Wearing Chinese-made tactical equipment and armed mostly with the Type 88 rifle, this squad showcases the army&#8217;s modernisation. Things aren&#8217;t entirely aligned with their regional rivals, though &#8211; there is a distinct lack of suppressive and anti-tank weaponry by default, with the squad having a pair of RPK-74s and two figures with rifle grenades. There is also a mix of poses within the squad, although they all have an aggressive offensive feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most people have a different image when you say North Koreans, and that&#8217;s where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/north-korean-worker-peasant-militia\">North Korean Worker-Peasant Militia<\/a> comes in. Dressed in clothing that wouldn&#8217;t be out of place in the Cold War and armed with a grab bag of weapon systems, this pack includes everything from Mosins, DP-27s and license-produced PPSHs up to Type-58s (AK-47s), the RPD and the RPG-2 for support. This pack has plenty of uses outside of Ultramoderns but is also perfect for whatever situation you may need North Korean Militia for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, both sets are available as physical and STL releases. Additionally, during the launch weekend, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/north-korean-new-release-deal\">a bundle deal that will also come with the early release of a North Korean General<\/a>, perfect for getting a scenario up and ready (especially if you have a pile of Tier 1 sneaky types).

Having painted these figures up, we may also see a painting guide for them over the next few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flank March Miniatures Updates BRUDERKRIEG 1 And More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057d8ba4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057d8ba4\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33575\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-4-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Safe to say, I feel like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flankmarchminiatures\">Flank March Miniatures<\/a> has done rather well with his latest Kickstarter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/flankmarch\/bruderkrieg-1-cold-war-east-german-infantry?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo07uyf6az\">BRUDERKRIEG 1<\/a>. The project still has 9 days on the clock but it has absolutely smashed it goals, even reaching the end of its stretch goals. This means that pledges at the all in tier will be getting a massive number of infantry, support weapons and vehicles, as well as parts for all three formations included in the Kickstarter &#8211; mechanised infantry, elite paratroopers and the militia ready to form up if East Germany were invaded (a fun tweak to the usual Cold War Gone Hot). Now, with Reforger, this was the point where Steffan at Flank March started sweating and disappeared down the Stretch Goal hole, frantically sculpting more. This time, however (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/flankmarch\/bruderkrieg-1-cold-war-east-german-infantry\/posts\/4670958\">as announced earlier this week<\/a>), he&#8217;s taking a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057d90b8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057d90b8\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33577\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-6.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-6-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, the next Flank March project has been announced. As you might expect, if you bring the East Germans you will also need to bring those boys to the West of the Inner German Border, the Bundeswehr. The aim is for this project to be released later this year, meaning that by the end of 2026, Flank March will have complete ranges for all of the Big Five nations of the Cold War (Brits, Soviets, Americans, East Germans and West Germans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057d94e3&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057d94e3\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"904\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33578\" style=\"width:auto;height:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-7.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-7-116x150.jpg 116w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the big news is that Flank March is also taking a big step later this year. Along with BattleGround HD, BobMack3d and Full Metal Miniatures (you may have seen them hanging around together at Salute), they have helped to drum up more interest in Cold War Gone Hot gaming in 28mm. The next step? Going into Plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic is the final boss of a wargaming period, the last stop that a genre has to reach before it can hit the mainstream and get in front of the regular wargamers. Flank March is working with a plastic manufacturer to prepare kits of the American and Soviet releases, tweaking the STL figures to suit plastic tooling and production. This is a great thing to see, but as you might expect, it might end up taking a little bit of time getting things ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we should be seeing the East German Wargaming Guide soon &#8211; I&#8217;ve been chatting to Steffan, and he has been really in the weeds about making sure the guide shows off the differences between them and the Soviets, bringing that difference to the table. If you&#8217;re interested in getting your hands on the figures to go with it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/flankmarch\/bruderkrieg-1-cold-war-east-german-infantry?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo07uyf6az\">BRUDERKREIG 1 <\/a>will be running for another 9 days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pegasus Miniatures Shows Off Another Paramilitary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057d9b57&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057d9b57\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33589\" style=\"width:8000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-4-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A new week means a new preview from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61584987884046\">Pegasus Miniatures<\/a> of their upcoming figure range.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a new page has popped up on Facebook for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61572060045179\">Warfront Studio<\/a>. These guys have come out swinging with a promise to make HIPS Plastic kits for Ultramodern US and Russian, promising a whole load of things from a single spure (including support weapons, head options, and more). The image above shows some of the initial items being test-printed, and there are more previews on their Facebook page, including an assembled Russian RPG gunner and a pile of US Military heads. I&#8217;m going to keep an eye on this project and see how they go, but part of me is very cautious &#8211; this page has appeared from seemingly nowhere (without familiar backers or notable names in the space), mentioning a plan to release via Kickstarter but with two sets fully funded to make in plastic, a cost that is not small. We shall have to see where this goes, but it has some potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black Hills Games Provides An Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057daed6&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057daed6\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"629\" height=\"450\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18.png 629w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-18-150x107.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another month, another text post update from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/blackhillsgames\/posts\">Black Hills Games<\/a> with not a preview in sight. Putting aside the hot water from the March IDF release, we have some additional news of future plans from BHG. This month&#8217;s release will be IRA fighters of the 1990s, inspired by films such as Patriot Games and The Devil&#8217;s Own, and featuring several paramilitaries with a mixture of small arms suitable for the early 1990s. This set should be out before the end of the month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other side of the news is that Black Hill Games has announced that he will be starting work on a Kickstarter set, intending to cover the operators from &#8220;13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi&#8221;. This is a project that BHG has been interested in for a while, but wants to spend more than a month working on the figures. There is no other information currently available so stand by to see how this project goes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat Octopus Releases The D-Boys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057db49a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057db49a\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33580\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/combatoctopus\">Combat Octopus <\/a>has released the long-awaited Delta in Somalia set.

In addition to the weapon options and modular parts, there are also pre-assembled versions to get them on the printer and in action as fast as possible. The head options are also great, with several options based around the Protec helmets and goggles, complete with comms and dust goggles. Overall, these sets are great, but if you want them from Patreon, you&#8217;ll need to hurry &#8211; they will only be available until the end of the month for Patreon prices, before appearing on MyMiniFactory later. Next month&#8217;s set will expand on this theme, bringing NVG options and more variety to the load-bearing kit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern Miniatures Shows Off His Greenhouse and His Herbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057dd2e3&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057dd2e3\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33592\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-7.jpg 820w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-7-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-7-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mere hours after I posted last week&#8217;s tease, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/cw\/Modern_Miniatures_eu\">Modern Miniatures<\/a> decided to show off more of the greenhouse that he has been working on for the May release &#8211;

There are several cool additional elements, such as the loading dock at one end for your trucks to pull up to, and the optional side door piece to give you more tactical opportunities. And this is even before we talk about the transparent PLA pieces used to make the glass, something I haven&#8217;t seen before, and now intend to take a good look at. It&#8217;s going to be incredibly useful, with the modular aspects letting you build everything from the centrepiece of modern high-end terrorist plots to a point of interest in the post-apocalyptic future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057de2d7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057de2d7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1093\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33588\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-3.jpg 820w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-3-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-3-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f4a057de7a2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f4a057de7a2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33590\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-5-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, as with any greenhouse, you need something to grow inside.
