We’re rapidly approaching your last chance to make an order for Salute – our last day in the workshop is Wednesday (the 9th), Thursday is for packing stuff and sorting out the displays, then on Friday we’ll head off to ExCel to set up the stand.<\/p>\n

We’ve also reached the point where we’ve run out of time to finish painting everything for preview, so you’re now getting models in their undercoat (hopefully they’ll be painted in time for Saturday). This time it’s a pair of Ottoman Turk capital ships for Imperial Skies. The Barbaros battleship and Abdulmecid fighter carrier are based on the same twin dirigible hulls, with the Barbaros sporting a heavy main turret and two secondary turrets on the lower hull. The Abdulmecid has a large flight deck with accommodation for the fighter group within the capacious gas bags, although defensive armament is very limited.<\/p>\n

These new resin-hulled models replace the old all-metal ones.<\/p>\n
