New Release: 28mm 1/56 New World "Farmhouse" February 26, 2020 10:46

Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook will know that my latest project is wargaming (Sharp practice) the American Civil War (AWI to follow).

My research uncovered this building which was originally made with heavy baulks of timber and what looks like a clay filler between the wood. With the multiple canopied doors and windows, the building has a really interesting silhouette.

Suitable for French Indian Wars, American War of Independence and Civil War.

To get the heavy wood timber effect, the kit comes with pre-cut and engraved cardboard cladding sheets cut to simply glue in place.

Model shown here with Wargames Foundry Zouaves and Charlie Foxtrot Models "Picket Fences".

Hammerhead Show Nottingham February 21, 2020 06:57

I am so pleased to be trading at Hammerhead on 14th March this year.

After 2 years on a waiting list, there has been a cancellation giving me an opportunity to trade in Nottingham, the weekend after the West Midlands Military Show in Wolverhampton.

The addition to the New World collection will be complete and released before the shows with just instructions and packaging to be drawn.

PAW 2020 February 2, 2020 20:56

Plymouth Association of Wargamers (PAW) show was a great success. After a hectic week of catch up following laser repairs all went well.

Good chum Bill Jennings (ably assited by his son James) took the "Best Demonstration Game" trophy with his Sharp Practice Russian table. The table was populated with Charlie Foxtrot Models buildings, really nice scratch built trees and earthworks.

Well done Bill!

Next show will be West Midland military Show in Alumwell, Wolverhampton on 8th March.

Notice: Business as usual. January 27, 2020 15:37

After a fraught few days with both lasers down and out of action; today the repair guy fixed both and I am back in business.

The oldest order is just a few days old.

I am delighted to say that I am making inroads into orders that were placed while I had technical issues and I will be up to date and restocked by PAW, the wargames show in Plymouth this weekend.

Notice: Temporary disruption to service! January 23, 2020 16:31

Notice of temporary disruption to service:

I pride myself on getting orders out as quickly as possible and post twice a week.

This may suffer a bit as on 13th Jan one of my lasers developed a fault. I mail ordered a spare part which did not resolve the issue.

There has been no adverse effect on the business until now as I run two lasers.

This morning my back-up laser has developed a fault and I am unable to make any fresh kits until the engineer arrives to fix both machines.

Stock levels are fair/ good however movement trays are cut to order and cannot be cut in the short term. If in doubt, please can you email me at charliefoxtrotmodels@hotmail.com and I can check before you place an order.

As soon as this situation is resolved: I will post again. An engineer is due to visit the workshop on Monday or Tuesday ( Now confirmed Monday 27th Jan) so this may be resolved very quickly.

Thankfully all orders are up to date and pre-orders for Penarth this weekend are already on the van.

Stocks for Plymouth PAW on 1st / 2nd may be limited and I would recommend a preorder to avoid disappointment.

Colin (currently in melt down mode) ...on the bright side, I will get some design time in.

ROBIN Nottingham show cancelled! December 15, 2019 16:57

It is with regret that I need to advise you that the "Red on Blue in Nottingham" show ROBIN has been cancelled for 2020

Looks like Charlie Foxtrot Models will need to wait a while longer before I can get into a Nottingham based show.

I am sorry to disappoint any people who had planned to attend.

Colin

New Releases: 28mm 1:56 "Needle Memorial" by Debris of War and "Headstones" November 1, 2019 11:32

New releases to compliment the recently released Eglise (French Church). Resin cast "Needle Memorial" by Debris of War and "Headstones" cut from 2mm MDF.

It is odd how a different emotion is felt looking at these when compared to the "Graveyard" (also by Debris of War.)

New Release 28mm 1:56 "Eglise ( French Church ) in 2 versions. October 30, 2019 09:52

After months of research and designing I am pleased to release the 28mm 1:56 Eglise kit. A generic church in a French style with features taken from a number of buildings.

The model is available in 2 versions one "Plain Wall" for you to texture yourself (comes with card roof tiles) and one "Stone Wall" with engraved walls and engraved roof tiles.

This is the biggest kit I have made, using over 12 square foot of wood and will be a real centre piece.

A lot of designing has gone into this kit not only to convey realistic architectural detail but also to make it a very easy model to put together.

The painted kit was textured with polyfilla by Geoff from Purple Lion Creations. More of his outstanding work can be viewed here: https://www.purplelioncreations.co.uk/

New Release 28mm 1:56 "Stone Wall Arched Gate and Z wall" October 21, 2019 09:35

Two new pieces have been added to the existing "Stone Walls" set.

The arched gate and Z sections have been designed to make an imposing perimeter wall for the soon to be released Eglise (French Church). The sections can be used for domestic walling, farmyard or surrounding a chateau, park or cemetery.

The walls have been painted in the same style as the Stone Barn and finished with a polyfilla mortar.

Warlord Games Panzer IV is for scale purposes only.
