[WBritain]

Hi Everyone,

Bachmann in the UK will have a special trunk show/preview of the production of sample #20099 - Zulu War - British Royal Artillery Gun Team No.1 - "Desperate Escape" at select ModelZone stores in August (1 month before actual release).

Stores and times are:

Birmingham – Mon 13th Aug (afternoon til 6pm)
Liverpool – Wed 15th Aug (afternoon til 5pm)
Holborn - Sat 18th Aug (morning til 1pm)




This is a great opportunity to see this amazing piece up close. Worldwide we have pre-sold over 70% of the limited edition run.

Look forward to seeing you at one of these shops. And if you miss us there then it can be seen again at Magpie in the UK on September 8; in Toronto, Canada at the OMSS show on September 8 and of course at the big Chicago Toy Soldier show September 21-23.

Thanks,
Richard and Malcolm

Excellent point Brett - Both Military Workshop and Peter Nathan will be receiving their sets direct from our Asian vendor, so should see them pretty speedily...but please don't rub it in with the other guys around the world, and for those of you in US and UK feeling left out - keep in mind Australia is usually 2-3 weeks behind so we owe them this one! And one last caveat of course, this is a VERY complex set and as we all know things can happen -so far it is all looking great - running on time and in really great shape, but as always, I want it right before I want it on time.

Mike - with all the fine harnessing we have had to attach the mounts to the base - simply no way to get the detail wihtout having it all assembled - in the past Britains did some sets that required harness assembly and it never worked well - too fiddly, too prone to break, and too clunky.

Thank you for the kind comments.
