​ Dear All Well, 2024 is slipping by and there is already plenty of Christmas stuff in the shops believe it or not, Christmas seems to come earlier every year! As some of you will know the Thomas Gunn team have had a few weeks of switching and changing various month’s releases, planning for the medium/long term and moving warehouses. We have also been developing and finalizing new AFVs/ranges, plus some interesting additions to our established ranges. Due to shipping issues the long awaited first of our WW2 AFVs, the Marder 2, will be released in early November 2024. Having seen the completed Self-Propelled Gun, we think this is a classic for any WW2 German military AFV collector. We hope you will appreciate this month’s releases, figures spanning the depth of time, from the ancient world, the growth of an Empire, the Second World War to post WW2.

​ ACCPACK105A The Ark of the Covenant. with Rug, Gold jug and plate The Ark of the Covenant is a most sacred religious relic. Described as a wooden storage chest decorated in solid gold, with an ornamental lid. The Ark is said to contain the Tablets of the Law (The 10 Commandments), by which God delivered the Commandments to Moses at Mount Sinai. As well as containing Aaron's Rod and a pot of Manna. Legend maintains that the Ark disappeared during the Babylonian sacking of Jerusalem in 586 BC. Archaeologists believe there are no reliable records of the Ark's whereabouts after this date. With places such as Ireland, South Africa, Rome, Ethiopia, and even an American military warehouse being claimed where the Ark can be found. The Thomas Gunn Ark of the Covenant together with golden accoutrements can be found on our website and/or at your preferred dealer, ACCPACK105 A set is priced $49/£43.00 whilst stocks last. 1 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr 2 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr

World War 2.

21 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr

​ German WW2 AFV Crew The first four of our range of six German WW2 SP Gun crews have the flexibility to go with our new Marder and/or other German armour you may have in your collection. As a side note the new Marder is on its way to the frontlines, on a ship heading towards Thomas Gunn HQ, due in early November 2024. To spread your budget, we thought we would release these new crew figures a little earlier than the Marder.

​ SS110B SS Tankers Loading Alfie The War Dog. Alfie the War Dog, used to be Alfie the Lover, but after a visit to the vet, he no longer has the equipment to live up to that name. He then enlisted in the army and provided sterling service during his military career! These crew figures are significantly different from the original releases, both have camo trousers and the crew member waiting to pick up Alfie has a green 'Tank Top' on, one which we are sure was not an official issue. Two Figure SS110B SS set costs $110/£105 ANNOFF64. If you want a Panzer IV together with the new set, we are offering a Panzer IV plus SS110B. Costing $315/£299 saving you around $50. This is a limited offer, with the following Panzer IVs available in limited numbers: ACCPAK82A - 521 ACCPAK82B - 524 ACCPAK82C - 634 We will deliver on a first-order basis and please ensure you list in preference which tank you want in your first, second, and third choice. All Panzer 4's come with their respective commanders as per the original issue. 22 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr 23 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr 24 by Wayne 556517, on Flickr

​ French Resistance Capture and Questioning After years of subjugation, living under the jackboot, and having to endure the hardships of occupation, now is the chance for freedom and payback. In terror, the SS Officer has the indignity of being captured and whipped with his own pistol. The future looks uncertain for him, whilst the resistance fighter needs answers and she is willing to do whatever is needed to obtain them. A new edition that compliments the Female Resistance Fighter and SS Officer from our previous release. Look out for further releases in this range. SS160A. Colette Pistol Whipping SS Officer - Black Hair SS160B. Elise Pistol Whipping SS Officer - Brunette Limited to 50 in number per version The cost for each 2-figure set is $105/£99

Thanks for all your support and we appreciate your purchases great or small. There is a convoy of new AFVs on the way and we will be revisiting our established ranges in 2024, through 2025, and beyond. With some new ranges for Thomas Gunn in the pipeline, we are certainly keeping busy and out of mischief. All the items mentioned in this month's release are in stock and available beginning of next week. For now its adieu from the Team @ Gunn Club

 

[WesternOutlaw]

What a great collection this month. Tank loaders look great and appreciate another Egyptian Guard to add to the mix. The Arc is a fun one for ancient scenes as well as Afrikakorps. I like the French Resistance set which will pair nicely with last month's release (as pictured). Can never go wrong with more Praetorians.
Thanks! Will be an expensive month.

 

[Horus]

Yes the tank crew figures look great.
Will there be Wehrmacht versions ?

 

[villagehorse]

Always up for anything Ancient Egypt, cool vignette TG. Robin.

 

[Gunn Miniatures]
