This is the point at which Brigade HQ was abandoned today – it probably got even warmer during the afternoon, but 35\u00b0C is more than enough to make casting problematic. Fortunately temperatures are due to drop in the next few days, we should be back to a more normal 23-24\u00b0C by Monday so we can catch up with any orders that had to be left unfinished.<\/p>\n

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

Onto normal Friday business – and since it’s Joy of Six<\/a> in Sheffield this coming Sunday, it’s only right that we should have a 6mm release today.<\/p>\n

We have a new set of 6mm Special Forces figures, scaled down by Martin Baker from our 15mm SAS figures<\/a>. Although they’re part of our sci-fi range, they would serve perfectly well as modern or near future figures. We’ve put them in the catalogue under the British as SAS figures, but at that scale they could be Spetsnaz, Seal Team Six, KSK, Rangers or whatever you need. That’s not to say that there’s no detail in the figures – Martin has put a lot into these tiny commandos. <\/p>\n

\"6mm<\/a><\/p>\n

\"6mm<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s tricky to adequately photograph figures that are 6mm tall, wearing black uniforms, black balaclavas and gas masks and carrying black painted weapons. So here’s a sample sprue that we’ve given a quick wash to make the detail stand out. The pack consists of six of these sprues for a total of 24 figures.<\/p>\n

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

SF300-163<\/a> – SAS Platoon – \u00a33.00<\/p>\n

We’ll also be bringing a few pre-release items to Jo6 with us, so you’ll be able to get hold of these a few weeks ahead of their releases on the website.<\/p>\n

We’ve remade and upgraded our two 6mm Neo-Soviet river patrol boats with new resin hulls packing in a lot more detail.<\/p>\n

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

This is a new 6mm air cushion tank landing craft – large enough to carry a platoon of tanks or a company of infantry on foot, it’s protected by four remote close-in weapon systems on the upper hull.<\/p>\n

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

In 2mm we have this new Mainline Terminus railway station based on Norwich station.<\/p>\n

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

We have two of our New Ukrainian VTOLs<\/a> scaled down from 15mm, the Chaplya APC and Leleka dropship (although only very few of the latter, so get in quick if you want some of these). We’re still waiting on the Voron attack VTOL, the first and second iterations of the master have had issues \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

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

And finally, we have two packs of brand new, hot-off-the-press Syrtian buildings to accompany the recently released fortresses<\/a>. Along with those and the new canal sections, you now have everything you’d need to make a Martian landscape. We’ll have a few packs of these but you’ll have to ask as we won’t have any display models.<\/p>\n
