April 1, 2008
 
1A  WW1 & WW2 French Masters are complete and perfect, we just need to make a couple simple changes to the uniform, ammo belt and officer.
 
1B  We have decided that a 120% effort is not good enough and now are going to give 140% effort.  60% uniform, 50% pose. 10% equipment, 10% gun straps and 10% officer.
 
1C  After the couple simple improvements the set will be 100% correct,  all areas perfecter with nothing missing or incorrect.
 
1D  Tooling will start late April 2, 2008 because of the minor delays and changes and the sets should be available at the end of 2008.
 
 
April Fools 2008
 
Test shots of the WW2 French  are in hand and some items like the rim of the helmet need improvements other areas are very nice for details.  The soft plastic for the soldiers and the hard plastic for the weapons gives the buyer some excellent soldiers.

June 1, 2008  
 
1A  WW1 & WW2 French Masters are completed and perfection,  the sets are 110% correct and accurate.
 
1B  We have decided to add some extra equipment to a few of the guys and make a small modificaton on the jackets to improve the accuaracy.  With us giving 170% effort on this set to make sure it is 110% accurate and correct and on time schedule.  60% Uniforms, 50% pose, 10% equipment, 10% gun straps, 20% officer, 10% jacket and 10% time schedule. 
 
1C  With the new changes and improvements this set will set a standard for perfection, where perfect is just not good enough and on the market when promised.
 
1D   Tooling will start at the last day of April or first day of the following month 2008 and the sets should be available on the last week of 2008.
 
 
July 1, 2008
 
1A   WW1 & WW2 French Masters are complete and 110% correct.  Nothing else is need for these sets.
 
1B   We have decided to add some items to the guys,  they are not really required to be 110% correct and accurate, but many photos of the WW1 & WW2 French do have these items, so we thought we would add them.  We are now giving 175% effort.  60% uniform, 50% pose, 10% gun straps, 20% officer, 20% jacket, 15% equipment, 0% time schedule.
 
1C   With the new changes and improvements this set will set a new standard for perfection where perfect is just not good enough and released close to the time schedule.
 
1D   Tooling did start on last day of April or first day of the following month if you consider the mold layout part of the tooling,  if only the metal parts count,  this should start on time to make the current release schedule of the morning of the last day of 2008.
 
 
August 1, 2008
 
1A  WW1 & WW2 French Masters are complete and 110% correct.  We have checked and rechecked from all the information and all the people that have information on the two sets.  We have the best sources of people and informaton.  Not one single thing needs to be added or changed or corrected on these sets.
 
1B   Jean has brought to our attention that the WW1 jacket is slightly different than the WW2 jacket.  Dave has also suggested that one of the guys jackets could be improved to to his pose the jacket is not quite right (the sleeping guy), front brace on the bipod for the FM24/29 
 
1BB   We also thought we would add an ammo box for the HMG guy and a bag for carrying extra rounds for the FM24/29 firing guy.  We are also changing the grenadier gun from the berthier to the lebel.  It seems to be more common.  As of this time we can not find any pictures proving they did not use the berthier,  we can find pictures of them useing the lebel and have decided this is more correct.  Not that the other may not be correct,  just not 110% correct.
 
1BBB  It has been brought to our attention that the crawling guy has a canteen that defies gravity.  This is completely unacceptable for a set that is 110% correct and accurate,  even though he could be crawling up a very steep hill where this would be correct we have been persuaded that it is best to change this. 
 
1C  With these extremely minor changes these sets will be perfectorest and accurest set ever offered on 1/72 (approx if the tooling guy gets it correct) 1940 WW2 French and 1/72 (approx if the tooling guy gets it correct)WW1 Frenh from Pegasus, but whatever scale these end up being,  they will set a new standard that can not possibly be improved upon.  We have given 195% effort.  60% uniform, 50% pose, 10% gun straps, 20% officer, 20% jacket, 15% equipment, 30% improvements and a negative 10% time schedule.
 
1D  Tooling has started, the mold layout is done and as soon as the changes are made the metal will be ordered for the molds and when that arrives the tooling guys will start, so as you can see the tooling is now on schedule to start soon as possible and meet our deadlines. Sets should be available late afternoon of the last day of 2008.
 
 
Sept 1, 2008
 
1A   WW1 & WW2 Frech masters are complete and 110% accurate and ready to go to tooling.  With all the last changes being done and not a single thing needs to be changed we are on schedule.
 
1B   The crawling guy has not been changed from item 1BBB of the August 2008 corrections list. 
 
1C   We will not bring out this set unless it is perfectorist and on time.  And since September is a political month in America with the presidential canditates promising changes, we thought we would honor them with these sets having 4 years of changes to bring them to the market with all the guarentees and straight talk of any great politician.  With this inspriration we can give no less than 210% effort. 60% uniforms, 50% pose, 10% gun straps, 20% officer, 20% jacket, 15% equipment, 30% improvements, 10% correct canteen angles, 15% promises and guarentees and a negative 20% time schedule (not sure how we are being deducted when the release date has not come yet, no reason other than I just make this stuff up).  For those wondering how the crawling guy was not changed before, it was a computor gliche (malfunction),  we have found out the computor problem was the operator, he did not send the sculpor the information and only in his mind were the changes being done. 
 
1D  These sets should be available early evening on the last day of 2008.

1A WW1 & WW2 French masters are done and ready for tooling.   They are perfectionestor and corrector.   Better than perfect,  betterest than correct, even more better.
 
1B  Metal has been ordered and recieved and the tooling guys are ready to start cutting the molds,  only problem is nobody can find the mold layout, seems like they just finished them not to long ago?????
 
1C  Chinesse holidays will slow down the time schedule, but we should have the set out on the evening of the last day of 2008. 
 
1D   For those of you wanting this set,  the wait will be worth it,  you will have lived a long life and this set has given tought you patience,  and not many companies in this bussiness give you both toy soldiers and patience and changes, most only give just one things,  toy soldiers or patience.

1A  I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and let them know that we are putting all effort into the WW1 & WW2 French sets.
 
 
Jan 1, 2009  (Forcast)
 
1A   Sets have been delivered and completely sold out.  PSR has reviewed the sets and given them the highest marks of any sets and now must make a new standard for sets in the future.   They have been seen on the front pages of the NY Times, Newsweek, FHM, French Soldiers of the World Wars and been on the major talk shows of Leno and Letterman,  even Howard Stern has bought a few sets and has asked his listners to help him find more.    Prices for boxes are as high as $100.00 on ebay due to the demand and quality of the sets.  Major money man Warren Buffet has said he is selling his gold bars and investing in boxes of the Pegasus Hobbies WW1 & WW2 French.  The 1/32 WW1 & WW2 French are a success.
 
1B  After this success of these sets we have considered doing them in 1/72,  but not wanting to have a different scale than our earlier Germans we have decided to do them in 1/76
