Yet two new RetroTracks kits are out this month: they are the long-awaited trailer sets meant to complement the fine 1/72 RPM Lorraine 37L and 38L kits. RetroWings fans will also welcome the eventual release of the 1/144 Hawkeye folded wings set. And let RetroSF fans know that no less than 3 new items have found their way into our catalogue!
Above all, for me, the highlight is the release of Un-dead Bride, my first ever attempt at sculpting a large(ish) scale bust... (the bust is just under 8cm high). I've just completed the painting of one of the resin kit, and I must say I'm pretty pleased with the whole affair:
The end of the summer should see all the backlog of new masters caught up with and finally cast, but there will still be a few older kits that will remain unavailable until probably the end of 2010. Despite the summer and reduced spare time due to my other job (see Face/Off), plenty of new kits are still being developped, including a Matilda I and a Jagdpanzer Kanone for RetroTracks, a number of busts and an Escape Pod for RetroSF, Alpha Jet and Rafale update/detail sets for RetroWings... Although the first RetroWaves kit is however not expected until early 2011, the also long-awaited RetroTracks35 and RetroTracks144 ranges should come to life by the end of the year: the 1/144 ADGZ armoured car and a St Chamond are being finalised; more details on the larger scale range can be found on the RetroTracks35 page, here.
