Andy has started to move into this minellium!

The Kelly's Heros Site and the Britannia Miniatures sites have been merged and the products are now available from:


grubbytanks.com

This is a work in progress but we have people ready to paint figures/ vehicles, photograph them and upload them over the winter to ensure that every item has an image.

New items will also include unit deals, painted figures as well as painted vehicles and now coat de arms paint.

Grubby Tanks will be attending Warfare at Reading 14th/15th November.
Pre orders to grubbyt@hotmail.com

Thank you! The old website was a pain in the you know what to navigate.
I have noticed of late that there is a lot more resin flash than in the past on his vehicles. Any explanation?

New resin moulder who is still learning…… General wear and tear on the moulds, some moulds are Dave Howitt old for the less popular vehicles which still deteriate even if they are not being used….

Fine line between getting another few vehicles out and quality, again the moulder is not a war gamer so needs to be taught what is acceptable and what is not…..

Moulds are being replaced all the time as and when they wear out.

All excuses I know but I will pass on your comments to Andy but if you are unhappy with any of your vehicles let us know and we will replace them….

What scale are these?

wrgmr105 Nov 2015 3:53 p.m. PST

Schogun – they are 1/72 or 20mm. Nice stuff, good price.

Bc1745 – thanks for the offer. The SDKFZ 234 I received a few months ago was well….awful. I spent over and hour carving our wheel wells, and a ton of extra resin on the turret bottom. A couple of Opel Maultier's had the back box walls broken in transit. Glue fixed that. The canvas backs don't fit very well due to excess flash and misshaped edges. There's just in general overall extra flash on all the vehicles I've purchased lately.
I understand a new moulder, that's what I thought actually.

Vehicles I've purchased in the past were great. I really noticed this because a friend of mine received the same SDKFZ 234 over a year go with no flash at all.
No need to replace, they are ok and in the process of being painted. Thanks for your offer!

Wonderful.

Would so much love to see the website fill out and the business flourish. There is so much great stuff "hidden away" and I also think various new releases that haven't found their way to the website. Plus Andy's a great guy to deal with.

So best of luck.
