![]() ![]() They’ve now moved from the must remake list to the finally done list, and at the same time we’ve been able to add a patrol boat to each nation’s fleet. Quite high on our list of ‘Aeronef models we really must remake’ are some of the small torpedo craft – the US and Japanese ones particularly, for which we’ve never had a reliable production mould. Briagde Models – Pacific Torpedos – Aeronef We’re hoping to post some blog articles over the coming weeks about making various buildings from our selection of components, to show what can be done with them. Just use your imagination – I have a pair of hangars I made from a salad crisper box that came with an old fridge! ![]() A further option is to use them to dress up commercial vacform plastic buildings ( Amera Mouldings have several North African buildings) or MDF ones (I have a couple of Middle-Eastern buildings from Blotz that I’ll be looking at in the near future). Random bits of plastic or polystyrene packing also make a good basis for a building, or vac-formed blister packaging also works. These are a couple of pounds from DIY stores, but if bought in bulk from specialist trade counters (eg Screwfix or Toolstation) they can be as cheap as 50p each. ![]() A single box will make a simple house, you can stack them to make a small apartment block or there are double-depth boxes that can be used for garages or workshops. The range also includes an all-important set of roof vents for ventilation, along with larger industrial and hangar doors, chimneys, balconies and awnings.įor many of these buildings we’ve used UK-pattern surface mount pattress boxes – these are the plastic boxes that electrical sockets are fixed to. If you need more flexibility, it’s a simple matter to score along the lines between each section and snap them apart to separate the individual doors and windows. This means that to create a simple building, you just need to stick one of these pieces to the side of a small box or piece of packaging, and there you have a basic house. #ONE PIECE FOLGE 710 WINDOWS#Rather than separate doors and windows, we’ve created a set of frontages, all around 70-80mm long, made up of a variety of doors and windows cast as one piece. The 15mm SF community seems to be a very creative bunch of people who come up with lots of clever items of scenery from all sorts of bits and pieces, and we thought that a set of building parts would help towards this. We’ve been working for a while on a set of 15mm sci-fi building components for scratchbuilders. HS6-3613a – Astrapi AA Vehicle – £1.00 Brigade Models – Building Bitz – 15mm HS6-3611b – Machete LM/2 with laser/missile system – £1.25 The two vehicles pictured below are in the silver/black parade colours of the NF Iron Brigade. The experimental M2A3 carries a heavy ruby laser in the same small turret this variant wasn’t adopted by the Slammers but saw service in the Neu Friesland army. The M2A1 version has a smaller turret than the ubiquitous M2A4 version but still mounts the 20cm powergun. The Slammers regiment themselves get two new variants of the Icarus M2 blower tank. The Legion also gets the Kopis Recce vehicle with an open turret mounting twin lasers, and the Astrapi AA variant mounting the same weapons in a high-speed ball mount. The Machete AA vehicles are based on the chassis of the Rapier heavy tank and come in two variants – one with four tri-barrel powerguns, the other with twin rapid fire lasers and Manta missiles. Today’s new release is a mix of new 6mm models in the Hammer’s Slammers range – models that have already been released in 15mm and are now making the move down to our smaller scale.Īnder’s Legion get four new support vehicles to complete their ToE. ![]()
