The following list of links are to sites suggested by one or more of the members of the society. We hope to expand upon this list as we find more places to explore on the web. We shall also endeavour to keep it up to date - there's nothing worse than a page of dead links !

Irregular Miniatures - inexpensive figures of all sizes in just about every period you can imagine.
Milicast - More high quality resin.
Frontline - Loads of inexpensive resin models.

Red Star Models - a mention for our old pal Jeff Spain who makes superb resin vehicles, mostly of Soviet origin - no website unfortunately.
