Ten days into the Christmas sale and going strong. Haven't yet reached the point where the daily worksheet predicts me finishing after midnight ! (That tends to happen in December...).

Anyway, the sale is on, 15% off most things for another 20 days, make the most of it !

3D print production is still on hold so most of the 28mm SF range is not available But we've just raided the show stocks and updated the website, so some if it is now on sale again (at least until the very limited stock runs out).
Emergency Measures
So ... we're still in the position where we can't produce any new 3D prints, so most of the new 28mm sci-fi range is still out of production. In general we don't hold stock of many products (of any range) at the workshop, almost every order is at least partially cast on demand. However, we do reserve stock for shows - otherwise every show would involve a frantic restocking exercise beforehand.

We bring you Entertainment for the Masses ! Three new buildings in our Small Scale Scenery range - a cinema, theatre and radio station.
Entertainment for the Masses
The latest additions to our 1/1000th scale Small Scale Scenery range are this trio of buildings aimed at providing entertainment and relaxation to the general population. The most distinctive and recognisable is our circular Medieval Theatre, based on the Globe Theatre, famous for putting on the plays of William Shakespeare. The original was built in 1599, then burnt down in a theatrical accident involving a stage cannon in 1613 (!).

Inspired by the messages between @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social and @moiterei.bsky.social earlier I sat down and finished off some little star pilot guys from @brigademodels.co.uk

No idea what I'll use them for but they're fun

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

OK, so it's a bit late on a Saturday evening to be fixing things like this, but after a prompt from a potential Swiss customer I noticed that our website had switched off shipping to EEA countries. This is now fixed, so I'm prepared for the flood of orders from Norway, Switzerland & Liechtenstein!

Out Agricultural Colony buildings are now available in a third scale. We've made some 3mm Homesteads to go with Germy's tiny sci-fi tanks.
Tiny Town
Our 6mm Agricultural Colony buildings seem to be quite popular, and earlier this year we launched the 15mm versions with their separate fittings, which have also seemed to be well received. So we've decided to make them even smaller and recreate them in 3mm to match Germy's sci-fi models. The first set consists of nine small homesteads, all of different designs.

Unfortunately we've had to temporarily take all of our 3D printed items off the website. Everything is unaffected,s o all the metal and resin ranges are still available as normal.
Temporary Suspension of 3D Products
We've had to temporarily take all of our 3D printed items off the website. It's nothing to do with the printers, it's a personal issue for one of us, and we need to see how things lie before we'll be able to get things back to normal again. Unfortunately there are only two of us in Brigade and we both have specific areas of responsibility, so if one of us is…

A couple of updates - Canadian deliveries (the posties are on strike again), and our final show of this year.
Strike Two !
If you're in Canada, you'll know that your posties are on strike again. Consequently, Royal Mail have suspended deliveries to Canada once more. So any Canadian orders will still be processed and packed, but will have to sit in a box in the corner of the workshop until services resume again. Apologies to all our Canadian customers for this, but it really is circumstances beyond our control.

Down in the lower depths of Pioneer station is the manufacturing facility, where spare parts and bespoke equipment are churned out of the fabricator.
Robot Factory
Pioneer Station is a large facility and needs constant upkeep. It can't keep all the parts that could possibly be needed for repairs in its stores, instead it has its own manufacturing facility that allows it to fabricate just about anything from scratch using a combination of 3D printing and CNC. The FMAL (Fabrication Machine Assembly Line) is located in the lower reaches of the station and is mostly automated, with the crew able to program in whatever they need from a massive library of standard components.

After a write-off of a week last time round (malfunctioning cars, leaky pipes, don't get me started !) we return to Pioneer station - and someone else from the outside is interested in what's inside...
Scavengers and Mavericks
Pidge coaxed the attitude jets of the Maverick 3 into reluctant life again, slowing the ship as it approached the imposing bulk of Pioneer station. They hissed and spat erratically as the avian fought the controls and attempted to manoeuvre alongside. "Gently !" hissed Drenk. "We don't want to side-swipe this one as well". "Then stop being such a cheap-ass and get the thrusters fixed" retorted the pilot in her distinctive warbling.
