A study of the Pz.III !

The Pz.III platform was arguably the most versatile of all Panzer platforms built by the Germans during WWII.

It was a workhorse !

More than 3000 of all Ausfeuhrung were produced. This does not include any Sturmgeschütz or other special variants. The Pz.III saw service in Poland and Norway, in limited numbers as the Ausf.D. France, North Africa, and Russia.

Hence we release 5 new Pz.III's to go alongside our Pz.III Ausf. J/J1. All these variants are suitable for gaming campaigns in North Africa and more appropriately, Russia, where the Pz.III was the work horse of German Panzer formations until the introduction of the Pz.IV, which it fought alongside in all of it's guises.

Pz.III Ausf.K Panzerbefehlswagen, Pz.III Ausf. L, Pz.III Ausf.M



Pz.III Ausf.M (F1) Flammpanzer, Pz.III Ausf.N



Each vehicle comes with a command figure and an assortment of stowage. The Ausf. M, M (F1), and N come with Turret and Hull Schürzen.

All are now available in the German Vehicle and Platoon Set sections of the webstore.

If you want to mix and match your Pz.III's, I've given that option in the Platoon Sets section. You will have to send an email after adding this selection to your shopping cart detailing which Pz.III's you would like.

More to come. Including some British releases and some German Heavies !!

Cheers !

New releases !

First up. The SdKfz.123 Panzerspähwagen II Ausf.L (Luchs 5cm). Even though this upgrade to the Luchs was not implemented due to Luchs production being terminated, I'm sure that this upgraded version could possibly have made it's way into service as a battlefield modification.

The Luchs 5cm will add some extra punch to your German Recce units and I'm sure that Weird World War II collectors will find a use for it.



The Luchs 5cm is now available in the German Vehicle Shop and in the Platoon Sets section of the webstore.

The model will come with a command figure and our usual assortment of stowage.

At long last ! The French Renault R-35 series tanks arrive ! Three versions are now available !

These models were originally mastered by Ian Crouch for the old Chieftain range. I've done some major updetailing by adding a new exhaust system, adding missing rivets, doing a slight rebuild to the turret, and I've made the tracks easier to attach.

The vehicle comes with both command figures, the skid, and our usual array of stowage.

The R-35 with 37mm SA18, the R-35 with 37mm SA38, and the Char léger modèle 1935 R modifié 1939.



All three are now available in the French Vehicle Shop and Platoon Sets section of the webstore.

More models on the way !

Start thinking Pz.III's !!

Cheers !

Sorry for the long lapse, but we've been busy bringing other great companies creations to life.

To start off the year we're rolling out 10 new models. The first of which is the Pz.II Ausf.F.



Originally mastered by Ian Crouch, I've made a few changes to make assembly easier and I've done some detailing work. The model is available in the webstore as an individual piece: code DE031 and as a platoon: code PSDE022. The remaining 9 models will be released as this week progresses.

There will be a major shake up in our shipping charges and these will be beneficial to all of you !
I will be implementing the new shipping charges over the coming week.

There are currently 6 new masters being created to augment the ranks of all nationalities and I am working through the masters I have on hand from the old Chieftain range to get them all back into production.

Cheers !

An extremely large shipment of resin goodness for NorthStar Figures, 27 Kg. to be exact, has been sitting in U.K. Customs since well before Christmas. Lots of everyone's favourites as well as our latest releases included. Let's hope that the Customs and Postal Holiday elves get them to their destination !

Three Renault R-35 masters completed yesterday. I'll post pics on our forum early in the coming week. I'll have one of my all time German favourites done then as well !

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Canada !

Cheers !

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at JTFM Enterprises/Die Waffenkammer !

Cheers !

Come join our new forum : www,jtfmdiewaffenkammer.forumer.com. It's in it's infancy and I'm still tinkering with a few bugs, but it's up and running. So, drop by and see what's on the way, add your suggestions, or show us your work !

Pics for the Tracks and Troops sets are up.

Cheers !

Just in time for Christmas ! A few small offerings !

Separate stowage set packs are now available. Currently German and Allied sets are available. They include spare track sections, stowage chests, crates, ammo cases, tarps, packs, helmets and all other types of gear to dress up your vehicles. In excess of 75 pieces per pack. These should come in quite handy for those of you who have other vehicles, besides ours, that don't come with accessories. A separate Russian set is on the way as soon as I have a few oddball pieces specific to the Russians cast up.

