Hello, I am Allen Rockwell. I am the owner and operator of GameCraft Miniatures. When you place an order here, I'll be the one that oversees the making of your miniatures and often I'll be the one doing the actual work, and I am the person you will be dealing with when you write an email or call the shop.

GameCraft Miniatures is a company that has been a dream of mine for about 30 years. I started gaming with Micro Armor in the late 1970s with my friends in Lomita, California on a sand table in my friend Robert's back yard. I built a pretty impressive collection of 1/285th scale modern armor and aircraft; much of it heavily modified and even some pieces scratch built. Eventually, I graduated from 1/285th scale wargaming to full-scale wargaming when I joined the US Army in 1983. After returning from service in the Army I went to work as a Wind-Tunnel Model Maker for Northrop Aircraft in Hawthorne California. Since that time, I have moved around between a few companies as a professional model maker and eventually, along with a good friend, I ended up buying the company I was working for in the mid 1990's, A&M Model Makers. Many years later, I sold my portion of A&M Model Makers to my business partner and started working on my dream of creating GameCraft Miniatures. So, while it may seem that GameCraft simply sprung up out of nowhere on March 10th 2009, it's really been in the works for about 30 years.

I have my own Micro Armor blog which I maintain at www.allensmicroarmor.com If you are interested in 1/285th scale (6mm) gaming, you may find it interesting.

If you have any questions or comments or need any help at all on anything, please feel free to email me personally at allen@gcmini.com

GameCraft is my full-time job, and I'm always here for you. However, my shop schedule is opposite of most people as I work the "overnight" shift in the shop. So, reaching my phone is not always easy, but if you would rather call than email, you may do so on 865-985-0645, just please expect that you will probably be leaving a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hornby Hobbies develops, manufactures and supplies hobby and toy products for a global market. With a collection of truly iconic brands spanning model railways, slot racing, die-cast models and plastic model kits.

 A Brief Hornby Hobbies History

Hornby Hobbies’ journey began back in 1901 in Liverpool. When founder Frank Hornby applied for a patent in 1901 to protect an invention he called Improvements in. Toy or Educational Devices for Children and Young People’. This became Meccano, and in 1964, Hornby and Meccano bought by a rival company, Tri-ang. Hornby Railways became independent again in the 1980s. And has continued it's legacy as one of the most iconic companies in Britain.

The Beating Heart of Margate

Hornby has been a famous fixture in Margate, Kent, since 1964 when Tri-ang acquired the company. The impressive Hornby factory site at Margate constructed by Lines Brothers Limited in 1953 as a purpose built. State of the art model production facility for Rovex Scale Models Ltd and their world famous Tri-ang Railway system. The new factory housed the technical, experimental and development departments of the company. In addition to a limited manufacturing capacity for their brand of Tri-ang model railways.

Hornby Hobbies’ Most Iconic Brands

Hornby is a household name and is famous as the UK brand leader in the model railway hobby.  The company’s founder was Frank Hornby. (1863 - 1936) who applied for a patent in 1901 to protect an invention he called. ‘Improvements in Toy or Educational Devices for Children and Young People’.  Nobody then could have imagined how this product would influence the model railway hobby that we know today. Frank Hornby, granted his patent and soon put the invention into production under the name ‘Mechanics Made Easy’.

Now simply called "Hornby", the company justifiably retains the position it has held for more than 50 years. As Britain’s leading model railway manufacturer.

Scalextric is the ultimate motor racing system

Scalextric is the ultimate motor racing system for all ages. Where miniature cars race against each other on special track. Getting their power from a slot in the middle of each lane (you will sometimes hear Scalextric called slot racing). Invented, Fred (B F) Francis, the very first Scalextric, made in Havant, Hampshire in 1956. In 1968, Hornby Hobbies acquired the company and was instrumental in shaping it into what you see today.
