Germy's work

1. I'd like to take a moment to say thanks for 
the work. Not for myself, I'm one of these "if it 
isn't resin or plaster...." purists. But for 
everyone it *does* help. You see, to me, the 
thing about wargaming is that we want to get 
more people involved. Many of those have 
limited budgets and can't afford huge armies 
and spending $5-25 on a building would be 
insane. So by providing cheap printable terrain, 
you suddenly open up the hobby to a whole 
pile of new people - it makes the "buy in" price 
a lot cheaper. And *that* is good for the 
hobby.

2. Have you thought about talking to Tony, Jon, 
or David about getting your buildings printed 
up on cardstock and sold (for a cheap price, 
small markup for them) through the normal 
distribution channels for figs etc? It'd get them 
into catalogs. I don't mean this as a money 
making scheme, but it might be good for them 
and for the hobby to have cheap terrain offered 
by the mini manufacturers. And people could 
then stop complaining they can't print them.. 
*grin*. This approach might be worth 
investigating. Especially since I think the images 
could be scalable (or some more could be 
made) to cover all scales from 6mm through 
30mm. 

3. I saw some of your tanks after Indy had 
painted them. I was ambivalent when I saw 
them in baremetal, but I've changed my mind. 
I'm not a big fan of "bugs" (read: icky alien 
things) but I plan to (when funds allow) get a 
hand on some of your 1/300th bug vehicles as 
they are nice looking when painted. So kudos 
here too. 

We wargamers don't often speak up, but there 
are a lot of folks who like your work and a lot 
more that could benefit in future from cheap 
terrain they can actually afford to buy. And 
having more players is good for the hobby.
