Stocks updated for 1:100 scale

Just as already done with other scales, I've managed to inventory what number of each 1:100^th scale model I still have in stock --with a few pleasant surprises, that can be checked on the corresponding page of this very same blog.

Also, I've taken advantage of such update for setting on sale the production prototypes of two SCW models that already existed in 1:72^nd scale, but not in 1:100^th scale yet: the armoured carrier and unarmoured tractor versions of IGC Sadurní tank. Both are sold as they were cast --i.e. with no driver included. Don't miss the chance, because both models are truly unique!

Now I'm going to figure out how to keep available to public our free download PDFs.

Zvezda products sale

Just as with Peter Pig's figures and models, when I briefly reopen Minairons miniatures webshop next month, I'm going to offer a 50% discount offer on all products from Zvezda --a renowned Russian model kit company whose products I've been retailing for the past few years.

Such sale comprises all of their WWII-related 1:144^th scale plastic aircraft, 1:100^th scale plastic vehicles and 1:72^nd scale plastic figures and ordnance, as well as their GNW-related 1:72^nd scale figures - all those we do have in stock, I mean.

Such sale is going to last just until end of stocks, naturally.

Peter Pig products sale

As a first step in the gradual process of dismantling Minairons miniatures webshop, I've thought it logical to cease retailing some third party products, such as those from Peter Pig --a British make mostly known for their 15mm white metal figures, as well as their 1:100^th scale resin or metal vehicles and accessories.

Such sale is going to consist of a 50% discount offer on all products Peter Pig in our website, currently comprising their 4mm Age of Sail ships and naval accessories, as well as their 15mm SCW and WWII figures, vehicles, artillery and accessories.

Such sale will start as soon as Minairons Miniatures website is reopen by mid August. And, quite obviously, it is going to last just until end of stocks.

1:100 Miller-Ford racer & status update

I'm happy to share Minairons' latest release, the 1935 Miller-Ford racing car in 1:100^th scale. Once again, this new model comes as a 3D-printed product, so requiring no assembly except for the white metal driver to be attached in cockpit.

As for our family health issues, my wife is coping well with her lung chemotherapy treatment; also, she is making visible progress in her motor rehabilitation process (she was affected by a Guillain-Barré syndrome). This is going to take a long time still, but we both are optimistic at regard.

Nevertheless, over four months have passed now since this health issue started, so I'm likely still going to need to shut down Minairons' website from time to time, in order to perform all necessary housekeeping tasks while she is hospitalized. You know, a day is just 24 hours long!

As for the desired Minairons miniatures managament transfer after my retirement, I'm happy to let you know that a preliminary talk took place recently with a friend who had also been in the wargame business for some time, with satisfactory results so far. Hopefully exciting news in this matter to come within this year.

WSS Rubí's Infantry Regiment flags

I'm pleased to share a further addition to our War of Spanish Succession flag ranges at 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales altogether. These new sets display the flags of the Maruis of Rubí Infantry Regiment, raised in 1713 by himself as Charles Habsburg's viceroy of Majorca, with the purpose to help defend the island face a foreseeable Two Crowns' invasion of the island - which actually happened in 1715. Along with the flags, I've also released a small PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

Citroën saloon, now in 1:100 scale

The 1:100^th scale version of Citroën C14 saloon car is already here. Unlike its larger 1:72^nd scale sister, this one comes as a single piece, so requiring no assembly at all.

This new civilian vehicle has a few variants depending on spare tyres location and presence of fog lights, supplied at random.

New 1:100 scale towing van

I'm happy to share the latest addition to our 1:100^th scale Interwar range: a Ford AA towing van, which can be also useful for SCW or even WWII settings - may it serve as a pressed into service civilian crane, or simply as a scenery piece.

It's already available at our website, as usual.

1:100 Barbastro tank released

We've just released the 1:100^th version of the Barbastro tank, a handcrafted behemoth locally built in the Aragonese town where the thing borrows the name from, whose 1:72^nd scale equivalent is also available from a long since. Unlike its larger sister, this 1:100^th Barbastro is DLP 3D-printed in just two parts (main hull and a rotating turret), and it's complemented by two hard plastic machine guns.

Quite large for its poor armament and armour, it was built in very small numbers: only one prototype for sure, and up to three others later, apparently from a slightly improved design. It's uncertain whether any of them saw any fighting at all.

