Great reporting! Did you get any word on when the ltm1500 jibs and kobelco crawlers will be shipping? Kinda disappointed wsi made the tips of the jib plastic, that one little section being plastic won't help that much in reducing weight. As long as it's not twisted though I'll be happy. Also kinda mad the new 1350s have the same boom locking positions as the 1500 now, sucks for us guys that already have one =>:-<

I agree. Nice reporting! Now I know I need to save my money, as I have found a couple of cranes and several trucks I want.

Ian, you had me confused, on the video you called the 966 a 1/27 scale and it is list as 1/87. Just thought I'd let you know of the miss wording on the video. Loved the review though, might make me start buying some for my HO (1/87 scale) railroad. Thanks again for your reviews as it is definitely a big help with purchasing!!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Not sure how much feedback you get for your reviews, but I'm increasingly finding them essential viewing (even got the Girlfriend watching them - that's unbelieveable). I'm lusting after models I didn't even know I needed. Keep up the excellent service!

I will second the above, my girlfriend laughs when I watch the reviews because she says the music sometimes sounds like porn music  Cracking reviews though, I do find myself visiting your reviews before I consider buying.

I always show my GF Ians reviews, we both love his humor he has been putting in them. Ian has come a long way from when he started video reviews when he was as dry as a piece of toast. Now we look forward to his reviews!! And yes, I always check Ian's reviews as well as Steven Downes on Miniature Construction World and between the 2 is how I determine what I'm getting us. Yes US as my GF also collects 1:50 scale equipment now, I got the bug put into her, bwahahahaha!!! Oh and if I may have heard Ian wrong I do Apologize but we are pretty sure it was 1 to 27, Ian may have checked it and changed it by now. Ian, keep up the great job and if your ever in Sarasota, Florida area let me know as the other half and I would love to meet you!!!!!

ROFL...I agree about the music. My GF looks at me funny when I climb into bed, turn the lights off, set her scented candles out, and lust after models he reviews.

Awe Ian, what I meant by "dry as toast" is that when you first started out the reviews were short and to the point with very little else. Now your coming up with more humor and unusual scenes that make the reviews worth watching to see what the "crew" is going to do next. Basically you have come out of the awkward stage to the more comfortable yourself stage and it actually shows in the way you do your reviews.

Many thanks Dain and DCF, of course I know exactly what you mean. It's good that things are seen to improve over time. We just need one or two of the slower model making companies to catch that idea.... I really appreciate all the feedback. Only thing about using humour is that I never hear anyone laughing......  Ian
