Welcome aboard, I have been collecting and selling 1:1250 and 1:1200 scale waterline ship models since the 1970s and here you will find ships and accessories by Navis, Neptun, Triang Minic, Trident, Ensign, Oceanic, Target, Fleetline and Eaglewall to name just a few of the makes listed. This website is a completely re-vamped version of my older website which had been in operation since 2012 so many of you will recognise it. PLEASE NOTE If you were a customer on my old site you will still need to create a new account and password here I am afraid as it is a completely new website . I try and keep postage as low as possible and post promptly. Most orders are despatched within 24 hours of receipt whenever possible. As well as pre-owned water-line models in 1:1200 and 1:1250 scale I also produce an extensive range of spare parts to help with converting and scratchbuilding. In addition to these, I also produce a comprehensive range of spares for the original 1960s Triang Minic 1:1200 scale waterline series. As well as ship models, I also list aircraft, road vehicles, locomotives and harbour parts in the same scale., my aim being to offer a one stop shop where you can buy a variety of items in one order and save on postage and searching elsewhere for the odd item. All pictures accompanying the model description are of the actual model for sale and not library pictures. I am always happy to provide further pictures of any items on request - as a collector myself I would always rather be pleasantly surprised when I receive an item than the other way around and I am also happy to help with any queries on any aspect of the hobby. If you have any surplus models I am happy to make an offer for them or exchange for models on here. I add new items daily so there is always something new to see.
I send out a newsletter monthly which contains short articles on the hobby, covering early makers, tales told to me by my father who served in the RN from 1936-49 and many other subjects including hints on modelling, painting etc. I also like to include items of interest from other collectors so please send them to me! Please subscribe to the newsletter if you would like to receive these.
PLEASE NOTE! The models listed here are collectors models and not suitable as toys or for those under 14 years of age.
I hope to be of service in the near future! Best regards and welcome aboard!
