Below is a quote from what HäT said a couple of hours ago.
"Release E20" is Hät speak for what they plan to release in the 2nd quarter of 2011. "Stage 5", etc. is HäT speak for where to within these pre-production and production steps the process has advanced: 01) Research of uniforms and design of set. 02) Sketches are drawn. 03) Sculpting starts. 04) Sculpting ends. 05) Pattern making starts and ends. 06) Mold making starts. 07) Mold making continues. 08) Mold making continues. 09) Fitting of mold. 10) Testing of mold. 11) Production begins!
*Start quote*

I fully expect these to be excellent the guns will be hard plastic... and these sets from the WW2 range which will likely work for WW1 as is or with minor conversion....
8261 WW2 German Field Wagon(looks like the WW1 heavy wagon) , Done, waiting for release:
WW2 French Artillery crew, Masters finished, at stage 5.
So a lot to look forward too from Hät...
Cheers

Is that a Rowan and Martin reference?
IIRC the German Heavy Weapons is a new set, with Pickelhauben.
