May was a busy month for us, now that June is here and things have quieted down a bit. Maybe June will be the month we can catch up on our releases.

May brought some new 40mm re-releases; June should have some more 40mm re-releases. Also slated for June are some 54mm ACW re-releases.

Last June we brought you the Blasted Planets line of miniatures. Our little tornado and cleanup kind threw things off schedule, so we just never got caught up on this project. I have the space hobbits nearly ready, just need to correct one nagging problem with the heavy weapons figure and then these will be ready for production. Our goal for the Blasted Planets line is to release the Space Hobbits and the Gulay Gorod in June.

I’m trying my hand at some classic toy soldier style 54mm figures, if these come out as well as I hope they do, I’ll add them to the production schedule. More on this project as things progress – I’m even slower at sculpting than I am at painting, so this one may take a while.

Work on my n-gauge ancient Egyptian army has resumed and it is progress fairly well. I still need to determine who they will fight, feel free to send suggestions for an opposing army. I’ve also started on new Hawaiian armies. I am doing a pair of smaller armies in n-gauge and then two larger forces in 15mm. The 15mm troops will be used in one of my Free-moved Timed-move war games (as will the n-gauge Egyptians). I hope to have the Hawaiians ready for a game in August.

The 20mm Austrians (Napoleonic Wars) have made it to the top of the pile, so work is beginning on new molds and stock lists for these figures. Look for a pre-production offering of these later this month (pre-orders help us justify the costs of new molds, etc.)

Look for more news and new specials next week.

PS. Look out, I hear that there are zombies on the loose…
