It was a pleasure to meet up again with our good friends from Plus Models at this year’s Scale Model Challenge at Veldhoven in the Netherlands; and as usual, we have come away with news of some new releases.
There is a new range of vignette bases in 1/35th scale that would make a simple but attractive way of displaying your models.
