Not one, but two parcels have arrived at Brigade Towers lately, bearing more prints of new models – lots of them. 2mm buildings, 15mm SF vehicles, spaceships and a few odds and ends as well.<\/p>\n

It’s going to take me a little while to work through all of them, clean them up and make them ready for moulding (including a dip in the infamous gunk tank<\/a>), but we thought we’d tempt you with a few previews.<\/p>\n

Firstly a 2mm model of St Mawes Castle<\/a> in Cornwall, a 16th C. castle built by Henry VIII. I made it only because I spotted it in the background of a photo taken by the Brigadieress’ father and decided I wanted to investigate a bit further. It was used in some capacity in just about every war fought by Britain up to and including WW2, so it’s usable in many eras of wargame.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0604\"<\/p>\n

This is a slightly unusual new item – bar armour, as seen fitted to various vehicles in Afghanistan. I’ve build two models, one set with four flat sheets of armour which can be cut and adapted to fit whatever vehicle you like, and another specifically designed to fit our new German Lynx APC. I have to give credit for suggesting the idea to customer David Buckle. We won’t be casting this in metal, instead it’ll be available as a print-on-demand item in our Shapeways store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spaceships next – reprints of the British capital ships, plus the impressive looking Dreadnought (which makes the Pommerania <\/a>look small !) and enough prints of the British fighters to immediately make production moulds.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0615\"<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0613\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, some 15mm previews. The package contained quite a few models – three new hulls and around a dozen turrets. Here you can see a comparison between the new Garibaldi heavy tank hull and the Montsabert (the Garibaldi is a big beast), followed by the British Artemis APC and, probably my favourite from this set, the all new Gallieni tank destroyer.<\/p>\n
