nice looking panzers

ntrabbit

Those are some beautiful dioramas, since primary school I’ve aspired to being able to get close to making display models like these (and having the storage space to keep them :V ). I guess that is a plus for these Rubicon kits, 1/56 is a lot easier to store than 1/35.

turak

Tank you for the great coverage of UKGE.

tompenn

Beautiful Models, I want some to use for the What a Tanker rules.

thorwodenssen

Great looking kits and dioramas. Really awesome

kantor72

I love tanks in all their various forms 🙂 ,the biggest part of my heart belongs to all the german tanks of WW2.

doomdark

The dioramas were stunning. The kits are brilliant well detailed and loads of different versions of the kit type. I have the tiger and did it in the late war variant , you can do it early or mid war. Also have the motor bike and side car.The 88 and the airborne jeep were very nice, I hope to get more in the future.

tomsche69

They have some great models, here at TSA we use them for WAT

Love the Rubicon stuff

janus1004

I liked the one kit I built (the PzIV), would not mind trying some more! 🙂

passimalo

It looks fantastic the models… will gave it a try in combination with Bolt Action.

stuart20

Nice tanks!

fozzy1232

Rubicon is great to put together.

cypher2009

Some of the Rubicon stuff is really nice. Looks great on the table with Bolt Action stuff. Would love these for a Chain of Command game.

nogginthenog

Have to agree with John, Rubicon are excellent models. I’ve built their Tiger 1 (its in my Project Blog), and while it is not as detailed as a Meng or Takom in the bigger scales its no less accurate and a thoroughly enjoyable modelling project.

astralwraith

Fantastic dioramas

theoneaeon

Was wondering where I had seen Steve before, He did some really cool Dropzone stuff some years back. Love the kits. Might have to look closer on the stuff Rubicon make.

silverfox8

Could always use more Reinforcements for my German SS Platoon!

bigbadbazz

Love the detailed models

bighagar

Rubicon rocks! Very good products

soapdodger

The dioramas are stunning. never done one before, this is making me want to do one.

stevec

Top model kits just have to find something to do with all the variant bits I have leftover

tankkommander

Very nice.

ocahan

Lovely tanks

ghastly13

Those look amazing!

tomd

Rubicon doing terrain so cool. the ww2 kits are awesome i cant wait to see the terrain bit that coming out.

swbeil

I like the look of the product but have never owned any. First you can never have to much terrain second I don’t play WWII games but I do heavy conversions in the games I do play so all are welcome.

dodgyfarmer

Rubicon models just keep getting better and better.

daegren

Now that is some amazing work!!!

innes

Nice kits.

blackspiral

Amazing looking! Have to check these out!

skodamarine

Those do look like nicely detailed kits.

s14forever

That 88 looks awesome, especially with the crew to go with it! Use the Rubicon kits for my Bolt Action Canadian Army and my SS kampfgruppe Peiper. It’s my opinion but the warlord and italleri kits are sometimes a bit to bulky, or inaccurate compared to Rubicon kits. Could always use a Pak 40 and the fences look very Nice, would love to give them a try. Good job Rubicon.

hackareatech

Nice dioramas

smitty14

Really enjoy Rubicon’s kits. Nice models and fun to build. Looking forward to the new releases. Steve does awesome work on the dioramas also.

sundancer

Can I haz some tanks plz? XD

fierytitan

Awesome tanks

danny76

Getting really into WWII stuff at the minute

koraski

I love Rubicon’s kits. Sadly the only local shop that carried them has stopped so I have to mail order now.

thebloke

Very nice models

paulbarton

When I first encountered Rubion I was sure they were making scale models of tanks that is how good these models are!

amachan

No pink panther though….

turbocooler

Tigers, Panzers and Shermans Oh my!

mecha82

Those are some great looking dioramas.

baranora

This looks epic!

ALL THE TANKS!

grodd1016

I love Rubicon’s minis.

dane001

These dioramas were really good,i especially like the vehicle in the water (a buffalo i think?) Very good models!

ironshield

Oh I am torn between my loyalty to help warlord and there bolt action range,but I must admit these do look good. Never built one off there kits but I think I will be having a look now.

toricova

amazing tanks!! .love them!!!

fabint

I need to step up my shit…

darting

Those dioramas are great.

jmrecoil

Glad John got some time on camera, especially since he will be going home with some of these.

basilbrush

love the models – so much better for gaming than the italeri/warlord ones. pity about the glue issues

templar007

My Bolt Action vehicles have been supplemented for a long time with Rubicon models. In fact, I probably own more Rubicon 1/56 scale models than any other brand.

