New Release: 28mm 1:56 Eastern Front Church July 26, 2016 09:53

To act as a focal point to any Eastern European / Russian rural setting this church kit is now available instore.

If you are gaming Napoleon's Russian "adventure", early operation Barbarossa or pulp games the Eastern Front Church will make for a good village centre piece or objective.

Crammed with detail, this large 311mm long kit is extremely easy to put together. Heavy foundation timbers, "carved" barge boards and a resin onion dome are just a few of the authentic features to be found on this model.

My thanks to John Gephart from Chandler USA for sending me such an inspiring image of this church. Thanks also to Bob Emmerson of "Mad Bob Miniatures" for casting the resin onion dome.

This kit is fully compatible with the other models in the Eastern Front range. At the time of writing, there are 4 rural dwellings, a lodge and a small cabin. I am now sourcing further imagery to add to this collection.

New Release:"Wooden Barn" July 5, 2016 11:40

The first release in a collection titled "New World".

The Wooden Barn has a large 200mm x 180mm footprint and has many authentic features. Removable roofing, a hayloft, a ladder and a set of barn doors in the open position. My thanks goes to Laurie Walsh (Battlegroup South) for the concept drawings that made this kit possible. Look out for more kits in this range to include AWI and ACW buildings.

New Release: "Table Edge Terrace" British Version June 9, 2016 00:00

To add to the set of terrace houses the English version of the "Table Edge Terrace" is now instore.

With a lower pitch, no dormers or shutters this British looking kit can be used for modern day, alternative history (such as Dad's Army) games as well as VBCW.

Give your table a built up look by going right up to the table edge. Rapid deployment of troops straight into buildings is a real bonus in attack / defend scenarios.

Like the French version, this table Edge Terrace" is fully compatable with both versions of the "Terrace Front Yard".

Based on the 28mm version the 20mm "Ruined House 1" has a number of additional features.

New Release: "Swimming Pool" May 20, 2016 10:51

Whether it is to grace the back garden of your WWII French Chateau or the zombie infested gardens of suburbia the "Swimming Pool" adds to the range of water themed terrain pieces. 

Using a dry-fix clear 3mm acrylic sheet to provide the water effects, the "Swimming Pool" effect is enhanced with wavy tiles engraved to the pool floor. The steps are removable so, if a Koi pond is required, leave the steps off and glue the tiled area upside down. Paint fish on the underside of the acrylic as required.

New Releases: Movement Trays / Morale Tracker May 10, 2016 17:06

I had the pleasure of meeting Richard Clarke (Too Fat Lardies) at Exeter Legionary and bought a copy of his new ruleset "Sharp Practice". I am so excited about getting my Front Rank Bavarians painted to play this game.....I also HAD to buy the Sharpe DVD boxset to watch while I paint. 

I have just drawn a range of movement trays and Morale Tracker which may be suitable for rules such as Sharp Practice.

8 and 10 Man Trays, 6 Man Skirmish, 5 Man Artillery Trays and Morale Tracker are now in this webstore.

To compliment the new Desert / Semi-arid collection, the "Small Tree Bases" are now released. Based on the popular "Tree Bases" the "Small Tree Bases" circular stands are 50mm in diameter and are more suited to smaller trees / shrubs or slender palm type trees. Four different styles are available and when combined with the "Oasis" released last week, can quickly populate a "dry" table.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you fixing smaller green trees for other genres of wargaming!

Palm trees can be found in the Desert / Semi-arid collection on this site.

New Release: "Ponds 1 & 2" April 13, 2016 19:16

Probably the simplest and most versatile pice of terrain I have ever designed. "Ponds 1 & 2" are a quick and simple way of getting impassible terrain on your table top.Suitable for so many scales and genres of wargaming and railway layouts.

Assembly is easy: glue the "frame" to the base and, once dry, paint the bottom. An acrylic insert (included in the kit) is placed dry onto the painted base. Add your usual basing materials: gravel, flock etc. to cover the seam.

In my examples, lilly pads and duckweed have been painted on top of the acrylic.

Please read the previous blog, giving a step by step tutorial on how I achieved the effects.

Both ponds are available now in the webstore......
