Released a little late for last week's News story on the new Accurate Armour releases, this new 1/35th scale conversion set will certainly guarantee a striking model....

With the quantity of new releases coming out in 1/48th scale from Tamiya, Skybow and Hobby Boss (see today's BIG news story!) , it seems only reasonable to look at some of the updates/conversion sets available in these scales.

Propaganda Kompany is proud to announce the latest PK 2006 news ....

The list include the items delayed for 2005 but available this year.

The Figures will be available for early March.
The rest during the year.

Over the weekend, the annual Toy Fair was held in Nuremberg , Germany. Amongst the most intriguing of the new products announced, were tthose of a new company - Hobby Boss. The company is producing a range of armor kits in both 1/48th and 1/35th scale along with track sets....

Before people start dismissing this as more 'Bronco-ware' , the company were actually showing both Sprues and finished kits on their stand - very promising indeed!!

Seil Model have recently announced their February 2006 releases. This month we see Seil Model launching their new 75mm range of figures with the dancing couple from the motion picture "The King and I". Also featured is a very impressive 90mm 14th century knight - with many head options!

In the third of these Dragon Models' News stories based on their 2006, catalogue, the attention turns to an increasingly important (and horribly neglected) part of the hobby - 1/72nd scale.

The list in the catalogue, is curiously enough, a lot more interesting than the lists for 1/35th scale.

It should also be noted, these are informative , not definitive. Things will doubtless change during the course of the year.....

We now have all four volumes of Mike Starmer's superb booklets on British armor and vehicle camouflage.

The last few months have seen a rapid release program from DML in all areas. One of the most noteworthy, has ubdoubtedly been th introduction of a different 'dimension' of 1/35th scale figures - Generation II. The difference between these and any other figures on the market is abysmal - the new figure sets are undoubtedly the best ever produced in 1/35th. Now, Dragon Models has, via its subsidiary DragonUSA announced the latest set....

This is my first post to this particular forum so please excuse any errors in layout etc.

The following have been released and confirmed.

I came across Leonhard Miniatures a few days ago, and was impressed by their dedication to historical detail. In fact, Leonhard Miniatures are so dedicated to historical accuracy, that their figures are carefully designed by a team member who is a professional museologist with experience in researching and reconstructing historic subjects. Furthermore, the masters are sculpted by talented and renowned artists like Alan Ball!

Infinity Shape's historical and military miniatures range currently comprises of 1/48 (37mm) and 54mm white metal figures. They are launching their 1/35 range in January 2006 (the figures can be seen below), and from their website it appears they will be launching a range of 90mm figures within the foreseeable future as well.

News just in from Mr. Alex Surzhenko, Director of Master Box Limited, of two new 1/35 scale kit releases to hit the kit market, one very soon, one in about a month's time (if all goes well with the process, he says.)

As the modelling year comes to an end, and as I rarely get a chance to 'editorialize' (at least to any great extent), this seems like quite a good opportunity to be even more opinionated than I usually am (ahem...)

In this, I'm going to be taking a (highly) personal view of what (to me at least) have been the highs (and lows) of this year's new releases....

Spanish figure manufacturer Elite Miniatures has recently announced their two latest releases, and in typical Elite fashion, they manage to blindingly dazzle with these two fantastic figures!

The most common drawback with some of the (otherwise) excellent plastic figure sets on the market, is there is a tendency towards 'sameness' . Therefore, it is desireable, to find some alternative. There are a number of companies who have made themselves 'indispensable' in this area, now, the South Korean company, Legend Productions has entered this useful sector of the market....

The Shanghai-based AM company, LionRoar has three new update sets available now, two in 1/35th scale and one in 1/48th scale...
