Adrienne Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi My name is Adrienne and I am the Product Manager at Oxford Diecast. Previously I worked at Corgi for around 20 years. I have joined the site so that I can browse the images and look for information to assist me in gathering reference for our recently launched military model collection.

N.O.S. Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Welcome Adrienne. What's all this about a forthcoming range of diecast HMVF characters? I saw Tony B sitting for a sculptor the other week in the Clubhouse and wondered what was going on. Shades of Saki's The Toys Of Peace - oh gawd :shake: Edited July 27, 2012 by N.O.S. wrong author!!!

rog8811 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Welcome in, just be careful where you leave any of your vehicles in the club car park.... you should be safe under the wheelie bins;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I've bought Oxford stuff before in 1/148 scale for use on model railway commissions I've built. Are there any plans to release the military models at this smaller scale in addition to 1/76? Here's some of the 1/148 vehicles I've used. Lovely little models, and would have thought that in 1/148, the military would be popular with the 10 & 12mm wargamers.

Shades of Saki's The Toys Of Peace - oh gawd :shake: Welcome in Adrienne, as for the allegation I was posing, no I always appear that still when I'm working! As for modelas the world is crying out for some decent die cast Dodges and Austin Gipsys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Garrison Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Welcome.. Hope you are ready for a barrage of work related questions.. We are slowly getting the new military vehicles filtering into New Zealand and since we are a sales outlet i am collecting them as they come in. Would be great if you could harrass them into building a MB or GPW jeep. I have already mentioned it to them and are aware that most of the range is of British/Euro design, but since the large amount of these being used by everyone it would be a great asset to the catalogue. Not to mention the lack of decent scale jeeps around. Look forward to working with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Welcome in Adrienne, as for the allegation I was posing, no I always appear that still when I'm working! As for modelas the world is crying out for some decent die cast Dodges and Austin Gipsys. Welcome--- you might recognise my name- On request of Ron H I provided dimensions and pictures of my Coventry Climax trailer pump. The finish product is great . Now Austin Gipsy I also have one of those - drawings are availible and I will happily provide detail pictures etc . Ted Angus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hi, many thanks for all the suggestions - we do listen to what our collectors want and many of the models in the range have been initiated in this way. The Matadors, MWD's and others have been very well recieved and we hope to see the Pioneer soon and the Bedford OY and OX are not far off with around 7 different body styles. There are 3/4 models not yet announced that are very exciting. At this time we do not have any plans to release these models at 1:148 but may well do so in the future - will bring it up at our next meeting! There will be more Civil Defence/AFS liveries - keep an eye on our website for announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Tease! Not letting much out are you?:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Only just seen this thread. Have seen the Matador and MW models and I must say I like them. Would agree with others that we need an Austin Gipsy model as at the moment there isn't anything out there which us Gipsy owners can claim! Look forward to the new models coming out and keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
