    Spots on the Internet

    On a previous site, I used to post news of new models I had found on the 'net. If there is enough interest, I'd like to do the same here. It's not an exhaustive search, I don't look at the really big makers - Dragon, Tamiya etc, but on the more 'obscure' or unpopular makers and those models that interest me. All pictures I post will be either from the Makers' website, or Facebook page
    Some new models, both available and coming, from one of my favourite makers - ICM

    I particularly like these 1/35 WWI models

    [ATTACH]306086[/ATTACH][ATTACH]306087[/ATTACH]
    Something different from ICM, their 1/16 models have been soldiers/ceremonial guards - from Game of Thrones
    [ATTACH]306088[/ATTACH]
    From Bronco - the forerunner of the Duster[ATTACH]306083[/ATTACH]
    and from IBG the TKS tankette, there are 3 boxings, one base model with 'quick build' tracks, another the same but with glue, paintbrush & Hataka paints, the third boxing has a metal barrel, 2 figures and doesn' have the quick tracks[ATTACH]306084[/ATTACH]
    Please feel free to post your own finds, bur please only post pics from the makers sites, or Facebook pages, and credit them.
    Thanks for looking in - feedback will be appreciated
    Dave

    It would be nice to see Peter D tackle the Night King - all those shades of blue.

        From the Roden website - another 1/35 WWI model, the Holt Artillery Tractor[ATTACH]306203[/ATTACH]
        Quite a detailed model - it seems to have clickable individual track links.

          Dave .
          Great idea of yours to do his thread again on here.:thumb2:
          Certainly like the Colt tractor, same tracks as the S65 , as Colt helped set up the factory. It's interesting to note that the design of these tracks has never changed, the designer's got it right the first time .
          Quite like ICM, always something different coming from them .

            I've seen this at a couple of shows. All I gotta do now is find a spare arm and leg .....

                The Roden Holt is VERY expensive - around ยฃ50 - a bit rich for my liking!
                I'm gratified to see the number of visits, and likes - please add any of your own finds, especially in areas that I don't have much interest - braille scale, sci-fi!

                  New Tooling - but a surprise is the price - ยฃ30.99 mrp! That seems a lot for a 1/72 model

                    Maybe you should look at other sites for your models :blow-kiss: https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/pro...ctor-roden-812

                    I'm out of stock of is at the moment, it sold out pretty quick, but I have a new supplier for Roden which are much cheaper than the official UK importer sets

                      John,
                      I'm afraid I was a bit lazy in my search! I generally look at the Lowestoft site for a baseline UK price, and go from there, but not today. I can assure you that SMS is on my search list...............

                              Over on PMMS.
                              MasterClub are releasing individual track links for the M4 Sherman of various types.
                              Including assembly jig and end- connectors which insert into the links.
                              These could be a real Godsend. Picture borrowed from Terry Ashley's PMMS.[ATTACH]306910[/ATTACH]
