Subject: [OFFICIAL] Not just ships....!

To add to this week's FT starship releases, we now have the following new
additions to a couple of other ranges....

DIRTSIDE (DSM and DF Code) 6mm ranges:

DF-W01  "Stalker" Light Scout Combat Walker (small walker, about 20mm
tall) - pack of 3.
DF-W02  "Talon" Light Attack Combat Walker (small walker with turret,
about 20mm tall) - pack of 3.

DF-X01          Alien Xenomorphs and Alien Bounty Hunters - 10 of
each (20 figures in total), beautifully sculpted in 6mm by Tom Pope.

DSM-147 Engineering and recovery vehicle accessory parts pack -
contains assorted dozer blades, crane jibs and excavator buckets, to convert
most 6mm tank chassis (ours or other makes) into recovery or combat engineer
vehicles!

All the above DSM and DF packs are 2.50 GBP each.

Plus... our first new GC (Gentlemens' Collectables) figure for some time!
Following a long hiatus, we are finally getting back to some new GC releases,
and the first of them is OUT NOW:
Jolly pervy as usual, strictly for over-18 customers only!

GC-44   Girl in fetish boots and rubber basque, hands manacled to
spreader bar. 2.00 GBP.

More new GCs to come soon, any requests/suggestions welcome (by
off-list email if you don't want your particular "likes" spread
across public mailing lists...... <GRIN>)

Oh, and just one more.... some time ago we did a trial figure (in response to
a particular customer request) of a very "St. Trinian's" style schoolgirl in
full charge, with straw boater and combat hockey stick! We've not actually put
her in the lists until now, but at long last here she is:

SCH-01  Sixth-Former attacking with hockey stick                1.00
GBP.

All these figures are fully available and will be on sale at Bifrost this
Sunday! Pics of all as soon as I can do them.

When will the pics of the walkers be on the website?

Oh, and for what it's worth, I've seen the Alien Xenomorphs and Bounty Hunters
that Tom Pope sculpted. They are REALLY nice.

Finally, Jon, thank you for making the engineering conversion packs! Makes my
life much easier.:)

I've just emailed them over to Paul a few minutes ago, they'll be up as soon
as he can find the time....

Well, your interest and ideas on them was a large part of the decision to make
them available as a regular pack!

Jon,

That's great! If you don't mind, I would love it if you could send them

to me as well. I won't post them anywhere without your permission, but since I
have an outstanding order... maybe if I like 'em I'll be adding.
:)

Also, just as a side note, I really like the new ESU ship designs. They

have the same basic layout as the old Superior "Carnivore" ships (now from
MondayKnight productions, I think), but are SO much better. Nice job!!!

Do you really mean all? There's a hell of a lot of stuff on the GZG site which
have no pictures, and given 'what it looks like' is probably the most
important consideration when buying a miniature, it sort of defeats the point
of an online store.

I actually meant for GC range figures, but then again I strongly suspect you
knew that already.....

So, taking this at face value (probably a mistake):

OK, if I can get someone to sculpt these, who would actually buy
them....?  ;-)

I mean "all" the NEW items, because I'm now photographing them as I
go along,  something I didn't/couldn't do years back when a lot of
the range were released (it's now so much easier with digital!!). The whole
store is due to be revamped soon, and hopefully Paul will be able to put pics
to most items at that point. In the meantime, we have the full catalogue up on
the store as a free download (linked from the front page), and it has pics of
most of the ranges in it.

If you can get this up to a full squad of different figs (6-8
poses/variants), then I'll take a squad. Just to annoy people here at
the club:-)

Remember, even light is shaped by the darkness that surrounds it, and the true

No, that's the "SG15-SFE9 Science-Fiction Egyptians with Sheep-head
helmets (6 figs)". Only available in 15mm though, since Eureka ceased making
the

25mm ones <g>
