We’ve bundled up some of our 6mm buildings into packs to make it even easier to create your own desert township. The first pack, comprising mostly dwellings and houses, gets you a dozen buildings for £13, whereas the town buildings pack (workshops, towers etc) has eight of the larger buildings for £16 – both represent more than 10% off the individual prices.
Ok so this is a fairly shameless excuse to get a picture of one my cats on the internet.
However the wife is going away for five whole days to Snowdonia with some friends so naturally I’m taking time off work to enjoy time on my own in the house. Even allowing for the fact that I have to take the sprogs to and from school each day I will get around thirty hours in the house on my own. I don’t think I’ve had that much time on my own at home since 1998.
So my plan is to spend as much time as possible making new masters, cleaning up models for moulding and doing general Brigade stuff. I’m aiming to post the results of each day in the evening. Not sure what I’ll make – there aren’t any firm plans at the moment.
That’s the idea anyway. I’ve got a stack of DVD’s that I don’t normally get to watch lined up, a fresh supply of plastic card and a pile of chocolate to fortify me.
Of course I might simply sit and play Diablo III…..
Modelling work on the 15mm Soviets continues apace; in addition to the Kunitsa APC and Laska tankette already previewed, we have the following models ready for printing:
We’re working hard on turning these collections of bits and bytes into resin and metal reality – as expected, not everything has worked first time and we’ve had to get one or two bits reprinted because they needed tweaking (or, in a couple of cases, I managed to destroy them while making moulds …). But we’ll get there.
At Salute we sold an awful lot of copies of the Legionnaire Games rulebooks – the Strike Legion set for 1/300th ground combat, and the Task Force Zeta spaceship rules. We’ve just had a restock order come through on these, which also includes volume 2 of TFZ – Fleet Auxiliaries. This is now available on the website, and includes lots of new rules, new weapons, pre-defined ships etc. Click on the photo below for more.
So we reach the end of our burst of new releases. The last items are all 15mm SF, although at opposite ends of the size scale. The prize for sheer bulk goes to the AmRep Curtiss Heavy Hover Tank, a behemoth at over 75mm long (excluding gun barrel). This is the first of our new wave of 15mm releases, 3D sculpted and scaled at 1/100th (slightly larger than our existing models).
SF15-202 Curtiss Heavy Tank £8.00
At the more diminutive end of the scale, we have the second two packs of PF’s excellent figures – Human Mercenaries and Alien Bounty Hunters.
SF15-003 Human Mercenaries (pack of 5) £2.00
SF15-004 Alien Bounty Hunters (pack of 5) £2.00
We’re working at bringing a rather steadier trickle of releases over the next year, rather than our intermittent bursts of lots of models at one go, and might even get things announced in advance – so keep your eyes peeled …
Following a rather irritating no-show by a customer who placed an order to be collected at Salute, we have a number of sets of our Shapeways Power Pylons available for sale. These can be found on the website, and you can purchase them in the usual way through the shopping cart along with anything else you would like to order.
We also have some water towers – one each of the small, mushroom, spheroid and British. I haven’t added these to the website because there is only one of each, so please e-mail me if you’d like to purchase one of these.
We had three new Aeronef models at Salute on Saturday, all British. These are now available on the website, joining our previous batches of 6mm and 15mm buildings, spaceships, Land Ironclads and Celtos figures.
Two are giants of their class – the Victoria is the largest battleship in our Aeronef range yet, and carries two small torpedo attack craft on the upper superstructure. The Heyworth is a large biplane bomber, again dwarfing all other fixed wing aircraft (although not for long …).
And as if that wasn’t enough, we have discovered that a release from last year has been completely missed off the website – so we give you the Russian Burevestnik class Seaplane:
We’ve been adding new releases like mad lately – and we’re not stopping just yet. Now it’s time for some additions to our range of 6mm SF Desert buildings.
So welcome to the latest batch of new releases – this time, we’re adding eight (eight !) new buildings to our 15mm SF Desert Buildings, to allow a nice little town to be put together.
As promised, the new releases keeping coming. Today it’s new spaceships; the AmRep Phoenix strikeship (a fast attack craft with an FTL drive, designed for rapid strike missions), the German Spatz missile boat (a similar sized craft but with a missile armament), plus the German Galland class attack fighter (to give some anti-shipping capability to German carriers).
