We’re just under four weeks away from our next (and penultimate) show of the year, Colours<\/a> in Newbury on Saturday September 5th. This takes place in one of the grandstands at Newbury racecourse, which is a nice light and airy venue and always seems to be on a sunny, fresh autumn day (except for that time a couple of years ago when it was about 32\u00b0C…). It’s close to the M4 for easy access by car, or if coming by train it has its own railway station right outside the course. We haven’t seen a floorplan yet so we don’t yet know where you can find us, we’re usually near to the downstairs coffee shop.<\/p>\n

We’ll have the usual array of goodies, with more new releases planned before then – we should also have some pre-release bits and pieces for the 6mm sci-fi gamer. If you’d like to place an order in advance, that would be more than welcome. You can do so through the website, selecting the Pickup at Show shipping option so you aren’t charged postage. You can either pay in advance, or there’s a ‘Cash on Collection’ payment option if you’d prefer to settle up on the day (cash or card). Alternatively, just drop us an email<\/a> with a list of what you’d like to pickup.<\/p>\n

We’ll have the full range of packs of various types and sizes for our 6mm SF, Spaceship and Imperials Skies ranges but we’re unable to take the full ranges of individual models for those ranges, they’re just too vast now, although we try to being a good selection of the larger spaceships and Imperial Skies vessels in blisters. We’ll have all of the other main ranges (15mm SF, Hammer’s Slammers, Celtos, Small Scale Scenery), plus the 1\/700th coastal scenery range, 28mm SF, Germy’s 3mm, WWI Belgians, Magpie and Squadron Commander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
