New 3D producer of french modern SF vehicles and figures

Hello
I thinks some modellers could be interresting by some of the products i bought recently. I discover this new producer via Facebook and i paid my copies and have no links with the owner excepting that we’re french.
The kit i get is a VPS2 which is a special force vehicle used in Mali and based on a Toyota Land Cruiser Mod 70 (the same based truck that US SF used against ISIS in Irak). I asked the owner to do too the US version or at least the civilian Toyota, perhaps one day …
Here some photos of the resin 3D parts i recieved:

well i thinks there’re some interresting products that we’ll never see in plastic!
BTW the producer, BlackSnake Models, have in the line some P4 PatSAS (Special Force version of the P4) , VLRA, Masstech (First convert Toyota version used in Mali).
I’m affraid this company will have my money for a few kits in the future.

Nice. Looks like it will be a good model.

I am assuming this is what it will look like when done.

So I purchased one ….and it arrived today …the main body is in one piece…and it’s so sticky can’t seem to get rid of the stickyness very disappointed at the moment

Sounds like it hasn’t fully cured. Stick it out in direct sun for a while. They cure by UV light.

They have some really nice CAD figures of a modern Ukrainian soldier in various scales. I would like to see the resin parts though.

There are no holes in the wheel rims - I will have to “make” some. My version is sticky on the bottom. I’m also disappointed - the details are poor in some places - the ammunition boxes together with the transport frame. I’m waiting for Caracal from Mad Modellbau. There will be a comparison

Interested to hear my vehicle is a one part print not like the pictures above

The gunner’s turntable needs to be replaced along with the M2. Some of the small elements need to be replaced - they were damaged when cutting them off

Exactly - CAD looks very good. 20Euro is a lot compared to Live Resin, and the quality is unknown

I have to say the figures look really good …this one scales out at just over 6ft the other two I have 5/8 detail is crisp and well done and I like the casual poses

When I look at it closely, I have mixed feelings. It was getting better. It’s a pity - an interesting topic. Unusual vehicles and a unique theme of figures. If the manufacturer does not improve quality, it will be difficult for him to find a large group of buyers.

Once again, you can’t judge a kit by the images they put out.
