BravoGoGo -Winter of '79
Bravo Go! Go! Winter of '79
As an experimental alternative to running a KS, I'm giving a discounted pre-order scheme a bit of a run out. Pre-order the next batch of our '79 Brits and Paramilitaries and not only do you help get the following batches of armed police and armed civilians closer to being produced (ie within a couple of months rather than waiting into the summer), but you get a healthy discount on the RRP AND you get a free Iron Lady as a thank you for essentially taking a big leap into the unknown*.
Main Goals:
- Further Brits to bring them up to Section strength with platoon command
- More Paramilitaries to bring additional poses and support options
'Stretch' Goals:
- Armed Police & Detectives
- Post-punk Armed Civilians
- SAS/Close Observation Patrol with US weapons
The Brits and Paramilitaries are all in various stages of being sculpted, but I'm waiting on an ETA for those and the follow on stretch targets (hence this is still in a 'soft launch' phase).
This scheme will run from now until about the end of March. If by then any of the stretch targets aren't in a position to be completed, 'backers' will have the option to take a refund or wait it out.
More info, targets, concept photos (where applicable) and in time the WIP shots, available here:
Brits & 4 Paramilitaries on the workbench:
*Those who pre-ordered previously will get her too with their next order.

Fame or Infamy? WI Review
"PROS: All the figures are well sculpted, arrived as very clean castings and have suitably realistic poses. They have a touch of character on each one, whether moustaches, facial expression or stance."
"CONS: These could be seen as quite a controversial range..."
Hmmm, perhaps I'd best stop Google Image searching the Baader-Meinhoff Group...!

Stock & Diecasts
So, the first stocks of the War Correspondents and the first packs of W79 Paramilitaries and Brits are in...
www.mikebravominiatures.com
Limited stocks available for now but more are on order.
PLUS: I will shortly open pre-orders for the rest of the Brits and Paramilitaries. As these aren't quite ready for release, so these will be at a healthy discount*. PLUS there may be an exclusive free figure available to tempt you in. Call it our version of a Kickstarter. [*The intrepid souls who pre-ordered our initial release will have this backdated]
I've also been on eBay for diecasts, with mixed results:
Solido 1/55 Gazelle:
