As promised, more new releases today. We’re moving down in scale from the 15mm and 6mm buildings of last week and back into our 2mm range.<\/p>\n

We have two much requested items that we snuck into production at the very last minute (and which sold out at Salute) – a set of Norman village and agricultural buildings plus an accompanying set of churches. Most of these buildings are based on the 6mm items in our Shapeways 3D-printed range which, in turn, were researched for the Pegasus Bridge<\/a> project a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

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

\"SSS-8034\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The church set includes the famous one at St Mere Eglise which was taken by the 82nd Airborne on D-Day and on which Pvt John Steel caught his ‘chute and dangled from the steeple for the duration of the battle.<\/p>\n

\"StMereEglise\"<\/p>\n

Also included is the church at Benouville, close to Pegasus Bridge. This was hit by a PIAT round on D-Day in an effort to dislodge a sniper. There’s also a third, more generic church and, as an added bonus a Mairie (town hall), also from Benouville.<\/p>\n

As if that wasn’t enough, I’ve also added the Type T2 Hangar to accompany the recently released RAF Airfield set. This resin model will extend your airfield to handle much larger aircraft.<\/p>\n
