It is very unfortunate that a family matter has us pulling out of Go Modelling, the IPMS Austria national convention show, so our next appearance at a show will be in Hornchurch, in the UK, for the Southern Expo. As things stand at the moment, this may well be our last show in the UK for a long while, though we are poised to add a few dates this year were things to move in a more ‘positive’ way (for us) in terms of Brexit. Time will tell, it is just a shame politicians are taking so long to come up with a decision that will affect so many, and as things go, with so little time to make adjustments. But there you go…
The Southern Expo should see us release a few new items, 1/144 aircraft bits and some new Bananaaas! in particular. The last batch of releases, late January, included our three new 1/72 AFV kits, and it took us and the casters a bit longer than we thought to get all kits produced and shipped. So, apologies to all those who had to wait or are still waiting (the last kits were only shipped yesterday) to get their hands on those new kits. We have learned that releasing three new pretty complicated kits in one go is maybe not the best way to go! And, indeed, our next ‘batch’ of 1/72 AFV kits will only consists of a single vehicle..! This will be the Autocar U-8144-T, due out around mid-June 2019. This kit can be pre-ordered at a special price right now.
Anyway, we must stop rambling now and get back to work! There are after all only 19 patterns awaiting casting right now and our heads are still full of ideas and projects!!!
Happy scale modelling, Folks!
