I recently talked about how I had found some new Star Trek models from a Japanese company called Furuta.
It would appear the boxes I saw were from the second series of models that the company have released and that my first assumption that they contained only the original series USS Enterprise, it now appears that each box contains a random ship – which makes it annoying if you want to collect the entire set!
Remembering the Normandy landings…
Today is the sixtieth anniversary of the Normandy landings, the start of the liberation of Northern Europe and the end of the Second World War.
Remembering those who fell in the largest amphibious landing in history.
Those of you who have looked over my website will realise that I have quite a large section devoted to Star Trek Full Thrust which covers using GZG’s excellent Full Thrust rules in the Star Trek universe.
I have a large collection of MicroMachines Star Trek ships and sadly these are now no longer available.
I was in Forbidden Planet and have found a potential source of models from a Japanese company called Furuta. Forbidden Planet only seemed to have one model, the USS Enterprise, but it looks like they could be useful as they may be bigger than the MicroMachines models.
I have added a range of photographs I took at Bristol Conflict.
There were some nice games and I particularly liked the Ork Gargant “Dropship” or should that read Asteroid!!!
The highlight for me was the Warhammer World Ork army on display.
Went to Bristol Conflict today and though there were some great looking games, I was very disappointed with the availability of miniatures.
There were some pre-release miniatures, in the main Storm of Chaos, however the Forgeworld stand seemed to have about three models… and the Specialist Games stand had very little of the new Epic Armageddon miniatures around.
Still I had a good time.
