Looking forward to the more insane kit that he is currently working on.... That Sloop of War is gorgeous.
The Auld Grump, and by some odd coincidence I am looking at Razor Coast for my Pathfinder game....

I got 3 TRVs earlier in the year. Great kit, delighted with it! Any progress on the heavier variants you were designing. If so, when can we expect them? Thanks

I'm looking at your Battlegrounds set as a possible solution for an Adeptus Titanicus table. Do you have any plans for more Battlegrounds and have you considered making one at AT scale that would even work with the modular buildings GW sells?
FW is releasing their resin 2x2 boards for a crazy price so I think there will be a market for more of these types of modular Battlegrounds sets.
Thanks!

For this week and next week the Siren kit will be available at a special price with a free custom ship name upgrade.
The HMS Siren is a huge kit designed to be true scale 28mm to make models feel at home while standing on the deck. When assembled the kit is 28 inches long and includes 16 resin cannons. Optional extras include Swivel Guns, Carronades and the captains cabin detail upgrade.
The Siren kit includes:
- Complete MDF and Cardboard hull
- Stump masts for game play
- Details such as stove, chain pumps and capstan winch
- 16x resin 6 pounder cannon
- Around 500 pieces in the kit!
Optional Extras:
- Captains cabin upgrade detail
- Swivel guns for top railings
- Carronades for quarterdeck
- Custom name plate (Free with pre-order)
Love the idea of a 28mm scale sloop - but looks really complicated - how easy / difficult is it for a very ametuer modeller to build?

The instructions are pretty comprehensive, and can be downloaded from the webpage.
We also have a couple of smaller boats that will be released shortly that have been designed using the same techniques, perfect for try without the high cost.
32' Pinnace.
They should be approx. $35/ $45 AUD (armed and unarmed) respectively.
oh man... I love these kinds of boats. I have a 3'ish foot (simpler) model I built at least a decade ago (my cat knocked it over and snapped the bowsprit :( )
I'm going to have to grab these at some point. The Siren is up for pre-order, but will still go on the store as normal right?

They do look great - is that unpainted?

oh. Uhmm... I'm not sure. If you email directly I'm sure the boss can answer that.

They are an MDF and Card (and dowel and elastic and resin and eye-pin) kit. They will need painting.

Sorry I meant in the images shown is that painted or the unpainted version?

Speaking as an unaffiliated fan I’m going to guess those are painted pics. Having worked with laser cut mdf before you just don’t get that kind of uniform color on the edges and faces of parts without work, typically edges are extremely dark brown or black from the cutting process. Also there’s shading in recesses that aren’t just natural shadow, the color of the resin guns, and some slight splotches on the rear of the unarmed version just don’t seem right for unpainted.

That small cannon-boat will be ordered as soon as it is released!!!
I will proudly build, paint and display it at my desk at work. (I work in the Navy... )

Our first fully downloadable 3D printed model is now available.
The Fox ATV files come with two different armaments and optional side armour panels and rear fenders. The crew cabin can also be left open or closed.
This is our very first adventure into fully 3d printed files and is a test to see how well they go and if it is worth us making more in the future.
Files are for personal use only. Anyone running a 3D print business can email us to discuss options.
Vroom vroom!
