3/24/2020

0 Comments

 
As you will have now seen and/or heard, the Government asked all non essential businesses to close yesterday 

Having checked the details, it seems that Post Offices are allowed to remain open and therefore, for the moment we are still able to post out to you all

Royal Mail increases post prices from 23rd March 2020

3/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Royal Mail has increased the cost of all postal services, both UK and International, with effect from Monday 23rd March

Our website has now been changed to reflect these increased prices and we have also made some revisions to postal service available

Within the UK, we are starting to move away from using Hermes as a lot of our up to 2 kilo parcels are now being sent first class with Royal Mail. The price is comparable and we are finding that they arrive a lot quicker in most locations

For our heaviest items, we are now using Parcelforce's tracked 48 hour service

Covid19 update - business as usual where possible

3/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone 

Just a quick note to say that we are working from home and have been able to continue to work more or less as normal. We are able to get to the Post Office each day to send items out, but we are not encouraging anyone to come and collect items from us for obvious reasons

Don't forget if you are stuck at home and having the time to model, we'd love to see your builds on our Facebook page, even if you don't usually post. Exchange ideas and suggestions to help everyone else through their self isolation 

Lastly, we would ask you to please follow the government advice and then we can all come through this together safely 

Hopefully we can see one another at some events later in the year 

Stay safe and well

​Dave and Julie

New 7:1 gears available soon from Taigen

3/14/2020

​Just to let you all know that I have had an email from Taigen to say that they will no longer be making their 5:1 gears. Taigen are replacing 5:1 gears with a 7:1 version to fit all tanks apart from the Panzer III. I have asked what will fit the Panzer III and they will let me know. The 7:1 version will be available from May. Factory pic of prototype mock up gears attached.

Delays in receiving stock

3/6/2020

As you are aware, the current health scare is affecting movement of both people and freight 

Due to the travel restrictions and the reduced number of flights, we are experiencing some issues with restocking some items 

Items are being received slower than usual, so please bear with us during this time 

Thankyou
