Annual Holidays:  We will be closed for business from Friday 29th August until Monday 15th September. If you want your order before then, please place it by 26th August at the latest.

2nd June 2008  Due to the rapid rise in metal costs, we are having to increase our prices, although we have managed to hold some at the current levels.  The new prices will be applied to all orders received from today.

Naval Museum of Alberta Diorama
This is obviously going to be the year for WW2 dioramas as we recently supplied The Naval Museum of Alberta, Canada with some figures for theirs.  We have just heard from the designer/builder of their diorama, Tom Sime, who is posting progress reports on the internet for anyone who is interested. 
He says, "The main purpose of this email, in addition to introducing myself to you, was to let you know that I will be posting “in progress” images of the diorama on the WWW at “HyperScale”.  The first of these can be found at  http://www.hyperscale.com/ go to discussion forums and in the menu to left of your screen click on “Plastic Pics”.  Look for the post “Naval Museum of Alberta D-Day Diorama”.  I have posted  two images there with a short explanatory text".
Tom tells us that he has posted some more images of his progress since the originals, so keep checking if you are interested.
Alvin Perkins visited the exhibition at the end of 2004 and is allowing us to show some photos he took. Unfortunately, the glass case round diorama caused him a few problems so the quality of the pictures is not as good as he would have liked.

Imperial War Museum Diorama
We are delighted to be associated with a WW2 diorama which is on display at the Museum's 'Land Warfare Hall' at Duxford.  It has been created by the London branch of  MAFVA  using our figures and various other manufacturers' vehicles depicting Normandy 1944.
AB has designed additional figures specifically for this diorama, most of which are available for sale to our customers.

AFVs now in stock. 
We have listed the Cromwell Models "Combat Ready" range and Geisbers resin models which we have in stock to make it easier for you to order.  Although we will be keeping the website as accurate as possible as regards availability, there is bound to be an overlap, so please give alternatives if possible.
We also have selected items from the MMS range of World War 2 military vehicles and a selection of Milicast resin AFVs.   Please contact us for details and availability.