I have yet to see a bad Rubicon kit.

nixtone

Stunning dioramas, I wish I had such skills..

georgesealy

I love the Rubicon kits – having built a couple they’re a joy. Keen to get some of their DD Sherman’s to flesh out my D-Fay British force.

bothi

Rubicon models can sometimes be a pain to built. But once put together they are beautiful.

eldritch247

Rubicon are hitting it out of the park. Their kit range is amazing.

redvers

Fantastic dioramas there. Great looking kits as well, will have to check these out.

scruffyrogue

Sweet! More tanks!

mephiston1216

I love the Rubicon kits. I have quite of few of them for my Bolt Action forces.

halfmileduck

I love the Rubicon models, they make the best kits and I love them in my BA Germans!

vorganov

I have tried some Rubicon models, and now I am waiting for incoming Sherman Mk III. I hope, there will be conversion kit, with alternate suspension covers and hull so there will be possibility to build any version

dougiemonster

Those dioramas are fantastic!

dammitprawn

TANKS!!!! Yeah Rubicon kits are great…..and they make nice fruity beverages?

wazarov

OMG ill die for some of their stuff, i never thought i can become a Diorama person, now ill have to use my Bolt action stuff to make some Dioramas..

teglas

I like Rubicon models

eddator227

Amazing stuff, i heard and saw some on a painting contest at a historical con and incredible results.

bennu

Nice looking kits. Not heard of them before

terrordactyl

Good on them on those scale model awards

wwbennylavad

jondaw

Great tanks … great for games such as what a tanker.

battlehawk

Nice looking models.

xanadib

Liking the panzers. good looking diorama’s.

irondragon6

Yes please, I’m so into these models.

darthvegeta800

Those are some yummie panzers! 🙂 My old man would love those!

dkenty

some great WW2 models and dioramas

lawnor

Thats some amazing stuff. I’ve never had reason to work with some of the more detailed kits like they make. Looks like it could be fun, once I’ve worked through my backlog.

falerox

Those models are exceptional, and the dioramas are amazing. Loving the detail and the variety!

falerox

I had never heard of this company before, thank you for showcasing!

jb66

The DAK diorama is still my favourite
really looking forward to their new kits especially the Sd.Kfz. 7/1 🙂

spacewolflord

Even after all these years it still amazes me just how many different vehicles that everyone produced during WWII. There are those Iconic ones that everyone hears about but Rubicon seems to like to work on the little known ones as well.

higgy

Like the look of everything on this stand, If the Tank God loves it its good enough for me.

alninio

Lovely dioramas, especially the water one, stunning.

dekinrie

John and and tanks that’s an unexpected combination

rickyard

Incredible job! these minis are incredibly good

ijontichy

Ohhhh, shiny toys! I have not tried one of their kits, but they shure look good!

napalmer

I’ve looked at rubicon for a while. Wold be interesting to get my hands on and see what my demented mind kit-bashes them into.

while

Great looking kits!

carabus

There stuff just looks better and better each time I see it.

felfeni

Looks beautiful

danbang

I have several Rubicon kits and i really like them. My personal favs being the now retired PzIII and M4A3E8 kits. Id quite like one of the Panther kits so fingers crossed….

doomzombie

I have bought Rubicon on and off over the years, each time i have bought some of there kits i have seen improvements to them. Looking at what Rubicon have to offer i now think its time to nip out and get a few kits. Not sure what, but itll probably German or American. Those Dioramas are amazing, what ill be moving on to once ive had enough of gaming and need to take a break (which could be next year), but not stop completely.

shaunbag

ill also be checking these out for bolt action additions! the dioramas are very nice indeed

kayrack

TANKS!!!!!

sternpb

Very nice models. I heard about Rubicon but never got to see their products. Looks really nice.

seefrodorun

Really like some of their plastic models. I should really add some of them to my collection soon.

trewets

Beautiful model what more can one say?

panzerkaput

Lovely kits

marktarver

shiny things that go BOOM!

ebrackin

The kits are really well done! The dioramas really show them off well.

goatberger

Great dioramas. Well done.

nashwyrd

Fantastic products

utherdracus

I love the look of the dioramas.

maxkee

Build a few rubicon kits.They feel more delicate/detailed in some sense and prefer them over warlord own kits. Not a big fan of the plastic they use because my revell glue doesn’t work as well. But you can’t have everything.

gosho75

Beautiful looking models and dioramas.
