We (Brigade Models) have a couple of new models in our range of Small Scale Scenery, both ACW forts – Sumter and Palmetto. They're ideal for 1/1200th/2mm scale games.

I can envision lots of uses for the Fort Palmetto. Nice models. |

Nice. I would love to see Brigade come out with Fort Pickens and Fort Barrancas to complement the Fort McCree model. This would provide all 3 masonry forts guarding Pensacola during the US Civil War. And then they could move on to Forts Morgan, Gaines and Powell for Mobile and Forts Jackson and St Philip for New Orleans. Wouldn't that be cool? OBW |

@OldBlackWater – you're planning to keep me busy then  ? |

Very nice, I'll be picking these up when I get the chance |

Nice work as usual. Where's my star fort? :-) I would like to have at least one small star fort in this scale. I have an immediate need to depict the fort of San Juan de Ulúa at Veracruz, Mexico, but even after that, I have a ton of Brigade Models town/city buildings for AoS gaming and I need Vauban architecture forts to complement it. If I try to scratch build them myself, it will take a year or two and still not look as nice. BM models are well worth the money to me. - Ix |

PS: As long as we're all making unsolicited requests for future Brigade Models small scale scenery, I second OBW's request for the Mobile and New Orleans forts. - Ix |

Tony, After you get the Gulf forts done, I think its pretty clear with this release of Ft Sumter and the Palmetto Battery that you've committed yourself to finishing the defenses of Charleston Harbor.; I look forward to seeing Ft Johnson and Castle Pinckney, dirt fortresses like Ft Wagner and Ft Beaureguard, and finally if you want to sell me multiple copies of Sumter and Moultrie, I think you could release mid-late war versions of both-Ft Sumter reduced to rubble, and Moultrie reinforced heavily with dirt embankments-sandbags etc. OBW |

Yellow Admiral, if you would send the specifics of the star fort you are thinking of to me at daftrica 89 @ yahoo . com I will take a try at making a 1/1200 model of it out of blue board I have been working up the nerve to do a star fort in 28mm and making a smaller (OK, much smaller) model might just jump-start my efforts Include your mailing address and I will send it to you |
