Ottoman Flagship
|
|
So, here we have it – the first of this year’s not-Salute releases. As an opener, we have the might of the Ottoman Air Fleet – the Abdül Aziz class Dig Battleship. This model replaces the older design of the same vessel. The Aziz is large semi-rigid airship with an armoured superstructure. The main armament […]

We Can Be Heroes
|
|
Regular Brigade watchers will know that we like to go all out each year for Salute, with an array of releases across our various ranges. This year was no different, with loads of shiny new models ready to roll. But, thanks to circumstances beyond everyone’s control, it’s not to be this time. We were all […]

Federation Fighters
|
|
This week we have four new sets of fleet scale fighters in our spaceship range; two South African and two PacFed. If we can be entirely candid for a moment, there as much for our benefit as yours, since both the old Petrel and Sea Wasp were tricky to cast so these new moulds will […]

Still Standing #2
|
|
After further measures were announced by Boris Johnson yesterday evening, we thought we’d post a further update. The Brigade workshop is pretty isolated, being situated on a farm. There are usually only a handful of other people working there in different units, none of whom are close to us, and we both get there by […]

Shoreham by the Sea
|
|
Right, the release schedule has been rewritten (mostly I just threw it all up in the air and noted where it landed) and we’re starting today with something from the early age of commercial air travel. We had a request for some Civilian Airfield buildings in the Small Scale Scenery to go alongside the existing […]

No Show #3
|
|
Well, it was probably inevitable, but Salute is off 🙁 Not an easy decision for the organisers, but inevitable in the current situation. It’s not a good year for shows, that’s already three gone of our planned nine events. And not great for small companies like us, as Salute represents a sizeable chunk of our […]

Still Standing
|
|
We’ve had several enquiries about whether or not we’re still open and able to ship orders, given the current COVID-19 situation – the answer to that is an emphatic yes. All the while we have supplies of metal and resin (we’re currently good for a couple of months) we can continue to produce models, and […]

New German Escorts
|
|
Today it’s the turn of the Kaiser’s aerial navy to get an upgrade. All of our German Aeronef destroyers, frigates and patrol craft are being replaced, and we’ve taken the opportunity to sneak in a new model as well. The Seydlitz winged Dig Gunboat has been beefed up with a larger fuselage, while the larger […]

Houston, that’s a go!

Just a brief note to say that the centrifuge is back up and running again – I’m now going full tilt to clear the small order backlog that has built up (which might take until early next week).

It must be nearly Salute again…
|
|
For us, it seems that a defining characteristic of an impending show is that some vital bit of kit will fail (ie the centrifuge motor failing a couple of days before Salute 2018…). The centrifuge is ailing again – the speed controller has given up the ghost and needs to be replaced. A new one […]
