*Latest Releases*
February 2010 After a period of
dormancy, we have just released a US 105mm Howitzer M3 (AAP5). This
weapon was used extensively by US Airborne/Glider troops and was also attached
to Infantry battalions.
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.
Many thanks, Alvin.
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.
