New Terrain From Brigade Models

Following on from last week’s first steps underground with the release of the buried structures, this week we have four more ways to live below the surface of a planet – clearly HG Well’s artilleryman was onto something.

For want of a better name, we’ve called these ones Sunken Structures. They’re based around a courtyard sunk into the ground around 25 feet or so, with doors and tunnels leading off from the open central area. Windows and vents pierce the side walls and exhaust towers protrude above the surface. Access from ground level can be by simple stairs cut into the rock or elevators running up the side of the pits. Some are accessed through small entrance buildings on the surface above. One of the structures is an octagonal pit with a large workshop door off to one side, intended as a below-ground landing bay.

The models are one-piece resin castings. They’re all cast as simple square or rectangular pieces, and all are 25mm deep – the idea is for them to be modelled into a terrain baseboard or hill/mesa using 25mm thick insulation foam (inexpensive white polystyrene can be had from Wickes in the UK for just £7 for an 8’x4′ sheet). I’ll write an article on this in the near future, I promise.

We’ll have stocks of these at the Joy of Six next week. We’re getting close to the deadline for advance orders for the show, especially if you would like me to bring anything that’s not either 6mm or Small Scale Scenery.

BP300-702 – Sunken Structures Pack – £17.50

B300-704 – Sunken Structure #1 – £4.00
B300-705 – Sunken Structure #2 – £5.00
B300-706 – Sunken Structure #3- £5.00
B300-707 – Sunken Landing Pad- £5.00

JOS18 Of Seminars And Sceptics

As I type this, there is just thirteen days before the Joy of Six 2018. Yes, less than two weeks before one of the best shows you will see on the Wargame circuit. On the last post I listed all the great games and traders that will be there on the day.

There will be lots to see and do on the day. The vast majority of the games will be participation, so as well as looking at the eye candy, you’ll be able to join in the action.

The ever-popular Dr Mike’s Painting Clinic will be in attendance. The eponymous Dr Mike is a wonderful teacher and offers free advice and input to complete novices and experience painters alike. If you’ve ever said to yourself, ‘I don’t know how you paint anything that small!’, then pop into Dr Mike’s clinic and receive a free cure for your crippling doubt.

We’ll also be hosting two seminars. The first is the regular Baccus Sunday Grill, where disgruntled gamers can vent their spleen on the captive Baccus staff and attempt to catch them out with tricky questions and demand for information. Always a lively and fun event!

The second is something a little different. We’ve assembled a panel from some of the Great and Good of the hobby, namely John Treadaway, (editor of Miniature Wargames), Wayne Bollands , assistant editor of Wargames Illustrated) and Neil Shuck and Mike Hobbs (both of the Meeples and Miniatures website). They, and the attendees will be addressing questions about why 6mm wargaming has such a poor profile within the hobby and perhaps even coming up with a few answers to improve the situation.

As usual, we’ll also be doing our bit to improve that image problem by running our ‘6mm Sceptic’ scheme. This is for all those who really cannot see the point of attending a show catering purely for 6mm gaming. If your preferred scale of figure tends to the taller, then just declare your complete disinterest at the entry desk and we won’t charge you. Yup. Free entry. If you change your mind and actually see the little guys in a new light and fancy having a go, then go back and pay up your entry fee and we’ll give you a ‘Reformed’ badge. Several of the traders will offer deals or discounts to the Reformed as a mark of your conversion.
So there you have it. A great venue with lots of natural light, some wonderful looking games, lots to play and do and good quality, reasonably priced catering. Why not give it a go?

New Releases At Brigade Models

This week’s new release. The desert is a harsh environment, with the combination of sun, sand and wind making life difficult for anyone trying to eke out an existence among the dunes. Some colonists have tried to protect themselves from the climate by digging themselves into the terrain and building their houses, workshops underground. In some cases they’ve built above ground and then buried the structures under a layer of plascrete and sand, leaving just the doors and windows exposed, with a few vents and exhausts.

Today we’ve added three underground structures to the website – a couple of small houses and a larger complex with garage doors and a large exhaust fan. There’s also a pack available containing one large structure and three each of the smaller ones. They’re listed under a new category of buildings, Underground Structures.

They are all one-piece resin castings which will make a rather different addition to your 6mm desert Sci-fi layout. We’ll have stock of these at the Joy of Six in a couple of weeks.

BP300-701 – Buried Structures Pack – £15.00
B300-701 – Large Buried Structure – £4.50
B300-702 – Small Buried House #1 – £2.00
B300-703 – Small Buried House #2 – £2.00

We have further additions to the Underground Structures range planned – in fact they’re more then planned, we already have some of them in hand, as you can see below. These are effectively sunken pits where the underground dwelling is based around a central courtyard. We should also have these at Jo6.
