Subject: Mongol Jagun (Company) Has Arrived!
Just a few words of praise for Mel at Force XXI Miniatures. I've heard a few bad comments here about his stuff and thought you all "Might" like to hear what I think of them, having just received a large order. My order form ForceXXI came today..... The stuff looks beautiful. The Grav tanks with the round turret are just what I wanted. (this was a special order on the turret) Looks very Sino-Russian just the look I wanted for my Mongol bake away state. These puppies are big, love um! The Grav tank (GR010) is the same scale and size as my ROCO made M1A1 tanks and will fit in perfectly with the rest of my collection. I will be doing a little modification to a few of the vehicles I ordered like putting dome BMP style turrets on the Grav MICVs (GR001) and plating in the top of the GEV Recovery Vehicle (SF551) adding a commanders hatch etc.and changing the turret on the GEV Dozer w/ Demolition Cannon (might use one from an AMX 30 as they look Russian to me) Also will mount the dozer forward. I am also scratch building/modifying a few vehicles to flesh out this MTO. Making a few PT76 style GRAV vehicles for the scout platoon and a GAZ Grav jeep for the commander. Will also be looking into doing up a SP Artillery piece and Ammo carrier. All in all very well done by Mel. The castings as usual are very crisp and clean and the extra stowage is excellent! Mel does a fine job and super quick on his shipment. http://www.midiowa.com/colsten/
