We are pleased to announce that Pizarro Miniatures are now back in stock after a brief absence from the model figure market.
The company Pizarro Miniaturas Militares (PMM) has been taken over by another company Ingeniería y Proyectos en Ciencias y Humanidades (IPCH). They intend to continue with the figure ranges initiated by Pizarro.
The Black Anvil range of products are therefore back in stock and also include the new releases: Elite Viper Assassin, Desert Prince and Vampires. |

Another great day was had by all at the Welling Show 2008 held on Saturday 29th March. For those modellers who have never attended, it is worth making the trip especially if you are passionate about figures.
There are several competition classes besides the various club stands (again predominantly figure models interspersed with some tanks, trucks and planes). Highlights of the day were the various painting and sculpting demonstrations by a number of modellers. The Best of Show went to Callum Talbot. Photo galleries for the event can be found on Roy Hunt's website. |
HMM Issue 61 is now in stock.
Features include: Samurai, 1600-1867 ~ by Diego Ruina; Painting with Acrylics: a beginner's tutorial ~ by Euromodelismo; Pour l'Empereur ~ by Jim DeRogatis; Artist Profile: Bryan Krueger ~ by Bryan Krueger ; The MFCA Show 2007 ~ by Phil Kessling and Craig Whitaker.

As we announced recently, we will be gradually introducing the full range from The Lost Battalion. We have already received positive feedback about this and it seems that the kits most in demand are those from the Rollcall and the Fort Royal Review lines.
- Nevertheless, we would like to stock the items that you, as our customers, would be interested in. In this regard, we ask you to check out the kits on The Lost Battalion website and e-mail us details of your particular preferences. There is no obligation to buy but your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
