So Salute is over, which is a relief in some ways – the last week or so got a bit manic. We had a good day, saying hello to many gaming friends from all over the country and beyond (it was great to finally meet a Swedish gamer who I’ve corresponded with for over 20 years), and of course also shifting a considerable quantity of resin and metal !<\/p>\n

We do have a couple of post-show notices – I think there were two gentlemen who made large purchases and left a small item behind (both my fault – I put the items on the stand and obviously missed packing them into their respective bags at the end of the transactions). In both cases I spotted it almost immediately and tried to find them but they’d already disappeared into the crowd. So if you’re missing a) a Russian Aeronef torpedo group, or b) a pack of satellites, drop me an email and I’ll post them on, or find us at a subsequent show. Unfortunately I don’t have email addresses for you so can’t be proactive and contact you myself.<\/p>\n

I’m a little behind with mail order, but should catch up by the end of the week – apologies if you’ve had to wait an extra couple of days, I was hoping to get away with no disruption but couldn’t quite manage it.<\/p>\n

OK, onto the main business of the post – the first tranche of new releases from Salute is hitting the website this week. And the very first items are in the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range – the City Hall, stone bridges and four lighthouses.<\/p>\n

Die Alte Stadthaus<\/strong> is based on Berlin’s old City Hall<\/a>, but we’ve altered the overall dimensions a bit to make it an 80x80mm square which fits nicely with the sizes of our other City Block<\/a> models. The real one is roughly that size but isn’t square. It’s a two-piece resin casting, with the domed tower as a separate part.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pack of stone bridges<\/strong> are the same length (40mm) as the girder bridges<\/a>, and come cast in metal in four different designs based on UK and European prototypes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The four metal lighthouses<\/strong> are again based on real world models, two French and one each from Germany and the UK.<\/p>\n
