I have some of Heiser's Models, and unless he's improved his process, Resin caste with lots of sanding an filling needed, then I wouldn't want them. But maybe a lot collectors have already purchased them.

If by HO you are talking true HO scale (1/87th) then Heiser's Models does an M24 Chaffee in that scale.

Also there are no HO scale M-24s made by anyone. If you could make an HO scale version, you would sell a lot of units. Advertise on HO scale collector sites

That is certainly very interesting to know...

Postive comments from another customer:

"Hi, the Chaffee tanks arrived today. Very impressive. I will gladly add them to my US Recon company. Thank you for the good work on these models. A good bargain for the money spent! Thanks again, best regards,... R.L.Brown

I've thought of a way that might overcome this. It is to break up the vehicles into parts and made it with different material....

Here is from another eBay customer:

"Detail is good, scale is very good. Compared to Dragon Cando, not as good a product, more expensive. Compared to Panzer Depot, not as good a product, but less expensive and a whole lot more durable. On the other hand, good to have someone do a Chaffee in a reasonable product. Keep working on those lesser known vehicles and you could have a good market.

Err... you mean NOT going to see the difference?

BTW, I might need to put a warning label on the product: "BEWARE: TEXTURED".

Got my 2 in today! I don't know what all the FUSS is all about. Yes up close its a wee bit rough, but on a wargame table 2 to 3 feet away are you going to see the different. Mine will go into the bait box till some later date that I'll take them out.

You must remember that its a new line and there will alway be bugs to be worked out

With me Ebay is Yes and NO. I have had a few screw ups ordering , but also I have had alot of good service from sellers. I have gotten some good deals and have also payed WAY too much on somethings, But it was something that I just HAD to have. I still have yet to sell on ebay.....

Ebay to me is not just a means of trading but also a place to announce new products. Ebay did bring it new customers but it seems that it is tightening control over putting externl links in the bidding pages. I don't expect business on eBay to be as much as before but would still use it as an announcement platform.

Ebay is like a dinosaur, going extinct. I would like to direct order from Shapeways, unpainted.

Since I use my mini's for wargaming rather than collecting I always try to get the most bang for my buck and am also willing to use non-standard mini's like Micromachines.
That said I look for deals (one of the main reasons I come to this board) such as the Monkey Depot blow out sales and the WTM Christmas sale.

I tried Evilbay once and got my identity ripped off (mainly my fault, but ebay's registration system is conducive to exactly the kind of scam I fell for)...

It seems that some of you do not like to trade on eBay. So where do you trade otherwise?
