Another bunch of models have just become available on our Shapeways<\/a> store – two more Normandy buildings, and three water towers. Yes, three ! Why ? No idea really, I just sat down one day and decided to make them …<\/p>\n

The two Normandy buildings are more variations on a similar theme, as I strive to make enough variety to cover my Pegasus Bridge<\/a> table. All of the buildings in our range are based on real ones that I photographed while on holiday.<\/p>\n

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

Now for the water towers. First, we have a fairly straightforward concrete ‘mushroom’ tower, based on the Roihuvuori<\/a> one in Helsinki, Finland, although much scaled down – the real thing would be be about 6.5″ high at 1\/300th scale !<\/p>\n

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

Next up is a spheroid tower, based this time on one at Darwin Airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Finally, and my personal favourite, a British 30s water tower based on one at Tilehurst <\/a>near Reading, complete with a first floor viewing gallery !<\/p>\n

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

I promise some better photos soon, just as soon as I’ve painted these …<\/p>\n

We’ve also been through our entire Shapeways store and reviewed our pricing. In the process we’ve knocked a little bit off the price of just about all of the models, so they’re even better value now.<\/p>\n

Salute 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have an ever-increasing number of 3D models on our Shapeways Store<\/a> which are printed to order – we don’t generally hold any stock. However, if you want to avoid postage costs, we are taking advance orders on these models to be collected at Salute 2012<\/a> – just e-mail us<\/a> a list of your requirements. We will then order these from Shapeways, and you can collect them on the day. Because of the lead-time on Shapeways production, we must have any orders by the end of Sunday April 1st at the latest<\/strong>. You can either pay in advance or on the day – but please note that we can’t offer any discount on Shapeways items. You will be able to see many of our Shapeways creations on the day at the Maidstone Wargames Society<\/a> Pegasus Bridge game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
