Leon,
are the WW1 ranges being photographed? Could do with a picture of BP15 British Highlanders....

Those are next on the list so shouldn't be far away.  I've got the last of the WWII stuff to do today/tomorrow and then I'll get Dave started on spinning up all of the WWI ranges.

More pics tonight!

This underlines how much work is involved in producing these photos

Thats a hefty batch. Well done all

Some great extra's in the Soviet Miscellaneous batch - I can think of a lot of uses (mainly for FWC) for those fuel tanks especially.

The interwar range is also really inspiring - that VBCW project might see light one day!

Looking forward to hear the verdict on the Boer war armoured train. With some cleaning up and some more detailing this could make for an impressive model!

Cheers,
Rob

It's quite a chunk!  We've got it down to about 4-5 hours per 20 product codes, which includes the casting, assembling, blackwashing, photo'ing, editing, uploading.

On the new website I might make a new 'Useful Stuff' section where we can duplicate all of those barrels, boxes, drums, etc that can be used anywhere.

I'll have a look at this in the summer I think and work out what the best approach is.  It's probably 20+ years old as a model so needs upgrading at the very least, but it might be something I can look at getting remade as a 3d design.

A few more added tonight in the WWII section with the Aircraft mostly done now: https://pendraken.co.uk/world-war-ii/aircraft/

Yes, great range of guns: Everything form a potato digger to a long Tom.

After a bit of a delay during our big move, we're back to website photos now with all of the Revolutionary period codes done:

Austrian - https://www.pendraken.co.uk/austrian-595-c.asp
French - https://www.pendraken.co.uk/french-596-c.asp

Well done that man

More photos added to the website today with the East Africa WWI ranges done:

British: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/british-663-c.asp
German: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/german-664-c.asp
Misc: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/misc-665-c.asp

This leaves 283 products still awaiting images so a decent chunk to go.  The good news is that 131 of those are WWI ranges that are away with various painters and we should have them back before the end of the year.  The other big area is redoing all of the Dungeon images but I want to make some new moulds for all of those first.

Well done that man    

[Leon]

With photos added to most of the WWI ranges now, that takes the outstanding tally to 192 products awaiting images and means that over 95% of our catalogue is now photo'd! 

From the remaining items, the WWI Germans are away with a painter and the Middle East ranges will be blackwashed next month I think.  Then we need new moulds and new images for all of the Dungeon ranges which ticks off another 65 products, so there's a chance we might finally have them all done before the end of the year.

Well done that man

All of the WWI Middle East ranges have been done tonight, as well as a few missed codes dotted about the website: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-world-war-i-middle-east
