Spithead miniatures have announced they now have sufficient supporters to commission a limited edition set of 1/1200 models of the Imperial and Shogunate fleets for the Boshin War.
Spithead work on a "pre-booked" sales system for all their non-core (and very limited interest) model ranges. People who want them, pledge to buy them when they are available. When enough people say they want them, 10 people, the molds are made and that number of sets of models are produced. The number of supporters required is basically the amount of good quality castings that 1 set of molds will produce.
If anyone else is interested in getting this set of models they need to drop Spithead a line on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/spitheadminiatures ) and commit to the purchase.
Given how long it has taken to get the needed number of supporters for this set it is very unlikely to be available again as it would need the same number of new supporters to run a new set of molds.
