It's April which means that Salute is just a few weeks away and it looks as though the guys have been putting in the overtime and burning the candles late into the night yet again in preparation for the big event so enjoy the latest straight from the Brigade towers blog. Zac In contrast to yesterday's near gales, today was a bit calmer and warmer – so perfect weather for casting outdoors again. As well as casting for orders and Salute stock, I was able to try out some new moulds for both the 15mm Polish half-tracks and the Soviet spaceship carrier hull. As always with new moulds, it takes two or three castings to work out all of the gremlins and find the bits that need particular attention to avoid air bubbles. The half-tracks in particular were troublesome, but the castings got progressively better as I went along and I ended the day with assembled versions of each of the three hull types. Most of the metal parts such as tracks, wheels, turrets and hatches are existing components so I was able to put some together – only the guns for the support version have yet to be moulded.
I also photographed some castings of the new 15mm infantry while I was prepping them for production moulds. This is the first pack, eight pulse rifle-armed grunts.
Finally, the new turret for the Shaman Firefly has arrived – here it is sitting on a hull, next to the existing version so you can see the differences.

I liked the previous Shaman, but that new turret is superb. |

Nothing to do with me i just copied and pasted the latest news from the Brigade towers blog, all the latest vehicle designs come from Tony even those superb looking generic troops to but they were sculpted by the very talented Martin Baker. |
