Collections!

We are always picking up random collections. Last we week we picked up a few hundred 1/72 scale figure sets and models. We also got a model collection and a bunch of die-cast, including Corgi and some King and Country

Here is a few bins of the many we picked up.

Lots of new Games Workshop just arrived. We also have a restock on the way!

We get weekly shipments of games.

The new Magic the Gathering will be on sale Friday!

One of the collections I grabbed was near the Salem Willows. I had to jump out and say Hi to this M60A3 at the Brigadier General Irzyk Park. I drove all through historic Salem and checked out some sites and then headed up to Rockport for another collection.

The 3-D Printing is back in full swing.

Before the Holidays we had some printer issues and did not have the time to tune them up. We are back up and running with 3 machines and hope to have some product going up on the site soon.

Below we have som prints shown with 60mm John Jenkins Dark Age figures and 54mm Britains Deetail from the 1980's. These will be great universal pieces that can be used for multiple periods and scales. We will be able to do 15mm, 28mm and 54mm.

The John Jenkins Designs

German Sd.Kfz. 251 mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen was an armored and fully tracked infantry fighting vehicle designed specifically to provide infantry the capability to match pace with German Panzers during armored operations. No other nation employed a similar vehicle during the war. It was purpose built to truly serve as a vehicle the Panzergrenadiers actually fought from. Its armored body could withstand small arms fire, protecting the mounted troops while they employed the two onboard machineguns along with the soldier's own personal small arms. The SPW was also fully tracked, meaning each of its tracks could be operated independently from the other track, just like a tank. This capability provided the SPW with excellent cross country mobility and allowed the Panzergrenadiers to accompany tanks even in the muddiest conditions. Lastly, the excellent capabilities of the SPW led to numerous specialized variants including versions mounting 7.5cm cannons and versions carrying small bridge sections for the Pioneer(specialized heavy assault troops with engineering skills).
