I had thought of von Meyers cartoon as a 'Junkyard Dog'.  Not sure if there was a German equivalent back in the day.

What I hope to see on this venture would be a durable paint.  Mr. Kit from Italy made a good effort on WWI Colors but their paint had a reputation for being fragile.  Gunze was a personal favorite, but issues with labeling, an ingredient and the attitude of the owner caused them to withdraw from the US market.  Not a WWI specialty provider, but they had a large range of well behaved paints.

Hello everybody,

I have some good news. ;)

We researched thoroughly the possibilities of shipping the paints to US and other countries and I am glad to say we are on a good way to make it happen. As soon as I have found a final solution I will share with you.

Hellboy and Sergey are working hard on the first public presentation of Bulldog paints now, which will take place at a local contest next weekend. As a supporting element I will of course be there and try to get some photos. One of the best czech experts on WWI aviation scale modelling will have a workshop on Bulldog paints, perhaps we will be able to make a video spot and share with you.

As I am not the Genie with the know-how and knowledge on the background of how the paints were made and what the research is based on, I am happy to be a testing user, so I will join the mini group build with a scratch build Albie D.Va of Paul Bäumer from Jasta 5 (of course in my scale, 1/144). The choice was driven by the very aspect to test as many Bulldog paints as possible. The progress will not be fast but I promise to do my best. Really looking forward to seeing how the Jasta 5 green will work out, even more curious about the Mauve.

We are doing our best to let you test the Bulldog paints as soon as possible. ;)

Best

Thank you for the positive comments, guys.

We are working hard on searching for the options to deliver the paints to as many folks as possible.

Next Saturday I will meet Sergey and Hellboy personally (after half a year) and I have a long list of issues regarding to Bulldog paints. Next steps will be the english version of e-shop and distribution to countries like US, Australia and NZ.

Please keep your fingers crossed for Sergey and Hellboy, they have done a great job so far, I am really astonished of the quality of their products and will do my best to support them in terms of bringing the Bulldog paints to the relevant users.

Cheers

Hi Martin,

The Red Baron is right, the english version of the e-shop is Nr. 1 on our to do list, there are technical issues of multilanguage support on the host server, but I am sure we can sort it out in short time. Once resolved, we will be able to serve demand from abroad like Germany, Poland etc.

Afterwards the next step should be countries like US, Australia, NZ etc. outside the EU region.

I will post an up-date on the progress next week after discussion with Sergey and Hellboy.

Cheers

Hello everybody,

as promised, here a brief up-date after saturday's meeting with Sergey and Hellboy:

- first good news, there WILL be the english version of Bulldog e-shop - we decided to replace the czech version with english, this will be finished within days

- second good news, the workshop with Bulldog paints at the modelling contest I have mentioned was very successful, I will share a video from the workshop with you as soon as possible. One of the best WWI modellers, Sláva Vaňous, shows there work with Bulldog paints

- third good news - we made quite a progress regarding to distribution to countries outside of EU, most probably we will go for selling via eBay (this is a preliminary information, however)

Please feel free to ask questions if you are interested in further details. ;)

Cheers
