Once again, we have spent some time retooling previously existing products. Now we have brought to white metal our 1/72 Vickers 105mm howitzer - so replacing the combined resin/metal production so far. This step also allows us to price the model cheaper than before.
I'm proud you to show you the latest addition to our 20mm Spanish Civil War figures range - this time, a team of Moroccan artillerymen consisting of three crewmen and a leading officer. New set retails at the same price as existing ones - that is, €4.09 (+VAT where applying).
These artillerymen can be used for manning an AT or infantry gun, as in the sample picture below.
Our War of the Spanish Succession flag ranges keep growing at a good pace, now with the flags that belonged to the "Valencia Kingdom" Infantry Regiment, a unit raised in 1706 by valencian authorities in support of Archduke Charles claims to the throne of Spain. This unit was short lived, because of being decimated as a result of Almansa battle (1707). After withdrawing in Catalonia, it was merged into Alicante IR (better known as Richardi's IR).
This new set is available at 1/100, 1/72 and 1/56 scales altogether, as usual. Also, I've released a small guide giving some painting guide and history of the unit, which can be already found on www.minairons.eu website as a PDF file for free download.
I'm happy to show you a brand new set of War of the Spanish Succession flags at 1/56th, 1/72nd and 1/100th scales together as usual. The new set stands for the Spanish "Sicily" Infantry Regiment and comprises both King's and Battalion's colours. This was one of the senior regiments in Spanish Army, whose birth can be traced back to Emperor Charles V.
Also, I've released a small guide giving some orientation on history of uniforms, flags and the unit itself, which is already available on www.minairons.eu website as a PDF file for free download.
Here you have a full video about our upcoming Age of Sail xebec assembly and painting job. Enjoy!
I'd like to show you today what do look like the 1:100th version of a recently released WSS flags set, held by the appropriate flag bearers kindly provided by Eureka miniatures. These are the flags of a catalan austrophile unit, known as Our Lady of Rosary IR.
According to Archduke Charles regulations of 1706, colonel flags were to be white with an image of Virgin Mary, while design and colour of regimental ones were left to the unit colonel-owner's will.
Once again, we have spent some time retooling our 1/72 Schneider 155mm howitzer - in order to produce it in white metal from now on, rather than in resin as so far. Also, we've made the model kit slightly simpler and sturdier by casting gun barrel and its carriage jointly, as a single part.
Please note the different positions of gun barrel with regard to its carriage, depending on the kit involved - travelling position in the IGC Sadurní tractor boxed set, while ready for fire when a single gun pack.
Despite the change, prices remain the same.
(Spare resin gun barrels and carriages will be still available for some time at request - just drop us a line if so)
I've just released three new 1:600 scale Age of Sail flag sets, now those of the Holy Roman Empire, the British White Ensign (1707-1801 version) and John Martel pirate. As customary amongst us, each set comprises one large ensign, two medium sized flags, a bow jack and a commission pennant.
All three can be found at our website, 17th century and/or 18th century naval flags sections.
