We don’t usually release too much in our smaller scale ranges at Salute – we tend to find that they get overlooked in the plethora of big shiny new releases from us and other companies. So we save them for other weeks where they can stand out on their own, or at events such as Joy of Six which is dedicated to the smaller scales.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But there can always be exceptions. Some of you may have come across Germy (Jeremey Claridge) on our stand at previous Salutes, he lends an extra pair of hands and in particular mans the Celtos end of the displays. He also sculpts for us, and you’ll have seen that we’ve become the new home to his fantastic 3mm sci-fi range<\/a>. So in his honour we have some new releases to complement his tiny tanks which will debut at Salute 52. Jeremey also painted all of these sample models for us.<\/p>\n

There’s this unusual twin tower block, inspired by a Spanish holiday hotel !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Followers of the Germy website<\/a> might recognise these, based as they are on some of his paper models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we also have this new dropship model. It’s a new design, but nearly identical to Germy’s original model – the difference is that this is a one-piece resin item, which is much easier to cast than the old metal one which came with a healthy dose of flash and five fiddly parts to assemble.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we will of course have the rest of the range with us as well.<\/p>\n

GMM-344 – Mercenary Dropship – \u00a32.50
