Two new buildings that are local to us in Maidstone - both Art Deco commercial buildings, one very familiar to Maidstonites and the other that could provoke a wave of nostalgia...

Back to our Rootes Brigade are from Maidstone – the one in Kent, the Garden of England, rather than any of our namesakes in the USA, Canada or Australia ! As part of our Small Scale Scenery range we’re st…

A couple of weeks ago we attended the Joy of Six show at Sheffield Hallam University. And so did John Treadaway, who put on a Hammer's Slammers game (using the desert terrain that Tony built and that featured on the Maidstone Wargames Society blog a while back). John has written up the game on the Hammer's Slammers website - we've also nicked a few photos to whet your appetites.

Suit Up ! Germy’s been busy again – this time, creating a number of new 6mm Power Armour figures for us. These suits are more like small walkers, still one-man individual units but taller than a …

Here's a slight oddity - it's the original design prototype that we created when developing the Agricultural Colony range of 6mm buildings. It's a perfectly good building and looked fine on screen when we designed the 3D model. But when printed out, it just looked a bit too much like a Swiss mountain chalet, or even Granny's cottage in the woods from Little Red Riding Hood....

The Show's Over

The Show’s Over So that's it - Salute is over for another year. It's a bit like Christmas in that we spend weeks preparing for it, then it's all over in a day. We had a very busy time again, with the two of us plus s

A final Salute round-up of the new releases for Saturday.

Apathy, apathy, apathy…

Quite a while ago I painted a house and I was very happy with the results. Buoyed by the success I started on some more. And then. Well nothing really.
