The new HäT Taaishi and Hadendowa Camel Warriors

Although they took me a while to finish...and although I am still not happy with the final outcome I have posted my latest painted figures...

These are the new Taaishi and Hadendowa Camel Warriors from HäT and each box of 12 mounted figures comes with 3 foot figure too...

I think the HäT Colonial range is one of the best on the market...and that includes metal figures...the animation and scale is excellent, the proportions are very well executed and simply because the plastic figures are so much more versatile. The opportunities for customisation are endless...the range is a gem for collectors, modellers and wargamers a-like.

The up coming releases of the Taaishi and Hadendowa will enhance the range - as well as providing a plethora of scenarios for modellers and gamers with other period interests.

Simply excellent stuff...as well as a great addition to our hobbie!

P.S. A little bird tells me that more of those lovely HäT Colonial figures which are in development; 17th Lancers, the Frontier Light Horse and the Natal Native Contingent have advanced in the production queue...

Tally ho - tally ho...advance at the quick step!!

Modellbauausstellung - Berlin

I know its not on subject...but heyho!

A big thanks to Jan from Benno's forum as it was he who wrote to me and told me about the Model Show in Berlin last weekend...

And what a fabulous day Uncle Kuckuck and I had...

Held at the Berlin Airforce Museum (Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr
Kladower Damm 182, 14089 Berlin) which is on the grounds of the old British Military (Royal Airforce) Airport in Gatow which is about 30mins drive time from the City Centre...

Heres some pictures from our day...





























































































PS - its free entry all year round too...a great reason to visit Berlin!

Best
