I have added a set of UK Phone Boxes to my Shapeways store in a series of different scales. N Gauge, TT Gauge, HO/OO Gauge, 28mm scale and 35mm scale.

They are also available to buy in resin on eBay in TT gauge, HO/OO gauge and 28mm scale.

I have been selling my 28mm scale petrol pump models on ebay for some time now but recently I have made them in more scales and put them for sale of Shapeways.

There are two types of petrol pump for sale, the 1940’s/1950’s style with it’s deco look and and the 1980’s boxy ones. Each one is now available as N Guage, TT Gauge, HO/OO Gauge, 28mm and 35mm.

War Memorial, Statue Plinths and an Angel

I was asked a while ago by a train model maker if I could make a War Memorial for his train layout. I loved the idea and in the end I made a memorial in four scales. As well as being a model that can fit onto a train layout, I think it would also make a great piece of street furniture for wargames and tabletop adventures! As you can see from the image above, each scale is slightly different. I put in as much detail as I can for each scale.
They are all available on Shapeways now N Gauge, TT Gauge, HO/OO Gauge and 28/32mm scale

I have also made just the plinth available to be printed so that you can add your own statue on the top! The Plinths are also in N Gauge, TT Gauge, HO/OO Gauge and 28/32mm scale.
I liked the Angel on top of the largest plinth and so she is on Shapeways as her own 32mm miniature figure! Unlike the Angel on the plinth though, her sword is not pointing downward but is in fact pointing upward ready to fight!

A short blog post today about Sci-Fi boxes and Geebles.


If you don't know what Greebles are, it's a term first used by model makers during the making of Star Wars back in the 70's. It means all the fiddly detail bits that are added to things like vehicles and buildings to make them look more interesting and they also help add a sense of scale. There is a fine article about greebles on this Den of Geek page.
In the ebay kit I sell you get a bunch of resin greebles and also two resin boxes onto which the greebles can be attached in whatever ways you want! the image below shows one such configuration.

You can check out more of the photos from this setup on my blog post here
Also, the greebles can be bought on Shapeways here and the greebles and boxes are on Shapewas too!

28mm/32mm Customizable Manhole covers

As some of you maybe aware, I have made and sell a set of eight 28mm/32mm resin manhole covers on my ebay store that can be used to add some fine detail to street scenes and dioramas. The Manhole covers are especially good for Victorian scenes and one of them mentions the notorious Victorian district of Whitechapel!

But I have recently made them available to buy on Shapeways here but three of the manholes have also been edited to make them customisable within Shapeways! You can now add a name of a person, street or city to one of three manhole covers! The three options are City of Cardiff, Cavandish and Co and Whitechapel.



You load up the page and you can add your own text to fit onto the manhole cover. The covers are only 28mm/32mm scale though so you can't fit too long a word onto the cover!
If you want any of the manhole covers to say different words around the edge and maybe mention a particular name, city or company, please message me and I'll see what I can do!
I also have a 28mm/32mm shoulder pad that can be customised with an image.

I will be adding some of my own shoulder pad designs to Shapeways this coming week. If you have a design you want to put onto a shoulder pad, let me know and I can make the pad and upload a set of ten or more to Shapeways for you to buy your own design!
