[GZG] Some special items available from the GZG stand at SALUTE....

Earlier this year, an old friend and keen fellow modeller, Jim 
Langer, sadly passed away in very unfortunate circumstances, leaving 
a VAST collection of stuff he had built and collected over many 
years. On behalf of the beneficiaries of Jim's estate, we have been 
asked to help sell on some of this huge collection.

Several years ago, Jim produced a couple of scratchbuilt 25/28mm 
hover APC  masters and some interesting 15mm SciFi buildings (the 
buildings being a mixture of scratchbuild work and kitbashes from 
various surplus toy parts), and had just a small number of each cast 
up commercially - but for various reasons, they were never marketed 
in any way as far as we are aware.

The vehicles and buildings are all pressure-cast in a hard expanded 
urethane foam, the same material that the old Ian Weekley 
"Battlements" buildings were made from - in fact, the production runs 
were done by the same contract caster.
They are extremely light, but with an excellent surface finish and 
easy to paint, cut, drill and sand.
The buildings are all single-piece solid castings, and the two 
vehicle types each come as single-piece hulls with separate turrets; 
please note that NO WEAPON BARRELS are supplied with the APCs, but 
you can very simply add something from plastic or brass tubing and/or 
anything you have in your spares box.

We will be offering these items for sale at SALUTE later this month; 
sorry, but there will be no pre-orders taken for them, it's strictly 
first-come-first-served. IF we have any left at the end of the show, 
then we will offer the remainder by mailorder, probably by direct 
email and/or through the Marketplace forum on TMP.  Apologies to all 
those of you who are outside the UK or who cannot attend the show, 
but we are so busy at the moment that this is the easiest way for us 
to handle this. You can always ask very nicely if there is anyone who 
is going who would be prepared to pick some up for you...?

Please note this is being handled by me personally, and NOT as part 
of GZG's regular business. This is a once-only sale of existing 
stock, these items will not be produced again.
