Title: New 10mm Bridges and Tents released!
Post by: Leon on 16 August 2023, 10:04:49 PM
We've got some new 10mm scenery up for you next with a few additions to our Bridges and Tents ranges.

First up we've got a fantastic large bridge in both intact and ruined versions.  This is a single arch stone bridge with a roadway width of 43mm, so loads of room for your vehicle bases to drive over.  The span of the arch is around 30mm as well.

Over on the tents side we've added a few new types aimed at the Colonial period and specifically the Anglo-Zulu War.  Firstly we've got some small Zulu grass huts, a type that would have been used when out in the field as opposed to our larger family huts.  We've also got a British HQ marquee tent that should work fine in most Colonial conflicts.

And finally there are some ridge tents in erected and collapsed types that should be fine for any number of 19th C. games.  These are around 14mm overall height so will be a little taller than a 10mm figure (on a base).

Nice, the HQ could also work for the medieval period too!

Do I need them? Yes, of course you do

More to the point, will I remember to buy and then paint? Why not think of laying up a pleasant surprise in the future for yourself?

All good stuff, and good to see some items back in stock. Note - the bridges should work for Baccus 6mm as well. Allows based tank to trundle over.

Memory lane: Does any else remember buying two Matchbox Sherman Firefly kits so as to have both sides of a destroyed bridge?  :)

Since when has finding unpainted anything been a "pleasant surprise"?

+1 (or should it be +2)

That is a blast from the past. 

The hanomag came with a handy wall. 

What did the Churchill AVRE come with - feel the broken bridge would have been more appropriate here?

An earth ramp, by the look of it.

Not that far back for me - I actually did buy 2 Firefly kits earlier this year as part of my "back to 20mm" indulgence  :D I wanted both tanks but 2 halves of the bridge certainly came into the calculation!

Admittedly they were Revell Germany not original Matchbox... but still makes me happy since I could only afford one back around 1978.
