairly complex and fun set that I want to share with others. There are some companies that might be thriving but I suspect that small sets have a much higher margin and are real moneymakers. Regards, Alex
