Arcane Scenery and Models is an online model shop, specialising in wargame scenery, military models and model soldiers.
I first started trading on the web when I joined eBay back in 2001. The main purpose being to clear the clutter from my loft. I have been collecting and building models all of my life and I had accumulated a large collection of science fiction memorabilia, model kits and war gaming models and accessories. I felt that it was time to declutter and I reluctantly started to sell off my collection. In doing so I found that I really enjoyed trading on eBay and that was the start of a change in career! As well as this online shop we have a well established shop on eBay. You can see our current feedback rating on eBay here: EBAY FEEDBACK. The idea is for the two sites to complement each other. Through the wonders of technology, the two site are linked, allowing us to run with live stocks.
I have been building models since I was about six, my first being the Airfix model of the Golden Hind. I have since built most of the Airfix range, many of the Tamiya 1/35 tanks and a considerable number of Revell and other kit manufacturers products over the last 46 years! I am a keen gamer and a particular fan of the Black Powder Rules set. I am gradually building a British Napoleonic Army based on the Waterloo order of Battle. You can follow my progress on these projects by clicking into my BLOG
As well as Napoleonic war gaming, I enjoy Dark ages and the Saga rules set, The Lion Rampant rules, a Test of Honour, and have a growing fascination for the Napoleonic wars in the Caribbean. I model and paint to a good gaming standard and I did manage to make it through to the final round of the Golden Demon in 1999 with one of my models. I have a fascination for the First and Second World wars, the Zulu Wars, the Battle of Waterloo, Agincourt, the English Civil War, The Roman Army….in fact I just love military history! So whilst I’m no expert, I think that I have a broad degree of experience and knowledge.
My first full time job was as a sales assistant in Mansells Models in Paignton, now long closed, and it was there that I was able to experience all aspects of the modelling hobby and this experience has stayed with me through my life.
I used to have a very demanding full time job as a store manager in a major retail company and it was my hobby of building and painting models that kept me sane! The thing is, I know how important my hobby is to me, so I will ensure that my customers are treated accordingly. Now that I have decided to set up my own web based model shop and together with my Wife, Julie, we are gradually building the sort of model shop that I would have liked to shop in. I hope that you will too. We are based in Nottingham, right in the heart of the ‘lead belt’ and have close business relationships with many of the premiere manufacturers and designers in the war games industry.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions about our products.
Thank you and Happy modelling!

Italeri SpA is an Italian manufacturer of plastic scale models of airplanes, military vehicles, helicopters, ships, trucks, and cars. The company was founded in 1962 by Giuliano Malservisi and Gian Pietro Parmeggiani to produce accurate scale model kits with attention to detail.
History
The history of Italeri begins in the first half of the 1960s in Bologna. The company was born from the passion of the two founders, Giuliano Malservisi and Gian Pietro Parmeggiani who, since childhood, have loved airplanes and military vehicles. As demanding model makers, they are no longer satisfied with what is on the market, in a thriving and dynamic market that is in the process of progressive expansion, but they decide to transmit their passion and their search for detail in their daily work. The first commercial name of the company, officially founded in 1962, is “Italstamp” and the first kit put on the market, under the “Aliplast” brand, is a 1/72 scale model of the Italian fighter Fiat G-55. After about ten years the commercial name of the company becomes “Italaerei” and then becomes, through a small phonetic contraction, the definitive “Italeri”. The company logo, consisting of two red and green vertical bands and a stylized logo on the front of a propeller plane, identifies the strong Italian vocation and experience in the production of scale models of aircraft. Italeri has also acquired, during its operational life, the molds of the “Supermodel”, the “Protar” and the “ESCI”.
Our production
The Bologna-based company immediately established itself as an important point of reference for all plastic model makers. Right from the start, Italeri product lines are characterized by a certain uniqueness of the subjects made and by the typical quality of “made in Italy”, actually joining the English, French and German productions.
