Ainsty Casting Company Manufacture Wargaming miniatures and Scenics in Resin and White Metal

Battle Systems is a friendly little company from the UK, and is principally Colin Young, the creator/founder. He has all the crazy ideas, designs the beautiful products and is an all round clever clogs. Assisted by Stewart, Simon, Jon and Wayne who do everything else and sweep up before lights out.

Back in 2012. Colin started out making terrain that you could print at home papercraft style and was flogging it on CDs! How the world has changed in so little time...

We soon found a way to do the hard work for you and we launched our first Kickstarter. (more on that below). Since then we've improved the designs and quality time and again, and known for high-end products at an affordable price. Easy to assemble and with no painting required! Fast-forward to 2023. And we have a huge range of fantasy, sci-fi and urban terrain. Our miniatures game Core Space is going from strength to strength with reprint after reprint. Also our long-awaited fantasy dungeon crawler Maladum is nearing launch.

Charlie Foxtrot Models design and make laser cut MDF buildings, bases, tokens and gaming aids for tabletop wargaming.

My small company is run and based in the countryside of south east Cornwall. I am lucky to share this part of the world with my very tolerant wife; Nik (November Foxtrot), a tank full of fish and a small flock of chickens. I have occasional visits from my daughter Amy (Alpha Foxtrot) who is undecided whether I am a nerd or a geek.

I have over 30 years experience in modelling and wargaming. Starting with airfix and 1/72 as a child.

As I grew up, I took a break from modelling when I discovered girls, punk rock and beer. I was later introduced to Talisman by Games Workshop in the early 1980's and this led onto Warhammer Fantasy Battles. I have been passionate about all aspects of the modelling and gaming hobby since.

I currently play a number of games which has obviously influenced my product range: Bolt Action, Warmaster, Sword & Spear, Kings of War and Sharpe Practice 2.

When not designing buildings, I am painting a Napoleonic Bavarian & Russian armies, Kings of war Ogres and Bolt action British & Germans.

Charlie Foxtrot Models unofficially started in 2013 when I picked up my mouse and drew on CAD my first buildings for Bolt Action. Initially, the models were for my personal use however the positive reaction from friends inspired me to expand on this. I had taught Product Design for the last ten years so venturing into my own product design company seemed like the next step.Charlie Foxtrot Models was launched on 21.11.14 and products were listed on E bay.   E Bay has proved to be a good start, with 100% positive ratings and excellent customer feedback. On the back of this success, I am now working full time on Charlie Foxtrot Models projects.

I have a fully fitted workshop and packaging area and the capacity and desire to expand both my business and my product range. I aim to design and make models that balance the aesthetics, playability, scale, accuracy and detail to produce a kit that I would be happy to assemble and invest time and money in myself. I try to make the kits simple and intuitive to put together to ensure that modellers have a good experience. After all, modelling is meant to be fun and relaxing. The hair pulling comes with competitive gaming!

I hope you enjoy making and owning a Charlie Foxtrot Models product and are proud to place your assembled kits on the field of battle, grace your railway layout or simply place on display. I hope to meet many visitors to this site on the wargaming show circuit where I would be delighted to discuss any ideas you may have for future projects.

ESLO Terrain Manufacture scenery and terrain for Wargaming in 15mm, 20mm 25mm and 30mm.

Frontline Wargaming manufacture various ranges of 15mm, 20mm and 25mm terrain, buildings, vehicles and figures suitable for many periods.

All furniture and vehicle ranges are now being produced in polyurethane resin, which speeds production and are more durable. I will still be using polyester resin for the larger scenery etc. The only downside is higher material cost therefore I have to put a price increase on these ranges.
