This is the best news Jeff. Your SW arms are proudly carried by most of my space characters. Upcoming projects might make your WWII line not only desired, but positively necessary! For any of those out there personally unfamilar with Jeff's (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Many of us already gushed at length about these designs when you first posted them, especially with a whole forum devoted to them (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

These are awesome Jeff! I'll definitely be buying them in mass quanitities for my custom WW2 kits and of course my own models (I hope you're able to swing a bulk discount!).

I love it. Only when I post a negative message, do I suddenly get some interest. That's just too funny. Anyway, now that my little response expirement is done, on to the good stuff.

Don't get upset Jeff. You really didn't ask if people would be willing to buy these weapons, nor did you ask for any kind of feed back. If you want to conduct some real market research, then maybe you should give price ranges and availability, then (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Well, with the overwhelming response of 1 person, I don't think I'm going to bother making these. Why should I spend thousands of dollars on injection-molds if there is no market? I guess all of the Nazi-purists don't want any (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)
