I wanted to write this piece and publish it for the New Year, but that just didn’t happen … It’s part review of last year, part preview of the year to come with a bit of waffle in between.<\/p>\n

2014 – the Year of Mass Production<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last year you will doubtless have noticed a quantum leap in our rate of new releases, and also hopefully a similar improvement in our turn-around time on orders. There’s a very good reason for this, which is that I’ve finally gone full-time, and I’m now attempting to make a living from Brigade. Phil is still in a ‘proper’ job but remains responsible for all of our metal mould-making, and the fact that I’ve taken some of his other workloads means that he can concentrate on this and turn out moulds at a much higher rate.<\/p>\n

Last year we released 205 new codes – which is a figure that came as a surprise even to us, we didn’t realise it was quite so many ! More than half of these were in the 15mm SF<\/a> range as we made huge strides in our plan to replace all of the older models with new, 3D printed masters at a consistent 1\/100th scale. However, we also had significant releases in our Spaceships<\/a> range, the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range continued to grow, we released our first 3D printed Aeronef<\/a> model and, although there wasn’t much in the way of 6mm<\/a> vehicles, we did add to the very popular buildings range with more desert buildings plus some more advanced structures.<\/p>\n
