Some new releases, Battleground and Recon

In keeping with our aims of at least getting some new items out in these pressured times, I am delighted to be able to give you news of a small but important little batch of models for your delight and delectation.

The Cart is back up and running and we're off to Warfare!

I am delighted to say that the shopping cart is now back online.   The Tech Chappie's work has finally paid dividends and I am assured that all is as well as it can be.  

We're in the final stages of getting ready for Warfare, and we'll have a few bits and pieces available at the show ahead of their general release.   FIrst of off the blocks is a Great War MKIV male tank.

Shopping cart offline for a few days

Many apologies all round, but I've had to take the Baccus shopping cart offline for what I hope will be a very short period.   Paypal recently 'updated' their gubbins and in doing so changed things which caused a number of issues with our (and many other) shopping carts.

It's that time of year again!

We are about to embark on the lunacy that is the Late Autumn show season.  This will see the Baccus road show supporting five shows in a period of just six weeks.  'Madness!', I can hear you all shriek, and you would be absolutely right.

Things will kick off this weekend with a trip to Fiasco in Leeds, move on with our annual visit to Crisis in Antwerp.   After a weekend off, we then move through the gears and tick off Warfare in Reading, Battleground in Middlesbrough and rounding it all off at Recon in Pudsey.   After that we fall over in a gibbering heap.

Some actual new releases at last!

After a fairly lean few months, I am really pleased that we've got some new releases on offer in the form of three Great War vehicles.  The first is a beautiful model limousine, which is sure to add a touch of class to any aspiring general's HQ.

Still working away...

I know it's a long time between updates, but to paraphrase one of the late Terry Pratchett's wonderful literary creations, 'WE ATEN'T DEAD YET'!    In fact we've been tearing into the backlog of orders and getting the pile down very steadily, so delays in getting your wee men will decrease rapidly.  Not much in the way of new items for you, as master and mould making have been the casualties of this process, but here's some of those nice teaser photos for you...

Colours and something new at last!

Well, almost...

As most of you will have gathered, of late I've been manacled to a casting machine fulfulling orders rather than gadding about trying to get new stuff out.   To be honest, that's still the case, but with the Derby Worlds going AWOL this year, there is a six week window to catch up on things and get some progress made.

The Other Partizan and Baccus Orders

We're gearing up for the other Partizan show which is coming up this weekend.  Sadly, we've not been able to restock in full following a very busy show at Claymore, so if you know what you'd like to collect at Newark this Sunday, please do get in touch and let us know so that we can be sure to bring it for you.

Travelling to JOS18? Please Read!

Despite signing up for any updates we didn’t get any information on this at all until a couple of days ago, our contact at Sheffield Hallam University told us that they had just received the information that there was something going off.  Even at this point, there are no published details of the times and points of road closures.

Shopping cart off line

We're facing a HUGE amount of work over the next few days in the run up to the Joy of Six. As a result I've had to turn the Baccus online ordering system off until this time next week.

We can still accept pre-orders for collection at JOS but you'll have to make them by phone or by email. To be honest if you know what you want I'd recommend that you do get in touch. It's going to be busy and we can't stock in too much depth.

On another, possibly happier note, given that we are looking at potential clash between the latter stages of the JOS and a certain football match, we are making contingency plans should our chaps knock more goals in to the net thing than those bods hailing from the Balkans this coming Wednesday.
