So we're already into the second month of the year, after what may well have been the longest 31 days ever (I think we said this last year, but it's true again!). But the Christmas backlog has gone and mail order is running smoothly again, and we've also been able to restore our 3Dprinted ranges to the website. One minor blip – the resin-casting pressure pot has sprung a tiny leak, but it's in for repair today so won't affect production.
In just under three weeks' time, we'll be attending our first show of the new year, Cavalier in Tonbridge on Sunday, February 22nd. This is a nice little local show, and was also the first show that either of us attended as fresh-faced, spotty youths way back in the mists of the 1980s (Brigade Models made its first-ever sales on the bring-and-buy table here).
That's followed less than a week later by Hammerhead in Newark on Saturday the 28th. This is one of the larger shows that we attend, beaten for size only by Salute.
We'll have the usual array of bits and pieces with us – as always, we'll have the full range of packs of various types and sizes for our 6mm SF, spaceship and Imperials Skies ranges, but we're unable to take the full ranges of individual models for those ranges, they're just too vast now. We'll have all of the other main ranges (15mm SF, Hammer's Slammers, Celtos, Small Scale Scenery), plus the 1:700th coastal scenery range, Germy's 3mm, WWI Belgians, Magpie, and Squadron Commander. We're not yet sure how much we'll have of the 28mm 3Dprinted models or the WWI vehicles, as we're still restocking those as fast as we can.
If there's anything specific that you'd like, then you can order in advance for either show. You can do this via our website using the Pickup at Show shipping option so that you don't pay any postage. You can choose to pay for it in advance, or on the day using the Cash on Collection payment option.
We've updated the show calendar on the front page of our website so you can see the others that we're attending this year.
