1. Perhaps some boats and small craft in 10mm - the sort Scotia Grendel do in 1/300. 

More boats is on the cards but will be a longer-term project currently.

2. The 1/300 naval market (the Lucrative Seas ?) is buzzing.  A lot of loyal Pendraken customer base dabbles in it.  Room perhaps for a few merchant ships like www.wargamesgazette.com supply for US market?

I'm not sure on this one, Cruel Seas has definitely created a buzz but there's so many people on eBay jumping on it with resin and 3D prints that I'm not sure if the trend would have died down before we had chance to do anything.

How about a 10mm sloop or brig for .. oh I don't know ... Pirates?

As with the boats above, something we'd like to do but not sure where to fit it in, or how best to go about it.  Resin would be big and heavy, MDF is an awkward medium for sloped hull sides, plastic would be the ideal but is far too expensive to look at.  I'll keep thinking...

3.  A trench system to go with the trench railway.

This is definitely on the cards, I'll be talking to John in the next couple of months about getting this sorted out.  We've got some basic trenches from a while back which have never been put into moulds, so we'll start with those.

That was one of the ways the Medmenham section spotted launchers, as Germans, being efficient, would drive out, collect the launch trolley, turn around and drive back, leaving a distinctive pattern in the ground.
I'll get a photo of it tomorrow.

Any thoughts on making the trolley?

Already in the range, code GRX15: https://pendraken.co.uk/world-war-ii/german/misc/  I've not seen it in a while myself so I'll get a pic sorted out for the website.

GRX15 V2 with launch trailer + towing vehicle sounds more like this :-/

Although not a WWII gamer, I really like the look of that model and it will make a superb objective for many players.

Aha, you spotted my deliberate mistake...!  :-[  We'll have a look at a V1 trailer for the future.

A lovely bit of kit!  :-bd

That has the potential for a wonderful Steampunk (or later) space ship.

Leon.

Have you considered putting the metal bits (sentries, dog & V1) as a separate item?  :D

Possibly, the V1 is already available in a 2-pack as code GRX14, and we'll be looking to use the sentries with our checkpoint model as well.  I can always code them individually as well if people want them?

Oh yes.  :-[

Sorry. Read that as 1 x V2 not 2 x V1.
