 Not what I usually think of when I hear the name 'Vargas', but pretty neat. Really wish the Renault SPG was 1/72, but I should probably start building larger scales for the sake of my eyes, at least. :D

Same here, was expecting some kind of artwork subjects with females in alluring poses. 

The 75mm gun motor carriage based on the Reneault FT-17 is certainly interesting.

I have a Ford 3 Ton in Rhino that I should finish. The tracks are a pain, especially trying to keep it within Shapeways limits. Maybe with a resin printer I can try again.

For esoteric subjects, this company is banging them out. Lots of potential in all those.
I must comment that it certainly appears that US Tank designers really had not hit their straps on some of the early 30's models.

BTW, with regards to the Burstyn Motorgeschutz 1912 tank concept, see here for more details of the history of this one which is interesting given it pre-dates WW1.

 I am delighted to see the manufacturer has branched out into 1/72! (Though I would be mighty tempted to pick up the Holt Gas-Electric for an evil bit of scale-0-rama...)

Definite YES on the M119/L119 105mm towed howitzer.  Will have to wait until next month to beat up my wallet  though.

My Two M777 kits were delivered today.  Sadly, no instructions will be available until 20220612.  Nice details and plenty of additional parts such as 155mm shells and two muzzle brakes that feature the towing pintle.  Not sure if there is a difference between the things and will have to wait until the instructions are available for download on 20220612 to see what it is all about.

The 3D prints of the trip seven look really really good.

I'd love to see a Giat LG-1 105mm too.
