The World Wars Range

Here is a sneak peek at an item from our up and coming World Wars Range. It's the Machine Gun Nest. Not as sexy as a King Tiger , but far more common and deadly. This is what we call a "test paint" - it's one of the first castings off the original sculpt. We do this to check the detail, see if the piece "feels" right and note if its missing anything important.

This Machine Gun Nest is one of our Mini Kits and is meant to be a Nest completely dug in with overhead log cover. There is no room inside for figures as it is meant to be "dug in to" the table top. The machine gun swivels. It is well camouflaged with a shelter half (weighted down by rocks) covering the rear entrance. The top is removable to show it has been "taken out". You can see one of the gunners crushed by the collapsed roof inside (Note the helmet, boot and hand/arm).

I apologize for the brass gun barrels, but they are the masters and as of yet have not been sent off to the caster. The real model will come with a white metal MG34 and a water jacketed Maxim. It could be used for WW I or WW II.

This, plus a few other items previewing soon, would make for a great little squad level skirmish game all on their own. The Machine Gun Nest kit will be available in June with a price of $12.00. The figure is not included and is a Foundry German - a Perry Brothers sculpt.

By the way I am listening. Colonial stuff is on the horizon!

Have a great weekend everyone!
