The figure on a Welbike is in production, and it is simply superb! Now, does anyone want one painted up as a Canadian rider please?

Default 54 mm collectors' Parachute models available now

The Southampton, England based Battlezone Miniatures Ltd are pleased to announce that they have kept their promise to introduce reinforcements to the 54 mm range of British Paratroopers that were launched and landed some weeks past. Since the two Paratroopers with their portable trolley and their colleague with binoculars were launched, sales have been made across the UK and into Europe with interest from around the world. The Paras were reinforced by another man mounted on his Excelsior Welbike portable/foldable motorcycle which we believe was a first.

The Paras have not had it all their own way, as three 54 mm scale German Wehrmacht soldiers were drafted in to oppose the Paras, and in June 1944 they were found to be warming themselves in front of a brazier during a lull in the fighting. The set of three includes some very fine detailing and together forms a mini-diorama that has been well received.

As the opposition have made themselves known, more allied airborne reinforcements were called up and this time a British Paratrooper has been joined by two Americans, from each of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Regiments again to 54 mm scale. These men are to be depicted, for the first time ever it is thought, with a parachute in each case! A great deal of thought and design has gone into the production of a vacuum-formed scale model of an allied parachute in white, complete with scale fabric ‘ropes’ attached to each troop made of white metal. The troops are depicted in mid-drop, with the parachute fully opened, and to that end an optional extra frame is available to mount the combination. To complement the troops, drop containers are available with parachutes as well.

Battlezone Miniatures Ltd is British, and all our miniatures are sculpted, cast and painted in Britain. However we are seeking trade distributors as well as private collectors from around the world particularly North America. A colour brochure is available on request at the cost of £1.50, which will be deducted from the cost of the first order. To see our collection of the finest miniatures, and forthcoming editions, also check out our website: http://www.battlezone.org.uk or email Nick West on enquiries@battlezone.org.uk or telephone +44 (0) 1489 579984.

Default UNPAINTED MODELS @ DISCOUNT

There seems to be a demand for unpainted models so we are now offering the 54 mm soldiers and drop containers plus the Germans unpainted, at 50% discount on painted priced except for the parachute sets which are British Pounds or £19.00 for the British OR CANADIAN [as unpainted] para plus chute or GI plus chute. The drop container will probably be about the same as the chute is the item that costs money to design and make! At the moment the C$ 2.3 = 1 GB Pound, and A$2.5 = 1 GBP with US$ 1.53 = 1 GBP. The plastic chute has never been produced before, ever, we believe and can be posed in a dropping position or moulded to represent just landed. Can we have some Canadian orders please?

Default e-mail me, I've got questions...

David,

I'm quite interested in a couple of the figures you've got, esp. if you've got Brit paras in full jump kit..something I've been looking for. E-mail me at timothy.sullivan@bell.ca and I'm sure we can get a deal going. I've also got a friend that is big into "toy soldier" collecting, I'm sure he'd be VERY interested in some of the things you have.

Talk to you soon,

Tim

Default Latest edition

The parachute + men sets are selling like hot cakes. However they have just been joined by a new addition that has sold before even released officially! This is of a British paratrooper that has landed and is pulling in his 'chute. Why not get your orders in now?

Canadian orders are being handled by Tim Sullivan

timothy.sullivan@bell.ca

but the company now sell also through a Chicago shop as well. Any Antipodean shops interested in dealer discount?
