I'm giving a special plug to this up and coming company by Andrea Magnani called Arsenal Miniatures.He is starting up a range around a period not well covered in the wargames market.It centers around The Spanish Hapsburgs and Ottoman Turkish Empire struggle for supremacy in the Mediterranean in the early to mid 1600's.
The models are being freelanced designed by the esteemed Paul Hicks and look absolutely fantastic and the talented Tom Weiss has begun painting the miniatures for advertisement.Stewart Griffin of Griffin Moulds is doing the casting.This combination is producing a mouth watering line.
I'm looking forward to the release of the range as I plan on diving in.
Here is the blog address so you can follow the progress as it takes shape.
