New Embossed sheets - SBP Updated

by Anbar on Wed 09 Jul 2008 13:06 BST

We have added 11 new stamped/embossed styrene sheets to the site.
These are actually vacuum-formed styrene so that they have a slightly more pronounced "depth" to the detail from the usual styrene sheets. They are also of a larger size (14x9) which makes them ideal for larger projects.

Each sheet costs £2.95p and we have taken a number of sheets from different (railway) scales which complement various wargames scales: we've then photographed them against a 30mm, 15mm and 25mm figure to give a more exact idea of size and appearance.

You can find the new sheets here.

Please note that we have also made some changes to the Scratch-Builders paradise pages and you may want to force-refresh your browsers (ctrl-F5) to ensure that you have the latest pages.

Crates, buckets, barrels, doors and windows

by Anbar on Tue 08 Jul 2008 16:37 BST

We've uploaded the first sets of the Fantasy & Historical scenery section (for 25mm - 32mm) now, which can be found here:

To start with we have five sets of Hirst-Arts items, then the start of our own selection including leaded windows, bay windows, doors and so forth. Double-sided metal-cast windows will be added shortly along with an expanding range of windows and doors as well as other scenic components.

All resin items are pressure-cast as usually which ensures that the very finest detail is picked out during casting - this enables us to produce the extreme detail such as the leading in the leaded windows, reliably and without flaws or air bubbles.

Most pieces are drop-cast and as such you may need to sand flat the bottom/back of doors and windows etc.

Packs start around £3.00

Aves now in stock

by Anbar on Tue 08 Jul 2008 16:23 BST

We have added a larger range of Aves products to the store which can be found here.

These include 4 colours of the excellent Aves Apoxie Sculpt in the 1lb and 1/4lb sizes, the Aves Paste and the safety solvent. Prices range from £3.00 to £12.99.

Aves Apoxie is a synthetic clay which acts very similar to green stuff/brown stuff and other epoxies such as magic Sculpt. Aves can be smoothed with water, drilled and wills and without clogging up sandpaper and it is an excellent material for making models and scenery/terrain.

Aves is extremely well known in the USA but is fairly new to the UK; its well worth trying it out though for making anything from sci-fi models to sandbags to zimmerit.
