Early War Miniatures

Just a short video peek into the workshop and a mould being cast.
I shall be doing more content in future as we now have a Vlog camera and pair of mic's. As I do more, I hope to improve the technique.
Its a misty day here, not so hot as the last few days. More workshop tours planned. Also a return to the Table Top Tea Time Chatter, us gassing about models, mould making, miniatures and more, in the time it takes to drink a cuppa......

The wonderful Partizan show is fast approaching and EWM will be there. If you want any of your products can I urge to to send us a show pre order so you can collect at the show.
Also, as a small business we encourage our customers to pay with cash, but we can do card transactions if needed.
There is a lot going on here currently which has impacted my ability to get the EWM webstore repopulated. The German Kommando raid investigations are producing some more exciting results.
But we still make all the same models and more, that we have done for many years now. Our ranges cover from 1914, through the interwar period and up till 1945.
If you cant see what you want on the webstore, you can order by email at [email protected].
Looking forward to seeing many of you at this favourite show.

EWM is at the wonderful Beachhead show in Bournemouth this weekend. We shall be bringing our selection of models including some new items, to the show. I have watch this show grow and become more and more successful over the years run by my good friend Peter Valinski of Entoyment.
We shall be giving a talk on both days covering the emerging story of the German Kommando raid on RAF St Lawrence in 1943. This is an investigation I have been running for 9 years now, it being so close to where I live on the Isle of Wight. I plan to cover some of the hypothesis I shared with professor Simon's that led to our getting permission to run a archaeological dig on site in January 2024. Using forensic techniques, hours of study, you may be somewhat surprised by what has been uncovered from our third witness, the ground. The St Lawrence Hirtenbergers will be on display. Their discovery and subsequent confirmation is a story in itself. We shall look at aspects of the cover up evidence with recent military documents from Kew confirming aspects of this investigation. I hope you will join me at 2.00pm on the Saturday and Sunday to hear some of the very latest updates including secret German maps discovered nearby 81 years after the war.
The more we dig, the more we find.......

The webstore rebuild has started. A whole new range has been added to the EWM webstore for Early war USA Pacific. These are new to the site and our customers. They are mostly from the excelent ranges first produced by Sargent Major Miniatures. 2 years ago, I did some remastering work on a good number of them, removing the heads so as to make them separate head option models. I did also add a new figure with a Lewis gun. So the range is shown and where the “old” is part of the product code, these are the original models which are single piece castings. The new remolded models dont have old in the product code. The 10 man sets are a mix of both types. You can find them here : https://earlywarminiatures.com/index.php/product-category/wwii-early-war/usa-pacific/

On the store now........Enjoy

We are going to to be taking the full emerging story of German Kommando raid exhibition to the batttles through history show in Ardingly West Sussex on October 4/5. There is a wargaming element to this show, so a chance for interested folks to come have a look at what I have been doing, down here, on the Isle of Wight. Its the first time we have taken our exhibition off the island. Hope to see a few of you there perhaps.....PaulT@EWM

We are pleased that the "Nothing to See Here" Exhibition around the emerging story of the German Kommando raid on the Isle of Wight Radar station at RAF St Lawrence, is coming along to the show.
The exhibition features some their star finds namely the St Lawrence Hirtenbergers. Austrian 9mm bullet casings fired from a Walther P.038 German service pistol within the context of a fire fight on the cliff edge, within the defensive perimeter of the RAF radar station, into which 3 hand grenades were thrown. Context really is everything.
There will also be a daily talk. Head to ther FB page for more info, Raid Interest Group Communications Page

A short update - We are at Partizan in October, so please get those show pre-orders in.
We have not been idle so here's a peek at some new stuff now on the store.

Some new things from EWM. After remastering the 38T tank, I set about the Marder III H. It now comes in EWM Super cast with 2 crew figures.

I also finished a Bridge I had been working on for some time now. That too was given the EWM SUPER CAST treatment, and the results are here to see. It can be connected to our flexible Cobbled Lanes or roads. I have also made the large town or village square with its beautifully detailed cobbles, in solid resin. Most village or town squares are normally flat. So this seemed a good candidate to make in SUPER CAST resin as well.

Looking forward to Partizan very much. A chance to see out Tom and other friends in Nottingham again.

I have had this master of an Alvis Stalwart for many years now. It is a complex model, with a large, cab that cannot be cast without showing the internal details. The 6 large wheel stations make it a complex model to cast. Well, I finally sorted it with the body and wheel stations all cast as a single casting. The cab details revealed with another complex casting sorted. This version comes with the Hi-Ab lifting arm. I have always had a soft spot for cold war vehicles, owning both model and full sized examples. This was a challenge but now sorted. Available by request if your into Cold war models like me?

Hope to see a few of you there perhaps,

Its been a while since I posted any new models here on EWM. The modelling Mojo has returned and I finished off to new masters that I had started some time ago. The PZ 38T and its campaign version are now on the EWM site at https://earlywarminiatures.com/index.php/product/german-pzkfpw-38-t-campaign-version/

https://earlywarminiatures.com/index.php/product/german-pzkfpw-38-t/

Both models come in EWM Super cast resin, have separate turret with optional open or closed hatch. A fine early war German tank commander is also supplied should you wish to have the turret open. The hull comes complete and is built and ready. Both models come with unbreakable Ariel's.
The Campaign Version of the 38T is covered in stowage including jerry cans, tarps, bedrolls, water bottles, tank tracks for extra armour and a tow chain fixed to the rear. Same format but with an additional spare wheel if you wish to add to the vehicle stowage.
Both models with images are now on the EWM store.

Another addition is a late WWI Canadian armoured Machine gun carrier. This was a master gifted by good friend Jan Giesber's many years ago. It now comes in EWM SUPERCAST. Just add the wheels, MMG on swivel mounts and steering wheel. Crew will follow.

The EWM store rebuild is progressing albeit slowly. Remember, if you dont see something on the store, you can order by email to [email protected]

Some new additions to the EWM webstore. Indian Army 1914 onwards. For both European and Middle East fronts WWI.
Newly moulded and remastered elements.
Im uploading British 1914-1915 later as well. These are mostly brand new designs, some made earlier but never released.
Its proving to be a slow process uploading products to the store, me being the choke point. Some exciting developments on the German Kommando raid front have consumed more time, but the results are outstanding. More to follow on that front later. For now, Please enjoy these new WW1 and Interwar additions to our vast ranges of 20mm Scale miniatures and models.
