#44 - November 2023
Another nice load of product came in this week. We received the first of several Vallejo shipments. This one has the new Game Color sets and several of the new brush sets. While several companies offer Triads for painting the Game Color sets contains four shades (is Quadad a word?): a base color, a shadow color and two highlighting shades. Another nice feature is the back of each set contains a brief how to use guide.
The next shipment from Vallejo will contain the newly formulated Game Air paints. You can pre order them now HERE.
Our VMS shipment finally cleared customs and is here with the new Restore Brush . It was there for so long I think they were trying out all the great products VMS has.
>> REMEMBER: Get those Holiday orders in early. Beat the supply chains issues and delays!
Until next time...Stay Happy, Healthy & Hobby On!

20% off ALL TOONKRIEG BY 18CHARLIE
The ToonKrieg are 3d printed in house by Michigan Toy Soldier from the designs and files created by 18Charlie and used by permission. Because they are caricatures, they don’t follow the normal miniature scales. Notionally they are similar in height to a normal 28mm scale miniature. We list these as 1/56th scale and they come in somewhere around 1/48th to 1/56th. They are great for use in wargames, modeling or just for collecting. Use your imagination and have fun with them.

Utterances...
"I hate turkeys. If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys. There's turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. Some one needs to tell the turkey, 'man, just be yourself."
