We will again have our family pewter line at the Ohio Ren Festival this year. We have upgraded to a shop which is located just a bit past the swordsman stage on the inside track near the creek between Safer swords and Loyal Clown Jewels on the way to the bridge over to the mud show.

The first weekend the fair admission is buy one get one free !

Check out the fair at www.renfestival.com/

We have started development on a line of 28MM scale troop miniatures for TechCommander. The current plan is to release a expansion book product with these with aerial units, new MSV units, more vehicles. UAV and UCAV units, and perhaps even spec ops and counterintelligence units.  More updates soon on this.

We are in late development, and second round remolding on the Troll, Hunter IV,  and Paladin units.  We are hoping for a release for these timed to Pentacon in Novemeber

We also are in final dev on a few more Cog units that will be released as completed

For Sailpower we will be releasing a couple of new ships including the HMS Speedy/ Sophie and our new 28MM brig

We will be returning with Valkyrie Pewter to the Ohio Ren, and will have a shop located across and 1 booth south from where out tent was last year.

We are currently looking at returning to Advance the Colors, Pentacon, Con on the Cob, and Charcon!
