    News Update June 30, 2025 - Gladiators

    Did think it was only a matter of time before Galdiators got the 'JJD Treatment', they do look great and i will be collecting, as i think they will make a great range, plus not too big a range and would fit on the 50cm X 50 cm cabinet shelves i have, with a bit bit of hobby sand spread round to...

    Redcoats Displays

    Set up a couple more cabinets for my ceremonial. Plus, in another room, cabinet for my small-scale tank and AFV collection. Have to decide whether or not to do another 1 or 2 for my WB His of the British Army, US Army Gloss and French Indian War gloss.

    An update for my friends!

    Agree - Andy from K&C and John from JJD have pushed the hobby forward in leaps and bounds. Would be a blow to the industry if they retired.

    Here is Paul's side deck of what he can do, but if you find something that you want printing, he is very flexible and could accommodate your requirements. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JVB5jf5oDqXnxpSlpqwk5CMc-XzaurhwT3XeHxklOGM/edit?pli=1&slide=id.p#slide=id.p

    Frederick Forsyth RIP

    Known for Day of the Jackel and Dogs Of War, read all his books, ICON and The Fist Of God are masterpieces. I miss those thrillers pre mobile phone tech, the George Smileys, the Ipcrest Files, etc. Gerald Seymour's latest character in his Spy/Thriller Novels, Jonas Merrick, is a throwback...