Italeri today offers a vast and complete catalog capable of satisfying the most demanding and attentive to detail modelers through new productions with a high quality level and the utmost attention to detail, the result of careful historical and modeling research and the use of the most modern design techniques. Italeri scale models cover all the main categories of static modeling: airplanes, helicopters, military vehicles, ships, trucks and trailers, cars, motorcycles, toy soldiers and accessories for dioramas.
For example, the range of 1:32 aircraft received great interest, which after the "supermodel" of the 2014 F-104 Starfighter has continually expanded with interesting and popular subjects such as the Mirage III or the recent fifth generation F-35 fighter. Lightning II. In the world of military vehicles, our philosophy is to offer accessible products, with an excellent quality / price ratio, suitable for everyone but also able to satisfy the most demanding model makers. It is on this guideline that the T-34/85 was born, particularly appreciated by the modeling “community” all over the world. Our naval line in scale 1: 35 of the torpedo boats (from the Schnellboot S-100 of the Kriegsmarine to the British Vosper) continues to be a point of reference for those who want to create a complete line dedicated to the light ships of the Second World War also suitable for the implementation of interesting dioramas. As far as civil vehicles are concerned, Italeri is a leader in the "truck & trailers" world. The wide range of trucks has been further expanded with the introduction of the new latest generation models: the Mercedes Benz MP4 Actros, and the 1:24 scale Volvo FH4. Italeri historic cars in 1:12 scale such as the Fiat Mefistofele, the Fiat 806 Grand Prix and the recent Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza by Tazio Nuvolari are very popular. Italeri also presented in 2016 the most iconic product of the Italian automotive world:
The value of communicating with model makers.
Over the last few years Italeri has also further implemented the project to involve its large audience of model makers enthusiasts through the use of the web and social media. After the modern and captivating website and the completely renewed e-commerce platform, today Italeri is present on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Our social media are used not only to communicate our activities but to give space to the creativity of our model makers friends with the publication of their creations. From the first works of the "beginners" to the modeling works of art of the most experienced, Italeri aims to be "Social" to spread the fantastic hobby of modeling worldwide.
International and institutional partnerships.
Finally, Italeri attention to collaborations with important international partners should be emphasized. In recent years Italeri has created a collaboration project with World of Tanks and War Thunder to bring the world of video games closer to the world of scale modeling. Finally, great attention to the Italian reality through collaboration agreements with the Italian Air Force, the Arma dei Carabinieri and through an interesting project dedicated to the world of schools to raise awareness and spread the culture of modeling.

Minairons Miniatures is a recently created Catalan company, whose birth date backs to September 2012 and is aimed at producing multiscale, fast assembly, quality miniatures for wargaming and collecting generally in hard plastic, but also in resin.
Minairons The company has been christened as Minairons Miniatures in behalf of the mysterious faeric beings of that name, who are reported to live in the deepest valleys of the Catalonian and Andorran Pyrenees range. Such legendary minairons are said to be minute, winged beings moving in dense, fearsome swarms. As with a number of similar beings of other cultures, minairons enjoy a dual, ambiguous nature; so that meeting them can mean for you a durable blessing or a fatal doom, even your death.
Such are the creatures we have entrusted our fate on, such is our bid.
Minairons Miniatures' ranges will usually have a close relationship with the military history of the Iberian Peninsula nations logically, with a special accent on Catalonia itself, where the brand is born. Following such core idea, our starting range consists of a selection of Spanish Civil War fighting vehicles, mainly those with a wider use in other Inter-war conflicts, or even Early World War II.
These are to be released first in 1/56 scale 1/72 scale 1/100 scale 1/144 scale and 1/600 scale, which are to be developed nearly altogether. Thanks to the CAD design techniques we use in prototyping, we shall be able to export our ranges into 1:56th scale too although at a slightly later stage, once ensured the firm has consolidated enough for such exciting endeavour.
