In no way we are to be connected to any political ideolegy. We did not check for the logo's origins as just can't do that with every logo of every company. Thanks for your update on that and honestly it also left a strange feeling to us when we saw your link and learnt that the banner is cutout from such a propaganda poster. Nonetheless we do enjoy working with the products of this company. We can understand that you feel offended, but as Max, Raffa and Zab said, don't judge too fast.<br /><br />Seeing that you are feeling offended by the banner I removed the visual banner and put just a text link.Roman aka jarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620077720130753226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669705958656495659.post-69343454092894371882014-09-07T19:31:41.409+02:002014-09-07T19:31:41.409+02:00Brief edit to my previous post: "ärgere"...Brief edit to my previous post: "ärgere" = agree.

We ärgere that we all should remain aware what happened back then in order to not let it happen again. This also applies to any rogue regime and criminal dictatorship.<br /><br />But as Raffa said, please do not judge too easily and quickly without knowing the context and background.

It were horrible times 80 years ago and I am happy that we have nothing to do with the things that happened then.Raffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642880504324678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669705958656495659.post-4470128119967816612014-09-07T02:58:20.741+02:002014-09-07T02:58:20.741+02:00What are they putting in the water over there?

I can see it being used to show some peeling aged veneer in a diorama, or to decal the sides of a resin plinth, as well as a few other ideas just off the top of my head. Interesting product... as to the font and pictures, well, they hearken back to another era and fit with the aesthetic of the product and it's application for models from that era. I'm not so sure it should be discounted because of the past. We can't change that and denying the past won't make it go away. Just because that artwork was used for an evil purpose doesn't mean they must always be associated with it. All that can be done is to acknowledge the past, learn from it and look to the future with peace and love in our hearts and minds. I'm certain no offense was intended.Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669705958656495659.post-51466412105753764872014-09-06T14:29:42.247+02:002014-09-06T14:29:42.247+02:00first of all, i think that the "ushi van der ...first of all, i think that the "ushi van der rosten" logo and font evokes some very unpleasant resemblance of propaganda posters from nazi germany. I was completely shocked when I saw this kind of image on one of my favourite miniature blogs. have you even put some efford in researching where the image the company has used came from? http://tinyurl.com/kxgcb3c it was taken from a hitler youth poster, absolutely unacceptable and shameful thing to do in my opinion. If you don´t put a statement on your website about massive voodoo´s attitude towards imagery like this, I will leave and never come back. others should do the same.<br />- Patrick Suurland, grand son of ww2 victimsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
