The first year working on a semi retired basis
has gone so quickly and I wonder what we managed to acheive during this first
year. We are both in good health and are now getting ourselves
organised to tackle 2011.
We apologise to those collectors who may have
gone to the December Toy Fair at the NEC only to find it had been cancelled days
before. We would have appreciated some notice from the organisers since we
has to make the 250 mile round trip to find out. So a whole months work was
completed but we were unable to deliver due to the show's cancellation.
In 35
years of toy fairs this was the first time a show had been cancelled.
Anyone would have thought we were due for some bad weather, as it turned out it
was one of the mildest days in December 2010. We will
only be attending the NEC Toy Fair, see show date page for date and time
details.
We will be open for telephone calls and visitors
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 0900 in the morning through to 1600 hours in
the afternoon. Bank holidays
are not included. We are available by email at any time.
Some of the NEW or RE-INTRODUCED models are
listed below. I will update the model list with current prices as soon as
I can. I have to apologise for the many blank spaces on our web site, this
is because I do not have the time it requires to complete everything and
continue producing the models. Available as KIT or BUILT.

British Army with gun or jib mounted.

Army, Medical and Polish Army.

As the list above indicates we have had a full
program for 2010 and 2011 should be as exciting with the new models
proposed. As with all of our business we need you to keep buying within
the limitations and deliveries we have set ourselves.
Kits will be offered with delivery times of 1 or
2 weeks. Built models are more complicated and time demanding so delivery
times will be more drawn out with typical deliveries of 2 or 3 months. So
we ask you to be patient and we will get there in the end.
We thank you for your continued support and we
look forward to another exciting year, hopefully another 3 or 4 exciting
years. By then I may have managed to build the many 4x4 models I
still want to have for my own collection.
If you have any questions please call or email
and we will try to answer them for you.
