Ainsty

The following is a standard 'Press' release which is being sent to wargames product review websites which have been kind enough to review Ainsty products in the past. In the late 90's Ainsty introduced a number of new models as accessories to the then 'Pirate boom'. Models like the FL42 small boat became instant best sellers as did the FL46 (wooden)and FL48 (stone) Jetties, FL 41 (Trade
Goods I) and FL 45 (Trade Goods III). This small range claimed five of the places in Ainsty's top twenty selling items.

For some time the potential to expand the Trade Goods element of this range into something akin to the Science Fiction 'Cargo Hold' range has been needed, giving both the historical and fantasy gamer a selection of accessories to enhance their games. Ainsty is a company owned and run by wargamers and most of the model makers are also involved in the hobby. 

A chance involvement in the 1920's Yangtze River of China saw a number of models made for personal use which were also
perceived to have commercial potential. The 'Trader' range was born! The dozen items listed in Fantasy Ligne, together with repackaged crates from Cargo Hold and some 15 new items, ranging from boats, jettys and trade goods now appear under http://www.ainsty.co.uk/trader.htm with the pictures on that page leading to an individual page for the model.

As with all our new pictures, we include a selection of wargames figures to give the customer a visual idea of size and scale.

The new Trader range will be officially launched at the Claymore Show in Edinburgh on 2 August 2003. (We are gamers and like to support the shows!) The range is available for orders from July 2003.If this release prompts any questions, please contact myself (Mike) at ainsty@btinternet.com

Thank you
