Too much of a good thing can get to you and after weeks and weeks of Napoleonics, Steve decided he needed a break. Having for many years been a devoted necron fan, he still had plenty of necron stuff around the house, so decided to break out and complete the Tomb Stalker… I started with [...]

Well howdy there boys and girls…this week’s round up is very make and do focussed, but we have some models and rules first of all… We have in stock now the Crusader Rules which cover 1740-1900, Napoleonic period and the American Civil war, with a supplement available for the American period. New from Airfix the [...]

The month of February is a month of many markers. Mostly obviously there is the schmaltz fest that is Valentine’s Day, aka “The Day When the World Rose Economy Doubles”, and February is also notable for very few people knowing how long it is going to be this year… It is however, also, one of [...]

Hello and happy Friday folks, We have some new things for your delectation… From Battlefront Miniatures we have some Desert Buildings and Train Tracks… Whilst our 1/35 Tamiya range ever expands, taking over more of the office,  with a M51 and soldiers on bikes coming to us.

We really love seeing photos of what you’ve done with your tables and this week we have a submission from Kevin in Texas, who has (appropriately) made use of the wooden Western buildings. We especially like the sign-writing he has done on the buildings, and can’t wait to see more as his table grows. If [...]

We have lots of lovely new things in this week, and we have restocked to pre Christmas levels. For Italeri, Call to Arms, Dapol, Vallejo and  Zvedza if it exists we’ve probably got it! From Italeri we have new the M977 Hemtt, and 1:24 Willy’s Jeep… From Trent Minatures we have in the Caribbean Revolution Maroons, [...]

The English Civil War is, certainly when you live as close to Newark as we all do, a big part of  known history. The puritans with their apparently gloomy bear outlook, and the party too hard Stewart kings are well known to schoolchildren in the UK (particularly those who’ve done GCSE history). The shorthand version [...]

It’s not many blog posts, we’ll wager, that are essentially an ode to filing and gluing, but this one is. We recently gained a new little stand of tools, which isn’t an unusual thing (as Mrs Boss-man will tell you the office is nigh on over-run with stands that the boss just couldn’t say no [...]

Hellooooo, we have a proper Friday round up this week…oh yes you heard me right…an actual Friday round up… Forces of Valor (or Valour if you are a British English speaker) are best known for their die-cast figures, the bossman is a fan of their 1/32 scale  die-casts. Now they have released a range of plastic [...]
