It’s taken a week or three, but the first of the 15mm Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> models have now arrived on the website. To start with we’ve put up the Slammers themselves, including both the original vehicles and the uparmoured Friesland Defence Force models, plus a couple of other blower tank variants from other mercenary units.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All of the resin parts come from fresh moulds – as we posted earlier<\/a>, we had some issues with the original Ainsty moulds not liking the resin we use, so it seemed simpler to remould pretty much everything (one of two of the newer moulds behaved OK so we can still use those until they expire).<\/p>\n

The website has been given a thorough going over too, with all of our Hammer’s Slammers models, both 6mm and 15mm, being pulled out onto their own dedicated section of the website<\/a> rather than being mixed in with our other 6mm and 15mm ranges (this is purely for convenience so that the Slammers stuff is easy to find). This has meant a bit of upheaval, with some items changing product code and the files moving about on the website – which inevitably means that many of the links from the blog will no longer work, although I will find and fix as many as I can. I’m still tweaking\/fixing the website and blog, so links and pages may appear, disappear, break, get fixed and generally be all over the place for a little while…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The other, non-Slammers vehicles – the GD-1000 series GEVs and Dragoon half-tracks – will be on the website as soon as we can manage it. We have brand new moulds for the half-track hulls but we are making fresh moulds for the metal parts of both sets of vehicles which will be a week or two. And we haven’t forgotten the decal sheets, they need sorting through to determine what levels of stock we have.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here’s a list of what’s immediately available:<\/p>\n

HS15-111<\/a> – M2A4 Blower Tank – \u00a39.00
\nHS15-111a<\/a> – M2A4F Command Tank – \u00a39.00
