The Motor Pool 3.0: New Features

War Stories

While our designers are hard at work grafting our new responsive template onto our site, we thought it made sense to preview some of the new features being incorporated throughout the site. First off, we’re creating a brand new section called “Insterstellar Warfare”. Essentially, this is our Diecast Military Science Fiction section on steroids, which will discuss the genre as it relates to books, films and other related material. With Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40K, HALO and other brands expected to dominate the headlines for the next few years, we thought it made sense to give this genre its rightful due.

Also being work on is a brand new section called “War Stories”. While its name isn’t set in stone yet, the idea behind “War Stories” was something we always wanted to develop fully but never had the resources to flesh out. Here. we will be examining particular weapons systems, units, armies, etc. in detail, incorporating maps, videos, background histories et. al. from across the web. Hope you enjoy some of the new features headed your way.

Update: Currently, we anticipate rolling out the new site on Friday, June 5th. Stay tuned…

Still More Fabbri Enters the Battlefield

EMAM18

There doesn’t seem to be a week that goes by when we learn of more Fabbri military vehicles headed our way. This isn’t a bad thing; far from it, we love the line because it tackles subjects no one else has done and are priced at a paltry $11.99. Anyway, several new prosucts are expected in July, so here’s the run down: a French AMX Leclerc T5 Main Battle Tank in United Nations livery (#EMCV017), a Russian T-44 Medium Tank – Summer Camouflage (#EMCV018), a US M548A1 Tracked Cargo Carrier (#EMCV028). a Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces Type 90 Main Battle Tank (#EMCV029), a Russian 2S5 Giatsint Self-Propelled Gun (#EMCV034), and a British Centurion Mk.3 Main Battle Tank (#EMCV035). We regret that a number of photos show the product still in their blister packaging and will replace them once more suitable imagery becomes available.
