Just a quick question for you guys to discuss.
I was thinking about HaT's usual production and release methods and one thing just doesn't make sense to me.
Considering that HaT makes large master models and takes scans of them and creates the moulds from those scans, I wonder would it not be better that they use the development time to work on developing moulds for all of the scales they produce (1/72, 1/32 And 1/56 (or 28mm if you prefer)) instead of focusing on several different box sets at a time?
I only say this as the British Dragoons were already developed for 28mm and are now being made into 1/72, and probably will be moved onto 1/32 sometime after that.
To me, it would have made more sense to work on all three scales at the same time, that way they would have all of the moulds ready to go when they are needed again, instead of waiting several years to go through the same process three separate times.
So, I just want to know if you think it would be a good idea if HaT were to have fewer box sets in development at one time, but those sets are being developed in all scales, or should they continue as they do now developing up to 6 unique box sets at a time in a single scale at a time?
Additional question, if you had to say what box set from any of the current box sets they have released, would you like to see scaled up or down?
For example, I would love to see the Wurttemberg Infantry scaled to 28mm, but spread out into the M.A.C box sets. I would also love to see the SYW Prussians, and future Austrians, scaled to 28mm as well.
