Modeling Review - Alpine Miniatures

Posted by Adam N on January 20, 2012

Alpine Miniatures have sent us their latest set of two single figures combined to make a matched pair in 35132: 1/35 German Panther Crew Set. This features a full-bodied tank commander and his machine gunner/ radio operator crewman who is ¾ bodied. Sure to be a popular subject with modellers, we'll examine them to see if the quality is at the usual benchmark that Alpine themselves have set. I will also place them in my test tank to see if they look the part and fit!!

Sneak peak at Air Vanguard artwork

Posted by Mike on January 19, 2012

2Lt Gerald Birks 66 Sqdn Camel 1918 -Simon Smith final full res

Despite having only just announced the imminent arrival of the Air Vanguard series, we have been working on the concept for a number of years, and actually commissioned a number of the books many months ago (I know, we are sneaky and secretive aren't we?).

Now it is still obviously way too early to have much material in for the series, most of the authors are still busy researching and writing the books and the artists are still working on their side of the bargain. But, one of our artists has actually been able to finish off some of his art sooner than we had expected

Air Vanguard - how our customers helped shape the series

Posted by Mike on January 17, 2012

Many of you were first alerted to the possibility of a new aviation series about six months ago, when we posted up an appeal for help with the series. We already had a pretty good idea of what the books would contain and how the series would pan out, but we decided to open the forum up to our customers to check that we were heading in the right direction. And you responded in your thousands, confirming a lot of our ideas, but more importantly planting the seeds of new ideas and new concepts that came as a bit of a surprise.

Air Vanguard - The Launch Titles

Posted by Mike on January 13, 2012

A couple of days ago we announced the launch of a new series, Air Vanguard.

Now, we have a sneak preview of what subjects we are going to cover in the first few months of the series - including 5 titles that were commissioned only days ago.

I think there is a really nice balance to the list - a combination of the big, famous subjects that are needed to introduce a series to bookshops and general readers, mixed with a more focused range of subjects that will appeal to the more experienced aviation enthusiast!
