I've seen some of your new kits on the face book site , they look awesome  .Nice looking BA - 6 , Chevy truck and surprise , surprise  a kubel radio car . Man, there's a lot of parts in that J Panther photo

I noticed on the map there is a shop and drop facility. At Salute a number of stands offered to look after the purchases from them until later, which was nice but carrying capacity is a good upper limit on purchasing (navigating public transport is always on my mind).

I hope it is going well, I have never been to UK GE, what is it like?

This morning on face book I see the 222 and GAZ truck in all their glory and it says  July release huh ?  Guess I better rearrange my shelves for more models then

For those who have no access to FB, here is the art boxes for our planned July releases...  Not much, but Q3 will be huge!
Will post more show photos later on!









Enjoy!

Such lovely models!

My Russians are waiting on a fleet of trucks (and a fleet of T-26 tanks when they roll out)!

Here are the UKGE show highlights...

Our table at UKGE, our HK studio staff (Ziv & Eric) coming cover to help man the table.


Our second-generation pewter figures had obtained a lot of positive feedback on the dynamic proportional poses and casting!


The dioramas on display had drawn a lot of attention and had open up ideas and opportunities for many gamers turned modellers.


Our upcoming Q3 & Q4 releases... TS plastic painted!


New projects that we'd just started...


Showing off our TS plastics for the upcoming releases!


Our table is always busy with visitors... our UK staff Andy & Steve working hard!


Before the show closed, Beast of War & BBC Radio had dropped by to do interviews!


Enjoy!

When I see all your figure and vehicle kits set out like that and realize Rubicons  only been around for a 2 or 3 year period it blows my mind    . And the dioramas look awesome , really showing the modelling potential of what to most guys is a game piece . I always mention  your kits to guys at the LHS who are  in the process of looking for something new / different to build , usually boring them with pictures of your kits I've built . But some guys have taken the chance and are quite happy with the results , but I knew they would be . And well done to Steve on those awards for his dioramas

[Pinky]

Totally agree, Ripley.  This stand looks like the work of a well-established company, but Rubicon is still very much a newcomer. 

It would be great if this site had a gallery with photos of all of the painted models and dioramas in these photos.

You could put it in the showcase sub forum. Possibly as a sticky.
