Today sees the release of more resin buildings to support Germy's 3mm sci-fi range. This time we've rescaled our existing

So we're already into the second month of the year, after what may well have been the longest 31 days ever (I think we said this last year, but it's true again !). But the Christmas backlog has gone and mail order is running smoothly again, and we've also been able to restore our 3D printed ranges to the website. One minor blip - the resin casting pressure pot has sprung a tiny leak, but it's in for repair today so won't affect production.

Some good news - we're finally able to resume 3D printing again after the enforced hiatus over the past couple of months. We've restored both the 28mm sci-fi range and our WW1 vehicles to the website, and we're slowly building up stocks for the upcoming shows in Tonbridge and Newark.

For this Friday's offering we return to the place our 6mm building ranges started, an unnamed but substantial township in the heart of the desert. Recent expansion has required the building of additional living space, and a new type of accommodation. Larger than many existing dwellings, these vaulted roof houses are constructed from the usual sand and resin mix, but with variations in design according to the needs of the dweller (or simply the whims of whoever built that example).

There was a quiet, celebratory happy dance as the workshop door was locked on Monday evening. For the first time since early November, we were able to leave with the order queue empty - we are finally up to date again. All outstanding orders up to and including January 25th have been cast, packed and shipped (there have been more orders since then of course - the queue never stays empty for long).

We had a couple of Swiss vessels in our Imperial Skies range for many years - so many that we don't know how old they are ! We took them out of production a little while ago due to mould issues, but we've finally remastered them and can put them back on the website. The Zürich and Neuchâtel are both cruiser sized vessels with a multi-hulled dirigible configuration.

Order update - we're doing pretty well now, orders up to December 27th have been packed and will go in the post tomorrow, and if all goes well at the workshop today we'll have finished December's orders and be well into January's. Our second release of the year is in the Small Scale Scenery range with further additions to the…

We're slowly working our way through the backlog - some of the last few sale orders are quite large so have taken a while to cast up and pack, but we're getting there. All sale orders are now completed and the last ones will be sent off to the shipping hub tomorrow, and we're well into the batch that came in after the sale had completed.

So that's the end of 2025 - not a classic year for many reasons, both major geo-political 'the world's on fire' ones and things closer to home. The one good thing that could be said about it is that it was over quickly (or to us it seemed that way - maybe we're just getting older). In many ways, we'd much prefer a more boring 2026...

Our sale is over for this year - thank you all for your orders, large and small. As always, there has been a small rush of last-minute ones, so now begins the hard work of getting them all cast, packed and sent out before the Christmas break. We've tried hard to keep up with orders as we've gone along but we can never keep up, so the next ten days is our chance to clear the backlog. We're hoping that we might even squeeze in a new release before Christmas, let's see how we get on...

The sale has entered the last 24 hours. It finishes at midnight tonight (UK time) - the works out at somewhere around 1-2am Monday in most of Europe. Don't get caught out in the USA/Canada - midnight UK is 7pm on the US East coast and 4pm on the West coast. And it's sometime in the following morning in Australia depending on your state. We only usually hold one sale event each year, so this is your last chance until 2026.

As we enter Saturday, the sale is down to less than 48 hours.

The sale has only three days to run.

Four more days until the end of sale...

We're entering the last days of the Christmas sale - you have until midnight on Sunday (UK time) to pick up a few bargains.
