Finally Facing My Waterloo
|
|
For ages I’ve been planning to add a set of Waterloo buildings to the Small Scale Scenery range. To be honest I have also spent some of the time putting them off, since my first initial look into them showed that quite a bit of research would be needed along with a measure of educated […]

Small Scale Eastern Front
|
|
Following on from last week’s Celtos Gaels post, another selection of photos that fell between the Salute cracks was this fine selection of Small Scale Scenery from Charles Rowntree. Like a number of other gamers, he likes to use our 1/1000th scale buildings with 6mm figures so that they are more in line with the […]

The Brigadier’s New Clothes

Celtic Colours
|
|
Unfortunately, Salute tends to be so all consuming for the month or two before the show that just about everything else falls by the wayside. Andre Khoo sent us photos of some very well painted Celtos figures earlier in the year and, to our shame, we’ve only just found time to post them. But here […]

Fly Like an Eagle
|
|
The skies above the battlefields of the world of Hammer’s Slammers:The Crucible are not the safest place to be; computer guided powerguns knock down just about anything that flies, from aircraft, VTOLs, air cars, even missiles and artillery shells. Nevertheless, there are a number of units that still field VTOLs in the combat zone for […]

Italian Stallion
|
|
Today we switch from spaceships to Aeronef, as the new Italian battlecruiser Grande Ammiraglio Silvio la Verde steams onto the website. The sleek lines of the vessel mask a powerful armament and ships of the class often form the core of an Italian battle squadron. VAN-1809 – Grande Ammiraglio Silvio la Verde class Battlecruiser – […]

The Zugspitze is a four-piece metal design, while the cruisers are all single-piece castings with separate gun pods where appropriate. We’ve also revamped […]
