Well, the parcel arrived yesterday and I've very rapidly taken a few photographs just to show them off. All are available from our Shapeways Shop as of now. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Shapeways/index.html Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT Having had some test prints back from Shapeways, we've added two new items to our Shapeways store today. We're making the doors and widgets that we use on our 15mm buildings available as seperate items so that you can customise our models or use them on your own scratchbuilds. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT We have two new rulebooks releases today, along with the return of an old favourite. First we have The War That Never Was, an add-on module for Legionnaire Game's Planetary Ops operational level rules. Secondly, again from Legionnaire, we have the first volume in their foray in starship rules, Task Force Zeta. Finally, the return of a stalwart in Majestic 12 Game's Starmada X:Brigade, which also means that the starter packs are back too. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Shapeways/index.html Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT Many of you may be aware of Shapeways, the 3D printing service that produces solid objects from computer models. The process allows the creation of complex designs that would be just about impossible using traditional techniques. We've just opened our own shop on Shapeways which we'll be using to offer things that would be difficult to produce normallly or more esoteric items that aren't suitable for mass production. The beginnings are rather humble (just three models) but we'll be steadily adding new models over the coming months. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/LandIronclads/Terrain.html Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT Taking a break from casting sale orders, today we're releasing two new items in the Land Ironclads range. These are acoustic mirrors, based on the WWI installations that can be found around the southern and eastern coasts of England. They make ideal mission objectives for games of Land Ironclads or Aeronef. http://blog.brigademodels.co.uk Tue, 6 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT If you look to the left you'll see a new entry in the menu - we now have a blog, which we'll be using to share interesting snippets of info, preview new models, boast about our cake-eating exploits etc. If you pop over now you'll see the couple of entries showing off some of our planned new releases. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Xmas.html Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT It's that time of year again ... the season of goodwill to all men, mince pies, mistletoe, turkey and, of course, the Brigade Xmas Sale ! We're sticking with the formula of the past couple of years which everyone seems to like - nothing fancy, just a blanket discount off just about everything. Click on our four lovely assistants above for full details. http://blog.brigademodels.co.uk Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT If you look to the left you might notice a new entry in the menu - we now have a blog.The plan is to reserve the front page of the website for ‘proper’ news - releases, show dates, sales etc. This blog will be less formal and used for other snippets of info’, sightings of our models out on the web, neat modelling or painting ideas, useful links and so on.It’ll probably end up supplanting the Design Studio and we’ll use the blog to preview new stuff on our workbenches.Both Phil and I will be posting on an irregular and haphazard basis as the fancy takes us - the initial posts are already there. http://majere613.deviantart.com/#/d41h0q7 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT DeviantArt user Majere613 has sent us some links to some painted Swordmaidens on the DeviantArt website - here and here. In fact he sent me these ages ago, but I've been a bit slow in posting, so apologies to him ... http://triplezeropainting.com/2011/11/13/finished-brigade-models-oness-fleet/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT These appeared on our forum today and I just had to share it. Forum user Skorro has posted pictures of his excellent German spacefleet and a link to his blog, TripleZeroPainting. He's also preparing some more posts on how he painted them, so keep an eye out. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/6mmSF/Desert Buildings.html Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT Our 6mm desert town has grown today, with the addition of two new buildings. In addition, Squadron Commander players get the benefit of two new fighter craft, the CDSU Zhengsheng attack fighter and the EuroFed Meteore attack fighter. Both would also make ideal ground support craft for Future War Commander or Strike Legion games. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/15mmSF/Buildings.html Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT Today we're releasing the first two models in our new 15mm SF buildings range. These represent small dwellings found on desert planets such as those in the terraformed Martian colonies. The next models are already in the pipeline, so keep an eye on the Design Studio for updates. http://paintedterrain.com/FullThrust.aspx Tue, 8 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT Rich (AKA Lackey Alpha) has posted a series of photos of painted ships and Full Thrust stats for our SAC models - and very nice they look too. These are of the initial release, hopefully he'll give the same treatment to the recent releases too. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/DesignStudio/index.html Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT We've posted a first look at two models in a new 15mm buildings range, which are based on scaled-up versions of our recent 6mm range. We should have these in production fairly soon, with more to follow. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Spaceships/SAC.html Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT We have four new spaceships in the South African Confederation fleet today - the Assegai battlecruiser, Drakenberg light carrier, Oshana escort cruiser and Kashana destroyer, along with the SAC Frontier Patrol Group pack containing all of these models. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Cakes/Cake-9.html Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT Now all that tedious mucking about with summer sales and stuff is over, we can get back to what we do best - eating cakes. This week we have a seasonal offering for you - Mr Kiplings Fiendish Fancies. Enjoy !