WSS Valois' Tercio flags

I'm pleased to share a further addition to our War of Spanish Succession flag ranges at 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales altogether. These new sets display the flags of the Valois' Tercio, another Two Crowns' Spanish unit. Along with the flags, I've also released a small PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

Hope you like them!

XIV International Brigade flags

I'm happy to share the latest addition to our ranges of Spanish Civil War flags in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th 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 1:56^th scale set - this one devoted to Anarchist units. Taking advantage of such circumstance, I've also redesigned the 1:100^th and 1:72^nd scales versions of such set, so as to make all them to share design.

Hope you like them!

WSS Queen's Own IR flags

I'm happy to share our latest product in the War of Spanish Succession flags ranges, in all scales. This consists of a paper sheet with the King's and Regiment's Colours belonging to the La Reina ("=Queen's Own") Infantry Regiment of Charles Habsburg's Army - released simultaneously in 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales. Also a fourth 1:144 scale sheet contains the Colours of three different Austrophile regiments (Catalan Guards, Ahumada and Queen's Own itself).

Alongside with the flag sheets above, a brief PDF painting guide on the subject has been released too - as customary. Hope you like it all!

1:100 Vickers 105/22 howitzer

Our first release of 2024 consists of a 1:100^th 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.

Unlike its 1:72^nd scale counterpart, which is white metal cast in several parts to be assembled, this new 15mm cannon is DLP 3D-printed as a single piece, so requiring no assembly at all.

It can be already orderd from our website.

WSS Seville Inf. Reg. flags

I'm pleased to share a new addition to our War of Spanish Succession ranges at 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales altogether. This consists of the flags of a further Two Crowns' Spanish unit: Seville I.R., prior to 1707 known as Tercio de Madrid or Colorados Viejos.

Along with the flags, I've also released a small PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

SCW Republican Cavalry standards

We've just retaken our SCW flags ranges, which were admittedly neglected for a while now, with the addition of a new set in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th scales altogether - this time devoted to some Republican Cavalry squadrons, as you can see by the picture above. More of these are coming in the next months!

WSS Castelar Inf. Reg. flags

I've just made available another set of War of Spanish Succession flags, in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th scales altogether as usual. Their subject is another jacobite Irish unit in Bourbon Spanish service - the Castelar Infantry Regiment, better known surely by its later name of Hibernia (this meaning "Ireland" in Latin).

More WSS flag sets coming soon!

1:100 Chevrolet truck

I'm happy to share our latest SCW model kit - the 1937 Chevrolet 1.5 ton truck, now in 1:100^th scale!

Model itself consists of three DLP 3D-printed parts comprising main hull, cabin roof and optional canvas top, complemented by two hard plastic fore wheels. Some assembly is still required, then.

1:100 Ford AA pickup van

It is available now the 1:100^th scale version of our Ford AA pickup van, as a DLP 3D-printed model.

This new version is even simpler than its 1:72^nd scale counterpart, because it consists of just 2 parts - main body and cab roof.

Edited as of 19/06/2024: even simpler now, for it requires no assembly at all! Printed in one single part.

WSS Brabant I.R. flags & guide

Our War of Spanish Succession infantry flag set ranges keep expanding at a steady pace - at all scales altogether. We've added to collection now the flags of a further Two Crowns' Spanish unit: Brabant I.R., another senior regiment in the Spanish Army of that time.

Along with the individual Brabant I.R. sheets in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th that you can see in the photo above, we've also released a 3-unit flag sheet in 1:144^th scale too, that contains the colours of Brabant, Castile and Jaen Infantry Regiments altogether.

Along with the flags, I've also released a PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

WSS Alcaudete Regiment flags & guide

I'm happy to share the latest addition to Our War of Spanish Succession flags ranges at 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th scales. Today it's the flags for the Saragossa Town Infantry Regiment, perhaps better known as Alcaudete Regiment on behalf of one of its colonels. This Austrophile regiment served in Aragon and Catalonia until 1713, when it was evacuated from the Iberian Peninsula and stationed in Milan. After the ultimate peace between Philip V and Charles VI by the Treaty of The Hague (1720), Alcaudete regiment was incorporated into the Imperial Army.

Along with the flag sheets, I've also released a PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

Maserati 8CTF, now in 1:100

Maserati 8CTF is now our sixth Grand Prix racer so far, both in 1:72^nd and 1:100^th scales. Unlike its larger version which is resin cast, this new smaller version is a DLP 3D-printed model produced in one single piece - so it requires no assembly job beyond fixing a pilot to it.
