a suggestion, for those interested
Posted by trakpin on Friday, August 28, 2009 6:03 PM
in a reply, posted elsewhere here, miniart indicated a possible interest in doing 1:48 diorama kits. i'm thinking that if they get other email expressing an interest, they'll actually release something. it wouldn't be good to send a "form letter", or a mass emailing, so something in your own words should suffice. hopefully miniart'll take "us" seriously. one LHS i know of won't be able to keep them on their shelves. prolly won't take much in the way of resizing their existing kits either

   ~    I don't kow about this, but I did notice something in the new Model Military International that promted me to write the editor


Dear Brett,    I am a California modelbuilder, subscriber, and happy reader of MMI magazine and although I can hardley imagine I am the first to notice this I felt I should ask you about it.  On page 54 of the new issue (41) 1/48 scale round-up is a review of the new Gaso-Line DIO48011 - Street and Ruined Building, but I was sure I'd seen it before, as it is very obviously a scaled-down model of Mini-Art's #36001 Street w/ Ruined House (1/35 scale)  , but there is no mention of this at all. Is it pirated? Does Mini-Art not want/need credit ? In any case, I'm sure your readers would like to know they have a choice of scales for this useful item that I am intimately familiar with, as I used it recently for my Diorama " In Russian Hands "            In any case......
                                 ( Please find 3 images attached )
Thank you for all the fantastic articles, and for producing the best scale model magazine imaginable.........All The Best...........

 10 Days ago -  no response at all yet. Maybe I have to wait to see it in print. Seem like fair questions to me.

yeah, thing is, tho, companies like gas.o.line are largely net based, in that you're not likely to find them in a LHS as you would miniart. i would hope atleast a few would email miniart to let them know there's a demand for what they have in onefortyeight
