Phil is making some sort of statement about working at Brigade (!), with 1:1000th scale models of a Workhouse and Gaol for our ever-expanding Small Scale Scenery range.
The workhouse is a rather unusual three-winged design in a hexagonal outer wall, based on the long-demolished one in Abingdon, Berkshire.
The Gaol is also from Abingdon, with a similar three-wing design but a different layout to the grounds. The building is still standing, although it's been converted to luxury flats – the original walls have gone, so Phil has had to create these himself, based on those around Maidstone prison.
SSS-8162 – Gaol – £3.00 GBP
SSS-8163 – Workhouse – £3.00 GBP
At the opposite end of the luxury scale, we have newly designed versions of the Majestic, Stirling Castle, and Kaiserin Elizabeth class ships, all with resin hulls and metal parts. The largest, the Majestic, even has a small swimming pool on the afterdeck surrounded by sun loungers, for passengers who wish to swim in the sky!
And representing the more grimy, utilitarian face of merchant shipping, we also have a new version of the French Rochefort heavy merchant, featuring a deck festooned with cranes and cargo hatches.
VAN-5001 – Majestic class Passenger Liner – £8.50 GBP
VAN-5006 – Kaiserin Elisabeth class Liner – £4.00 GBP
VAN-5009 – Rochefort class Heavy Merchant – £8.00 GBP
VAN-5010 – Stirling Castle class Liner – £5.00 GBP
