October News – part IV – British pillboxes!

Carrying on with our latest round of releases we have added 6 new pillboxes to the British anti-invasion defences.

As always, these are available in a variety of scales, this time from 1/100 – 1/32

That’s it for October, but there’ll be another release next week – and to kick off November we’ll be adding an entire new army to our range!

October News – US Trucks!

After our last post (end of August), we took a wee break and suddenly Christmas is just around the corner!

However, it is what it is and we just get on with it, so with that in mind, here is our next release – US trucks and transporters (and a car)!

Covering a variety of vehicles from Ford WOA1 staff car right up to the monstrous M19 Diamond T980 Tank transporter, there are 6 new vehicles to help ferry your Allied troops around, create dioramas or just paint up because they’re actually really cool models.

Stay tuned for another release next week – more terrain!



August News – British Pillboxes!

This release will the last for a few weeks as we have a trade show next month and know that our orders will be increasing as people start Christmas shopping (sorry for saying it!) so we trying to get caught up with everything now to avoid delays later in the year. However we will be back with new releases in October!

So, what is it today? More pillboxes! 😃

We’re expanding the range with a few more LLA (Light Anti Aircraft) options and a camouflaged example. First up we have a couple of standard Types (a 22 and a 26) each with an attached LAA annex, then a weird unique example that we have named the “Triple Wing EC” (see the store listing for an explanation 😉 ) and finally a large infantry pillbox disguised as a brick house and available with range of roof options.

All are available in scales 15mm – 54mm.

This may be the last release until October, but we will still keep you up date to with WiPs, progress of Dunwick (still aiming for a Kickstarter this year!) and anything we’re up to, so keep checking up on us!



August News – German radar installations

While many people are aware of the Chain Home Low, RDF and other British innovations in radar during the 30s and 40s, the German were also developing their own. Innovations such as the Wurzburg and Freya radar technology meant that they were also not blind to incoming bombing raids.

This release features a few of these including Freya and Wurzburg radar, Opel Blitz radio trucks with field generators, generic radio and facility buildings and even a AA Flak 88 in a protective concrete emplacement.

As always, these are available in a variety of scales, this time from 1/100 – 1/32

A last release is still planned for later in August, so stayed tuned!



August News – More German vehicles…and they’re a bit odd!

During the war, the German army made use of many vehicles from all the nations it fought against. These “Beutepanzers” (in the case of armoured vehicles) were either simply repainted and reused or adapted as necessary, creating new tank destroyers, AA platforms and more. Additionally, in some cases German vehicles were pressed in service in roles they were not designed for, with the addition of anti-tank weaponry or light artillery (such as mortars).

This release adds 13 of these “ad-hoc” vehicles to German garage, ranging from the small – like the 5cm Pak38 armed SdKfz 250 and 8cm mortar carrying AMR35 to the huge VOMAG 8.8cm Waffentrager!

As always, these are available in a variety of scales, this time from 1/87 – 1/32

Further releases planned for later in August, so stayed tuned!



August News – Jungle defences release!

This one’s a bit late – sorry!

Last week saw the first of our August releases and we’ve started the month with some terrain.

Expanding on our Far East / Pacific range, we’ve added four different defensive structures including a small timber LMG bunker, a round concrete pillbox, a large rectangular log bunker and an open topped timber emplacement.

As always, these are available in a variety of scales, this time from 1/100 – 1/32

Further releases planned for later in August, so stayed tuned!
