Work continues a pace on the new EWM webstore but we are still making new things for release. Here we feature a ruined building with additional "rubble piles". The building comes with some rubble, but you can really go for it with the rubble packs.


So Nigel Plumb, our resident "resin monkey" (His own name for himself) was playing with making a ruined building pattern from the odd miscast we get, or he makes, when casting our resin buildings. Some might say, that most of what he makes is a miscast, but I personally, would never be SO cruel as to condone such a sentiment! Anyway, fueled after working hours by the fumes from his day of resin casting, Nigel has created a bullet poke marked ruined building pattern which has now been turned into an EWM product. Good Job Mr Plumb.


The building comes as a flat pack, so easy to post. Its highly detailed as you can see, easy to build and painting is dead simple. The detail is easy to just base coat and highlight.

The rubble packs are extra and available as a separate pack. Ruined buildings look great, but they need piles of rubble around them to make them look right. Our building comes with some rubble, but you can make it even more special with the EWM rubble packs.

The building comes with destroyed floors, stair case, shattered roof, some rubble piles, highly detailed frontages pock marked with bullet and shell impacts. Someone has made a real stand here in this place, it has the scares to prove it. Its £21.50 GBP with instructions, supplied flat packed.

The rubble Packs are £9.50 GBP and can be used stand alone or some without new ruined building.


We have also been working on a new accessory pack for the Armourfast Sherman's, well any body's Sherman in 1/72 really. Its the American Sand bagged Armour "upgrade" for Sherman's. We have made these in "drop tested" plastic polymer. There are a few random plastic stowage accessories ranging from ammo box's, fuel cans, camo netting etc included in the kits.
These Sherman upgrades pack will be out shortly.

EWM's flexible latex roads and tracks are now seeing wide spread use, we keep noticing them in magazine pictures, blogs and used in published rule sets, which is great to see. We have just developed a new cobbled road section, a long curve, seen here on our latest coffee table chatter discussion. Its over 30cm long, curves gently to about 35 degrees and is highly detailed, eay to paint and very thin and flexible, just like the rest of our road and track products.



So, work progresses on the web EWM web store and web site, some images from the new store, to wet the appetite.

We have a tentative release go live date of 1st January 2017. Yes, new years day 2017. So after you have dealt with your hang over, you can peruse our new webstore and maybe, just maybe, we can temp you with some of our new offerings and products, first seen here on this new store. We have around 60 products to release on the new store.
The new site features FREE POSTAGE on orders over £150.00 GBP, a points based loyalty scheme which you can reclaim at ANY time on the store, easy to navigate menus, loads of pictures, news articles and updates…….

cheers

The building looks nice but the nice neat rows of bullet holes spoil it.

That building is very evocative of the old Airfix ruined building!

Easy enough to fill the bullet holes if you don't like them. I'd only bother if I thought I was going to use it for pre machine-age games.

Love your stuff and hope you dont think it too picky but the stairs seem to go the wrong way! Imagine someone climbing up them. They come up to a very narrow portion and directly into the wall with little room! Perhaps rotate the whole thing 90 degrees or at least set them back a bit more?

Once again you are to be commended for the wide variety of items. And upgrade sets for Sherman very welcome!

What scale is the building?

Tarleton18 Dec 2016 2:01 a.m. PST

Building looks good and I like the rubble piles………..

Whats that rowing boat next to the road?

I look forward to the new site, can't see me ever getting free postage though.

Hi Marc33594,
your right, I glued the stairs in the wrong direction and I was waiting for someone with sharpe eyes to notice the mistake (He says in a Captain Manwearing fashion!).
Cheers

Tarleton, David, its a first sneak peek at the site, which I am still building. The rowing boats are castings we are making for my old mates Alana and Michael at Perry miniatures. Complex cast, with 3 figures as part of the casting.
Cheers

ALANA Perry? What happened?

Overall, the building look quite good.
Personally, I would also prefer no bullet holes and to drill any I want myself. Flat walls would be easily filled, but some are in detail like the shutters.

Does the staircase fit if you place it the other way round?

Like the Sherman upgrades. Got some for Christmas so looking to spruce mine up a bit
