May '40 Miniatures available to pre-order from Sally 4th

[Chris Abbey]

The full range of 1940 Dutch Army from May '40 Miniatures is now available to pre-order from Sally 4th Website.

These are on pre-release at the moment, and will be released by May '40 Miniatures at Crisis on 5th November.
The Platoon and Army Deal is only available up until 4th November.



Any figures pre-ordered from Sally 4th can be collected from the joint Sally 4th / May '40 Miniatures Trade Stand at Crisis, or will be posted out by us on our return from the show.



I'm very excited by this release, Sander has done a fantastic job getting this range into production, Michael Percy has done a great job with the sculpting and the attention to detail and pose, so I am looking forward to seeing some Dutch armies take center stage on wargames tables across the world.

This is great news - I've been awaiting these with much anticipation over the last few months (still have to wait another few weeks, though!).  The pre-production pics of their planned Landsverk armoured car are very mouth-watering, too.

[Chris Abbey]

Indeed. I was talking to Sander earlier this morning and I believe the 'Verk' went off to the printers yesterday.

It maybe obvious somewhere but I didn't find it - what's in the platoon deal?

I've just updated the four photos of painted miniature packs with large scale versions and will update the other photos as Sander has better quality photos available.



The larger images can be seen by going to our May '40 page and clicking on a particular pack, to go to the detail page.

I have just added a photo gallery to our May '40 page to show off some of the lovely painted examples of the 28mm WW2 Dutch Army miniatures.

Last night I finished painting and basing my first batch of the excellent 1940 Dutch figures from May '40 Miniatures. Just 6 in the test batch, I have the other 42 primed and ready to go. The figures were a joy to paint, great lines and easy colors. Sally 4th is the UK stockist, we have them all in stock for mail order from our web site and we will be carrying them on our trade stand at UK shows. Our first shows are Vapnartack in York, ROBIN in Nottingham, Hammerhead in Newark. I'm planning to have a complete platoon of Dutch in our figure cabinet by the first show on 5th February.

A stack of new options are being added to 28mm WW2 Dutch armies.

Available from both May 40 Miniatures and Sally 4th.

I have just put a quick and easy painting guide together for WW2 Dutch infantry, to help put platoons of Dutch figures onto the table top in double quick time!

I've just finished painting up my 1st platoon of WW2 Dutch Infantry from May 40 Miniatures.



I've put a short article together with a stack of photos on my hobby blog @ http://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/Hobby-Pages/Hobby-Blog

Wow, they paint up pretty well. I also like the clear baseing. How do you attach them to the bases?
