As a new player forgive me if I am asking a repeated question - is there any plans for the balloon models to be rereleased ?

I'm not the most informed, but there is a plan. However, it is pretty far down the list, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Someone else may have heard a rumor I haven't, though.

AIM are resin models which are affordable, very easy to paint and hard wearing, link below:

Alas... The look awesome but come unpainted. Not for me I'm afraid.

That's a great resource -and will do for the forseeable future but sure will get the wings of glory ones when finally released. As a matter of interest whatis the rough size of the official bases?

David - check out 'Clippers list' in the Sale/Trade section. End of page 3 or 4 (forget which)...there's a balloon...

Many thanks - I think with the current resale price on auctions will wait for the re-release . A couple of weeks ago the rules set was at a silly price of £140 then overnight Amazon was selling the new issue at £28. As much as I would like a couple of sets I will wait patiently unless something affordable comes along.

Tim might even swap one for some sails of glory ships, his collection is a bit low atm. :takecover:
