We will have quite a big surprise if you come to our stand, TG12, at Salute. We have decided to reveal the three-ups for six new plastic sets that we will be producing. There will be 37 figures (including two mounted) stuffed into our cabinets. We're not letting on what periods or armies they cover, so you'll have to come and find out! These do not include the Mahdist tribesmen or the British Napoleonic Hussars, which are with Renedra. For those not attending Salute, we will be putting pictures up on our site (plastic workbench) and here on TMP just after the show.
Among the attractions at our stand, there will be the esteemed author of Go Strong into the Desert, Lt. Col. Mike Snook (I'm sure he doesn't mind being called an attraction…?!), who'll be answering Sudan-related questions at 12.00 hours, 14.00 hours and 15.30 hours. If you haven't bought his book, I'm sure we can find one or two for you at our stand.
And last but by no means least, we'll have the new plastic Napoleonic Prussians (only available from our stand at the show) and the new plastic American Store (also available from Renedra, TG 13, next to our stand). We will be carrying all our plastic box sets and plastic command sprues as well - yes, including the Prussians.
Oh, I nearly forgot, the initial nine metal codes for the Napoleonic Prussians will be available for the first time at Dave Thomas's stand (TM08). After Salute, these will go on general sale.
