It’s been a busy few days – and unfortunately not with Brigade stuff, my real job seems to be hitting milestones almost daily which has meant late nights in the office and little time to progress with new models. Frustratingly, I have yet to have time to do anything with the first batch of castings from the mould that got us so excited last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, we have just taken delivery of a new batch of 3D printed models – these have already gone into the gunk tank for cleaning (the gunk tank being the family-sized jar of cleaning fluid that sits on the shelf in my office at home). This contains a number of new releases that we’re targeting for SELWG<\/a> this year, of which more will be seen when we get the models out of the tank and photograph them.<\/p>\n
