Just a gentle reminder to get those Colours<\/a> orders in sooner rather than later; we have truncated working weeks both this week (due to a family wedding) and next (August bank holiday) so we’ll be even more stretched for time. <\/p>\n

In case you need tempting, we’ll have some new 6mm bits and pieces available on the day ahead of their scheduled website release dates. We showed the large air-cushion tank landing ship <\/a>before Joy of Six, and we have a couple of other conventional landing craft to accompany it; an open tank landing craft, and an infantry landing craft with enclosed load space and a bow mounted remote weapon turret. We’ll have small numbers of each with us on the 5th.<\/p>\n
