I've finally bitten the bullet and started to print my models in a bigger scale - 1/76th. Actually, it involves a virtual total re-draw of the original design, to enhance all the detail and add more, so they are almost new designs entirely. Depending on the feedback and demand, I may add more in due course, especially of vehicles that aren't available elsewhere...
Currently, we have an AEC Mammoth refueller, Alvis Salamander, Scammel Major Mark 11 and Land Rover TACR1 - see the individual product pages to order and for more photos of each design.
Now added these civil trucks to the range, covering several decades - the Bedford C-type (1959) is the earler, smaller version of the S-type (which itself became the RL in military service). A Leyland Terrier from the 1970's, currently with 'pre-wheely-bin' refuse body... and a modern DAF LF55 (2001) which is still a common sight.
All of which are available in N, 144th and 200th scales, with other body types to follow in due course.
Meanwhile, the Thor set will make an interesting addition to anyone's collection (comprising missile on trailer, Leyland Hippo tractor and convoy escort vehicles). In addition to the military Series One Landrover developed for the Thor set, I have modelled versions in 3 other body styles. And don't forget the British Army RE Field Tractor, nicknamed 'Mollie', which would be equally appealing in civil colours...
I thought it's about time to make buying my models a bit more professional! All my existing designs - unique to me and now well over a hundred - are available to purchase in unpainted form. Please have a look around...
Like a lot of people, I've been making models of all sorts since getting my first Airfix kit as a kid. When I couldn't find the particular truck I wanted for a military rail project, I took the plunge into 3D printing and everything snowballed from there! I find the whole process fascinating - from starting with a blank screen to ending up with a finished miniature model!
Thanks to the support and feedback from a number of my early customers, I have been encouraged to expand the range of models to cover a wide range of civilian, military and aviation subjects. The only downside is that now I don't have much time left for my own modelling!!
I use a 3D liquid resin printer, which provides superb detail, despite being a slower and more complicated process than simple filament printing. I do all the 3D drawings myself from scratch - most of the models are designed and drawn in 1/76 size, then scaled down to the required size - usually 1/144 scale or 1/152 (for N gauge). The detail achievable is pretty impressive...
My subjects are a mix of my own preferences and customer suggestions - so if there's a model you need and can't find anywhere else, drop me a line and I may be able to help! Also, since they are all my own drawings, I can sometimes customise the basic designs to make particular vehicles.
My miniatures are made from a liquid photopolymer resin, which is cured with UV light to harden it after printing. This results in a hard, but somewhat brittle plastic - which can easily break if handled carelessly. If you drop a model onto a hard surface, it will probably shatter!
The printing process requires the addition of supports - I try to remove all trace of these, but you may need to do some final cleaning up before painting - use a fine file or sharp craft knife.
Minor blemishes in models can be filled with regular plastic filler, but do not hesitate to contact me if you are unsatisfied with the quality of the model you have received. Models are best primed before painting. If necessary, parts can be glued with a small amount of superglue.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MODELS ARE SUPPLIED IN GREY UNPAINTED RESIN UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED - PHOTOS OF PAINTED EXAMPLES ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY
My models are detailed miniatures for serious modellers, intended for static display
- they are not toys and are unsuitable for children
