Hi there ! We’ve been planning to add a blog to our site for some time now, and here it finally is ! And if I’d known how easy it was going to be to set it up, I’d have done it ages ago …<\/p>\n

Anyway, the plan is to reserve the front page of the Brigade website for ‘proper’ news – releases, show dates, sales etc. This blog will be less formal and used for other snippets of info’, sightings of our models out on the web, neat modelling or painting ideas, useful links and so on.<\/p>\n

It’ll probably end up supplanting the Design Studio and we’ll use the blog to preview new stuff on our workbenches.<\/p>\n

Both Phil and I will be posting on a very irregular and haphazard basis as the fancy takes us !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