Tracks and Troops !

This is a new section in the webstore. It will be greatly expanded in the New Year as I've made arrangements to make this foray quite appealing.

Currently there are 4 German sets and 1 U.S. set. There will be more !!

I'll have pics up tommorrow to show off the new Troops and Tracks sets.

I've also lowered the pricing on our German SdKfz.251 seated crew figures and metal Panzer Grenadier set. Check out the webstore, new prices have been marked in Red.

Cheers !

First off, things have been rather hectic here lately. We've basically replaced 60% of our production moulds for both vehicles and accessories. So we're way behind on deliveries.

So, for all of you who have outstanding orders, my apologies for the delay. Your orders are cast and are being packaged for shipping next week.

The Platoon Sets page is finally complete ! Virtually every vehicle we produce is available as a Platoon Set.
I will be making all of the sets available to all of our stockists: Northbay Games and Hobbies, North Star Figures, Brigade Games, Battlefield Berlin, and War and Peace Games.

If you want a Platoon Set from any of these outlets, to save you some shipping, let them know so they can inform us and we'll get on it ! As with all our gear it's up to the individual stockist to decide what they want carry as inventory, so if you want a specific set just let them know and we'll see about getting it to them.

More good stuff is on the way !

Cheers !

A few days late but here they are ! 6 new releases for fans of British Armour !

All these superb models were mastered by Tony Ashcroft.

To start things off, the Cromwell Mk.IV and Centaur Mk.IV !

These great models come with our usual array of stowage and a command figure. The Cromwell comes with seperate track guards and engine deck louver. Augment your British armoured forces with a homegrown AFV !





For all you Desert War campaigners, as well as Great Patriotic War gamers and collectors, a vehicle that has been overlooked for far to long !

The Valentine Mk.II and Mk.II close support tank with 3" howitzer !

These kits have our usual assortment of extras and the sandskirts are seperate for those of you with Russian forces.





Lastly the Valentine Mk.III and Mk.III close support with 75mm howitzer ! The new larger turret allowed for a dedicated loader to be added to the crew, taking the burden off the tank's commander.





The venerable Valentine first saw action in Operation Crusader during the Desert War and served with distinction with Allied forces through 1944 and to the end of the war with the Russians. It is a worthy addition to all Allied and Russian collections.

Work on the Platoon page continues. I hope to have it completed early next week.

Cheers !

More releases and even more to come !

The Universal Carrier Mk.I, the workhorse of the British Army. Original master by Ian Crouch and remastered by Jeff Trnka. The kit includes 4 crew figures and loads of stowage and extra small arms. This kit will come in handy for all Middle East and Italian Theatre gamers and collectors !



The British Comet A-34, mastered by Tony Ashcroft. This will no doubt please many a British armour enthusiast !



I'm not done yet ! Six more models to have ready before Sunday as well as getting the platoon page finished !

Cheers !

Again, another long laspe in updating the site, my apologies.

We've been extremely busy with increasing our casting capacity and taking on some new and extremely exciting projects !

First, I'd like to announce that our line of 18mm Colonial / When the Navy Walked figures are ready ! The webstore has been updated and they are available for purchase. The figures are packaged 12 per bag. 2 different poses. We will be adding 2 more poses for each unit type for each nationality shortly.

The first of the new projects we've taken on is the casting for the "Gears and Guts" line of Alternative WWII combat walkers and vehicles. These are some extremely nice models !

Secondly, I am very pleased to announce that we are now casting a wide variety of models for Khurasan Miniatures. These are extremely impressive kits and we'll be doing them up right !

Also, moulds for 10 new vehicles are complete, so stay tuned over the next week to see what they are !

Cheers !

• 08/09/11

First, apologies for the long lapse in updating the site, we've been up to our eyeballs in casting and new projects!

To start off I've re-tooled the entire SdKfz.251/C & D German halftrack line up! The track assemblies no longer require attachment to the chasis, they are now part of the cast. The front suspension and wheels are now a seperate one piece cast that take seconds to atttach. All the vehicles now come with a crew compliment as shown, including the driver.

Larger pics are viewable in the webstore.




Cheers !
