Tuesday Roundup…

Yes it’s a few days delayed, sorry folks, but here’s what’s new at Arcane Scenery…

We’ve restocked on Renedra products and now have the full range in stock.

New from Renedra is the Pontoon bridge.

A great accessory for wargamers allowing them to biuld either a pontoon bridge or a simple footbridge. Theres lots of potential to use the pontoons as seperate items and conversions. The bridge is of a type used through many historical periods.

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve had an Expo Tools restock, so good availability on all these products. New to us is the Glue & glaze. A specialist product that allows you not only to glue clear plastic components without ‘fogging ‘them but also allows modellers to glaze small windows ( such as on airline models, ship kits etc) as well as headlights on cars, tanks etc. This expands our specialist adhesive range and we have many different glues for different tasks. Please check out our previous blog article ‘super glue is great…. but there are other adhesives!

Restocks on Emhar with more 1/35th scale WW1 infantry & artillery now available, although this is selling fast and some lines have already sold through! We will get more.
We have also received many more of the Conflix scenery range buildings in. These are amoungst the best value ready painted buildings on the market and look great on the war games table. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Warlord releases are in. Favourite is the Napoleonic Vivandiere, as she would have been with the troops. After all , what soldier could resist a woman offering him a beer…..Mind you she comes armed with a pistol so beware!

Also released, Scottish casualties for pike & shotte and new German army Command, Flak 43 and Leig18 infantry gun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, for now, we have just received new laser cut MDF movement trays. These allow you to make perfect trays and finish them to your own basing colours.

Arcane Scenery’s little secret

For some time we’ve been keeping a little secret from our blog readers. Sorry, but once you see the secret, you’ll forgive us, we’re sure.

Arcane Scenery now stocks a range of beautiful wooden buildings suitable for wargamers. These intricate creations are currently available as a range of Western buildings for y’all cowboy fans, and WWII buildings suitable for Flames of War fans. We’re going to tell you about them in more detail in another post, but in the meantime here’s a preview… And, just because we kept a secret from you, here’s the range now available

Friday round up…

This week we have some great new releases and restocks…

First of all some treats for all you Flames of War fans…We are now stocking some lovely buildings, which will be discussed in more detail on Monday, suitable for town and village settings. There’s also some new Zvezda WWII items, such as this 1/100 Russian BT-5, which snaps together rather than being glued. Helpful for those with bigger fingers, or a tendency to glue themselves…

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also have new Zvezda Spartans…

 

 

 

 

 

And this week brings restocks on Pegasus items.

The most exciting new stock this week is the Roden Rolls Royce Armoured Car from 1914.   It is 1/35th scale and recreates one of the earliest armoured cars from the British military. The cars, which were use in World War I and the first part of World War II, used the chassis from Silver Ghosts and added space for a Vickers turret. They were used in both Western front theatre and in the Middle East.  This is a lovely model which would work well in any First World War scenario…

 

Friday round up

It was yet another bank holiday this week so not many releases…

The new  PzKpfw IV Ausf H Panzer IV 1/72 scale Revell kit 3184 is now in stock ready for WWII battles

The armoured fighting vehicle Pzkpfw. IV formed the backbone of the German tank units in World War II. Between 1933 and 1945 it was built in greater numbers than any other German battle tank of the period. The H version, which for the first time was equipped with side skirts to increase armoured protection, was built from 1943 to 1944.

Model-details:
– Authentic surface details
– Movable turret with stowage lockers
– MG 34
– Side aprons
– Injection moulded tracks with individual links and segments
– Decals for two German versions
No. of parts 204
Length 97 mm
 

ummm and that’s about it on new releases this week. However, Italeri have a forthcoming new release that we thought you might like to know about…1/35th scale Lend Lease U.S. Truck with ZIS-3 Gun



The US6 transport lorry, developed by Studebaker at
the beginning of World War II for the American armed
forces, was created with an initial lot of 200,000 in a
good thirteen versions to meet a variety of logistical
needs: troop and material transport, refuelling, and
heavy-trailer hauling. The US6 was a 2.5-Tonne class
with petrol engine and integral traction in the dual
6×6 and 6×4 configuration, guaranteeing excellent
off-road performance.

Despite the vehicle’s incredible characteristics, it was used in a limited fashion by the American armed forces. The Soviet armed forces, on the other hand, used it extensively, having received from the American government in 1942 (to assist in fighting the Germans), over 105,000 vehicles in the 6×6 version and 90,000 of the 6×4’s. In Russia, this
vehicle was widely used as a tractor for anti-tank ZIS-3 cannons and other OBC. Furthermore, a “Katiusha”
multi-missile launcher was added to the US6 frame.

This vehicle should be available some time in the next month, but rest assured we will let you know as soon as it is here…

Friday Round Up

We have received in our restocks of Expo Tools, for those of you who aren’t familiar with this range, Expo do a comprehensive range of tools for the modeller with everything from knives, files, drills, sprue cutters through to magnifying glasses and even reading glasses.

In addition Expo also supply the superb Albion Alloys range which includes brass tube, rod and sheet, aluminium tubing, and precision engineered microtube.

We have also received their new releases a plank bending tool, and two varieties of pin pusher.

You may not have heard of these tools before, they are invaluable for railway and boat modelling enthusiasts, but we also think they are extremely useful for all you scenery builders out there.

In scenery this week we have restocks and some new items. The Treemendus individual leaf packs allow you to super detail your bases, or even produce your own trees. We have restocks on Javis trees and scenic scatters.

We also have restocks on plasticard.

Friday round up part one…

Happy Good Friday, hope you’re all taking the opportunity that this Bank Holiday affords to get in some extra gaming in (maybe outdoors skirmishes in this lovely weather).

We have lots of new stock this week so there’s two roundups.

We now carry the full range of  Evergreen Plastics in the eBay shop having this week begun stocking the plastic strips…

 

For those that aren’t aware, evergreen plastic produce precision cut plastic strip, tube, rod and many other shapes that are invaluable for thos

e modellers wanting to convert or scratch build models. Evergreen has the advantage over some other similar products in that you are able to glue the plastic with normal polystyrene glue ( we recommend Revell contacta).

The HO strips, whilst designed with railway modellers in mind, are very useful because each pack in the range has strip produced to a set ratio, width to depth, and so will be ideal for modellers building small scale vehicles & tanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a new tank from Zvezda for Operation Barbarossa the Soviet Light BT-5.

This range is more than suitable for other table top wargames, including rules of engagement, rapid fire and rate of fire. Even better, the small scale tanks and aircraft make a very good and cost effective way of boosting your Flames of war forces!

 

Warlord have another new release, contrasting with the rules book Hail Caesar for ancient gaming fans we have their new plastic commandos set. Which at twenty pounds for twenty five figures with a multitude of configurations is an absolute bargain and a must have for all you WWII gamers.

And for Ancients fans there is another new rules set, from Great Escape comes Clash of Empires which will lead you through a variety of basics and we will review it in an forthcoming blog entry…
