Hello,
Cleaning models is difficult: they are delicate, fragile and intricate. Whether they are made of plastic, resin or metal, if you rub them the paint will flake and if you don't the dust will build up over time, unless you store them in boxes all the time, which diminishes the enjoyment you can get out of them.
The solution is to use Cyber-Clean. Despite the name taken directly from an infomercial from the 80s, it is worth looking at. It is a "substance" that will absorb dirt and dust, without the need to rub or wash your model. You can mould it to the shape required to reach tiny corners and it is safe on plastic, metal, wood and resin.
We have received quite a few exciting items lately but at the moment, they are available only if you come to the shop. They will be added to our model railway website and to the wargames dedicated website in due course so in the meantime, contact us if you require them. Here are a few examples:
Please note we try to always show new items on our Facebook page. Simply click on this link to see it and "like it" to stay informed.
People and animals bring life to a layout. They add to the story you are trying to tell and as such are very important.
We already offer lots of figures and animals, both the N gauge and OO/HO gauge however, we think you cannot have too much choice. This is why a few months ago we started stocking the full range of figures and animals from Woodland Scenics in OO/HO scale.
They are of good quality as you would expect from the American manufacturer and offer alternatives to the common Preiser and Noch figures. It means between the three brands you should be able to coaches with seated people without having to use the same figures twice. Here are some examples below. As usual click on any image to be taken to the full details. You can also click here if you want to see the full range.
Their range also include some very American centric items such as baseball players, cowboys or American football players. They will be perfectly at home on any HO layout or as a cameo on a British layout. Here are a few examples:
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.
