Crafty Hobbies has recently acquired a large collection of second hand kits which we will be sorting through over the next few days. Part of this collection are a large number of military figures modelled in plastic, resin and metal.
We have a large selection of Mountford Metal miniatures 1:35 World War 1 military figures, horses and guns.
Some Andrea Miniatures metal figures in both 54mm and 90mm scales. These are highly detailed metal kits with subjects ranging from English archers and Knights (c. 1300) to Canadian mounties (c.1970).
And always popular several boxes of Airfix military figures in both 1:32 and 1:76 scales.

Tabitha has been helping add stock to our website.

If you call at the shop and find us typing away please know that we're not ignoring you, nor are we doom scrolling on social media (well not always). To keep going in a competitive market we have to ensure that new items are added to our website or eBay shop as soon as possible. Plus of course ordering new stock, paying bills, and answering messages.
Take a look at all the new stock on https://craftyhobbies.co.uk/ to see just how busy Tabitha has been.

"you've got lots of lovely stuff, I could spend ages browsing".

Gulliver has become a regular in our shop, but he still hasn't decided what to buy. Maybe he's waiting for the Hornby A4 'Seagul' to come in to stock? Or perhaps he fancies building the PM Model kit 'Flamingo' ?
