We mentioned getting another one of these a long time ago (back at the start of 2014 for those interested!) and we've finally saved up the pennies to get it sorted out and delivered!



Having the extra mould press means that we can double our mould output, so instead of Dave only getting one mould done per 2-3 hours, we can now get two made instead.  With the huge number of sculpts sitting in the drawers in the office, this is a real boost and means we can get cracking on all of these new releases.  Also, we do a lot of work for other companies, so we won't have to delay our own releases while doing other folks' moulds anymore.

Several £1,000's of them...  The plan was to buy it last year, but we've been putting a lot more money into the design budget for the Warband expansion, so we didn't have much spare to put aside for this.  It's going to be a huge help to us, so it's great to have it here now.

Surely the manual is used for steadying the wobbly corner until the first disaster  :D :D.

Now this one has TWO gauges and is yellow:-

Do we hear the anguished cries of another cline being spawned to use it?

Excellent news.
