We&#8217;ll be pushing this out over the week so prepare for a glut of posts on the blog. The range is an eclectic mix of items ranging through small stowage items, furniture and other internal props, small one or two crew vehicles, components for scratchbuilders and converters, right up to a huge eight-wheeled all-terrain explorer vehicle. Some of the bits are made by us and cast in resin and metal, and we&#8217;ve also licenced a large range of items from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidsheffmodels.com\/printing-licences\/arcs-vol-1-printing-licences\">David Sheff<\/a> which we&#8217;ll be 3D-printing in resin. It&#8217;s mainly aimed at smaller scale skirmish games, although hopefully gamers playing larger games will also find some useful bits as well.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re starting gently, with some cargo items and a set of security barriers. Basically, stuff for your characters to hide behind in a firefight&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16112\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
