I'm going to have to postpone sales to the US until this 'tariff' issue is resolved.

When a solution appears then US orders will be open again.

Big thanks to my American customers and hope that it won't be too long before I can serve you again.

Here's a picture to make up for it.

LIVE Review – Tales of the Old West TTRPG by Effekt Publishing | Wild West Tabletop Roleplaying YouTube video by Dungeons and Dyslexia

An excellent review of #TalesOfTheOldWest! Particularly considering that three of the four reviewers HATE the #YearZeroEngine

On the right is a 28mm scale vsf harpoon gun painted grey with some suitable weathering. On the left is the officer who is in charge (navy blues and a pith helmet).

The one in the foreground looks useful as a Chetnik partisan.

Wouldn't you know it... but they even come with a very special How I Paint Things! It's been a little while since getting back to my roots and just drybrushing highlights on to things to let a bit of dust and grime do some storytelling, but we are so back, baby.

Fresh greens just delivered by Kosta! These 28mm Soviet Scouts and Sniper Team are straight from the sculpting table. Kosta's worked his magic on the scout team, while Alan has crafted a beautifully detailed female sniper to complete the unit. #ww2 #wargaming #historicalwargaming #Eurekaminiatures

Two bags of plastic palm trees just arrived, allowing to move ahead with my planned WW2 North Africa setting for a wargame campaign.

Cheers, thank you. The book will be very handy even without a detailed list for the 8th army.

Really excited to see Courage in Contact launching on Kickstarter tomorrow!

Alan at White Dragon has created a really well-researched Ultramodern USMC range with everything you could want on your tabletop and it’s been incredibly fun to work on.

I found some 3d printed scenery on etsy from Canada. The items were a fantastic price, but the postage to Australia was similar to your experience.

Thank you for assisting with the answer, and oddly connected, as I will be using 'Five Men at Kursk' for the rules to the games I play.

Given that the uniform does most of the heavy lifting for the miniature, these guys are actually pretty fast to paint! There's nothing that says 1980s like BDUs and an M16.

The Italian Royal Guard has marched into the AB Figures' range. Sculpted by Tony Barton, these figures are proof that you can never have too many tiny high society chaps to paint.
