Slava Ukraini!
|
|
The New Ukrianian Army was formed from the core of the Zaporoskiye Brigade when their commander, Colonel Orlyk, decided to retire to his homeworld of New Ukrainia and emulated Alois Hammer by taking most of his troops with him. After he was elected president, he amalgamated the Zaporoskiyes with the existing local NU troops to […]

Bifurcating Monorail
|
|
I had a couple of days off last week so we’re a bit behind, hence today’s new release coming out a few days late (the paint on the ones in the pictures is barely dry…). When the 6mm Monorail was released we had some requests for a Y-track piece that allowed junctions to be created […]

What lay beneath – part 1
|
|
I seem to be playing catchup with long abandoned 15mm building projects at the moment. So here is another one! Several years ago I had a bit of an accident whilst casting one of our advanced buildings. It certainly didn’t turn out as planned. After discovering the house in a box this week I finally […]

Rome, Sweet Rome
|
|
We have a pair of new additions to the Roman buildings in our Small Scale Scenery range this week. First we have a 1/1000th rendition of the Basilica of Maxentius in Rome. Roman basilicas were public buildings that served a variety of purposes, and this example is a particularly large and impressive edifice with a […]

Mixing things up
|
|
Against all the odds there has actually been a bit more progress on my little 15mm township. Based on past performance this post is several years ahead of schedule. The majority of the buildings that I’m planning to use will come from either our Desert Dwellings or Desert Domes ranges. However I thought that it would be […]

Looks Like We’ve Got Us a Convoy
|
|
Today sees the release of new redesigned versions of our British Aeronef merchant vessels. The old models of the Pearless, Orama and Shillito have been replaced by new sculpts, all featuring resin hulls with metal parts – and looking much smarter with lots more detail, cargo cranes etc. The Orama, the largest of the vessels, […]

Jump They Say
|
|
This week, we have these very handy Jump Gates – ideal for spaceship games as objectives or deployment markers. Each one is a three part casting – the panels/fins are separate from the rings, and they’re interchangeable so you can swap them round. You get one of each type per pack, enough to make three […]

Final Tally
|
|
Last weekend saw the end of the discount/charity donation period for our new Yenpalo 15mm vehicles and figures. And since those were the last of our planned Salute 2020 lineup, we thought it was time to work out the final total that we’ve collected for the HEROES NHS charity. Overall the sale of our Salute […]

Alien Aces
|
|
This week releases bring some new fighters for our Squadron Commander game. The Yenpalo receive a pair of craft, the Shynil Light Interceptor and the Axopo Heavy Fighter. They have distinctive hexagonal thermal-resistant paneling and closed down cockpits with only a very small vision slit – is has to be assumed that the Yenpalo pilots […]

A Time of Prosperity
|
|
We’re back in 15mm again today, with some brand new Hammer’s Slammers vehicles. One of the more memorable stories in the series is Rolling Hot, which deals with the campaign on the planet of Prosperity and particularly the story of Captain June Ranson and the relief of the siege of the city of Kohang by […]
