Been busy putting more customer supplied pics in the gallery section.
Emmanuel Valerio has kindly allowed us to host some of his fantastically
well researched artwork on Japanese heraldry. The Ashigaru masters might
be back sooner than I thought (fingers crossed). We will most likely attend
the Trumpeter Salute in March 2008.

We would like to take this time to thank all those who dropped by our

Some good and bad news! The Fighting Ashigaru (SA-027) set is in
but one of the poses has not come out properly. The scabbard is
severely bent. It can be bent back into place but this often
results in it snapping off or being very weak. Therefore, I have
asked the caster to redo that batch. All the other pieces are
fine. It could be a few weeks before I have the replacement part.
More good news! The sculptor is working on Standing Ashigaru with
Arquebus (Teppo) as we write. I have asked him to work quickly
because many of you need these pieces! It will likely be about 2
months before they are commercially available. Work In Process
photos will be posted when available.
Even more good news! If the sculptor has time, he will sculpt two
more cavalry pieces. These Samurai will have katana instead of
spears.
We would love to hear from you and to see even more photos. So send
them in. If you are looking for inspiration just check out what
customers have been doing with our figs in the gallery sections of
the website.

New pack of Fighting Ashigaru is up! Two new books have been added to
the front page. These are published by Osprey and written by S. Turnbull.
I have not read them so I cannot make any recommendations but I
generally find these items to be of use for painting and modelling.
On the development front, we have 6 new Ashigaru with teppo in the
works. I will be calling the sculptor this weekend to see if I can get some
WIP photos posted. There may two mounted Samurai ready too, but we'll
have to see.
If you haven't been to the site in awhile I recommend you take a look at
page two of the gallery. Some very talented painters have been sharing
their photos with us lately. Why don't you send one of yours?

Two new pieces have been added to the artwork section of the site. These
plates show the banners of both Date Masamune and Sakai Tadatsugu.
The WIP are not quite yet completed but are close! Ooops! have corrected
a link for the Fighting Ashigaru Set SA-027 on the products page. Sorry for
any confusion!

Well we're heading off on vacation and that means July 24th will be the last
day for shipping until August 5th. You can still order through our cart but
you won't be invoiced for shipping until we return and we put your orders
together.
In the meantime we have sent 5 new greens to the mouldmaker. Three of
them will form the basis of standing Ashigaru with arquebus. The
remainder two are new mounted Samurai! You can see pics in the WIP
gallery sections of either the newsletter or our website. We are hoping
these packs will be available for sale in September.
If you have photos of painted figs from the Kingsford range and you are
not too shy please email them to us and we will add them to our galleries!
Wishing you an enjoyable summer!
