Model Expo catalogs are responsible for 8.4% of all my model related purchases in the past 4 years amounting to $453.22. I keep detailed records. It's the best marketing tool ever.

I got spoiled by Model Shipways first time out of the box ca.1955. (This is no $#:*!) Okay

I'm working on it. Going to need a lot more beautiful blocks for the next few model builds. Kit blocks just plain suck.

Along with many tools and ship kits, I have almost all the armor kits you produce.

I like military history, just which you had horses in same scale as the cannons, limbers and ambulance.

Some of them are great beginner kits!

Kurt,
We've developed Harnesses and Hitch kits to go with the 1:12 Model Trailways Wagons. We also provide the Breyer horses on the same scale.
To scale the harnesses to another scale takes time, and we have a lot of new kits coming. Specially after we got the rights to bring back Midwest

I've seen 1:16 horses available on the Internet. Can forward you the links, if you want. But I could not find harnesses in the same scale.

Regards,
Ricardo

I am building your Grand Banks Dory right now. My first wooden ship after many years of plastic. I will be ready soon to order the sailing pram!

That is why we all learn to scratch build things.

Yes, I would like the link to the 1:16 horses.

Keep up the great customer support, that is why I keep buying from ME/MS.

ooo, that's interesting! I could make a harness for horses to go with my limber for the gatling gun.

It sure is! Maybe we should start thinking about having a kit for that, in the 1:16 scale...

Kurt Konrath · Nov 8, 2023

I am sure with all the sales of your horse drawn weapons and ambulance you would get many takers for scale harness.

Maybe a generic set that builders can customize for specific weapons being pulled if there is a need.

I'll take this idea to the boss. I like it!
