I'm happy to share the latest addition to our ranges of Spanish Civil War flags in 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th scales altogether - the flags of several units belonging to the XIV International Brigade, otherwise known as "La Marseillaise" Brigade due to most of their members being French language native speakers.
Worth to mention that I've recently published too a further 1:56th scale set - Soldadetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15287249675712055860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774612932900220514.post-3956268642084989482024-02-24T19:12:00.002+01:002024-02-24T19:12:19.425+01:00A further Foreign Legion previewA few months ago I shared with you our first steps on a projected new 20mm figure set for Spanish Civil War - the Spanish Foreign Legion, a first batch of which was already shown in this installment. Their sculpting is complete now with a second batch making up for a full 15-figure set in total. Here you have a preview on these new greens:

Our first release of 2024 consists of a 1:100th scale Vickers 105/22 howitzer. This was a Spanish Army standard field gun manufactured in Reinosa under license, using British 18 and 25 pounder carriages. As with most of Spanish ordnance, Vickers guns were divided among both sides at the outbreak of SCW, being used on all fronts.

One last release before Christmas: three new 1:600 scale Age of Sail flag sets devoted to English and British ships along three different periods of History - with one set devoted to English traders prior to the Union Act with Scotland (1707), a second one devoted to the British East India Company between 1707 and 1801 and, lastly, a third one showing the Red Ensign from 1801 onwards.

I'm pleased to share our latest 1:600 scale Age of Sail ship model release. Now it's been the turn for a Japanese warship from the Sengoku Jidai and early Edo periods - the fearsome Atakebune (安宅船). Conceived as floating fortresses, atakebunes were primarily used as formidable boarding platforms, with little ordnance on board - generally four cannons, or six at most.
