THIS EPISODE: A SIXTEEN 12 UPDATE

I’ve been busy recently, taking more photos for Sixteen 12 Collectables of more prototype models for some upcoming releases.

In spite of the strange times we're living in, there's some super models on the horizon, but obviously I can't reveal photos of any of their new stuff until they officially announce them themselves.

But we have already seen a few prototype photos showing the soon to be released deluxe ‘Earthbound’ episode set, now along with an exclusive look at the new box  packaging. Again, with the Covid 19 pandemic currently upon us release  and delivery dates are a bit up in the air at the moment, to put it mildly.










Sixteen 12 have also given a first look at the new ‘The Infernal Machine’ episode set which features two of the three Alpha tanks (The first, originally part of the earlier Product Enterprise Deluxe Eagle set, was released as a bonus model with the Sixteen 12 ‘Breakaway ‘part 2 episode set)  






Here's what Sixteen 12 say in their latest update:

"Dear All

Although its emphasised that the two Alpha Tanks are still very much in the process of development here's a couple of photos of the original filming props for initial comparisons.
