Hello,
We are now in September and you know what it means: this is modelling season! Forget about getting muddy growing marrows and other vegetables no-one buys in supermarkets, forget about doing barbecues till late at night, forget about having to keep children and grand-children busy. The whole day is now yours to do what you enjoy: making small things that look that big ones!
In case you have forgotten how enjoyable it is, a modelling exhibition should be enough to remind you. And as it happens, there is one next Saturday 16th of September, from 10am till 3pm at St John's Church Annexe in Sandown. Postcode is PO36 8EQ if you are using the eyes in the sky to guide you.
As usual for this exhibition, you will see a mix of miniatures, railway, planes, boats, dioramas and friendly people. Entry is only £1 and under 16 get in free. If you plan on going, you can register your interest on this Facebook event.
If you are looking for something even easier to put you back in the mood for modelling, what about a free magazine? The latest issue of the Guide to Railway Modelling is now available and is still free. Simply click on the picture for full details.
Model Scene is the name of a range of items which will find a place on any layout. They are the ex-Merit items and are now owned by Peco. Available in OO gauge and N gauge, they are suitable to bring life to your layout. Here are a few examples in OO gauge:
And some examples in N gauge:
If railway is not your thing and you are more interested in WWII wargaming, please note we have received lots of new Bolt Action items. These 28mm (1/56th scale) items are suitable for most wargames and are also great for creating dioramas. The Battle of the Bulge campaign book below comes with a free limited edition figure and the Dad's Army set is well worth considering for something a bit different!
Finally, just a quick reminder gift vouchers are available all year round.
If you are looking for a present for someone or a beloved one does not know
what to give you for your birthday, gift vouchers are the answer. Simply
contact us for details.
Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.
Remember, you can park for free for one hour on the High Street and for as long as want on the Esplanade. So no excuse not to come and visit us!
Upstairs Downstairs is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am till 4.30pm and Sunday 1pm till 4pm. We are closed only on Monday.
