The Coming year...
by
Anbar
on Fri 14 Mar 2008 18:54 GMT
A brief idea of what we have coming out in the next year or so:
The Workshop "Fantasy" scenic elements - we've stopped producing the kits now and are going to replace them with a wide range of small scenic elements. These will include items such as crates, barrels, vats, windows, doors and so forth in a wide range of variations aimed at the 25mm-32mm market. Although they will be run under the banner of being "fantasy" many of them will work just a swell for historical settings and a few for Gothic horror and so forth. The intention is to add to the range as we go forward in time so as to keep increase variety and to provide the builder with small components that will save them time on repetitive elements in buildings - such as windows - or provide them with complex pieces of a standard not currently available on the market - such as complex church window frames. WW2 - We are now committing to extending the range of WWII 15mm scenery substantially over the next 2 years. Rather than focusing on large buildings as have other manufacturers, many of whom already produce excellent complete buildings, we intend to produce a range similar to that in outlook as the above fantasy elements - stowage, building components, windows, wall sections, furniture and so forth. We will, however, also be extending the fortifications lines and bringing some new ideas for Objectives Sci-Fi - Sci-fi has been somewhat neglected of late and this year we will be adding some new items for 25-32mm, including more medical apparatus/machines and some new street "decorations" - futuristic ATM and similar. After many, many requests we will also start off a new line of sci-fi elements for 15mm gamers: these will initially be large scale weaponry but will also eventually include smaller elements similar to those in our existing range and perhaps a few vehicles. Overall we want to concentrate on producing elements that fit well with our existing store products and our aim of providing the scratch-builder with all they need to make their own scenery, terrain and dioramas and, as always, in the highest quality pressure-cast polyurethane resin. The Store: We're planning to add Woodland Scenics products and Plastruct during this year as well as some new ranges of embossed styrene sheeting for building materials in various scales. We've already added the extremely elusive "Silflor" and will continue to hunt down those hard-to-get items and bring them under one roof for your ease of shopping. We are always on the look out for new items and materials so if you use something that you think we should stock, don't hesitate to drop us a line so that we can take a look at it and see if we can source them. We are soon to implement the beta version of our store search engine and are in the middle of re-arranging the website layout to make it easier to navigate and will also be adding new articles to the "Info" section of the site. And by the end of all of that we hope to continue to offer you a better, easier shopping experience with more choice and good prices; backed up by quality advice from having the experience of working with every single item that we sell. We sell it because we use it; we don't use it because we sell it. Jed & Nadine. Tuesday, March 11

Testors Dullcote "banned" in the EU
by

on Fri 07 Mar 2008 18:51 GMT
As some of you may have noticed we have been out-of-stock of Testors Dullcote (spray) for almost two months or so now.
We have finally had a response as to why: Testors Dullcote (spray) contains Toluene; which is now banned within the EU. As such the "traditional" Testors Dullcote Aerosol can not be legally sold anywhere within the EU. Testors have today informed us that they are working on a new formulation of Dullcote (spray) but it may be another couple of months before it is done and able to be shipped out to the EU. We will announce when we have the new formulation in stock and do some testing to see if it maintains is excellent matte abilities, until then it seems sensible to avoid buying the aerosol from any other sources, as anybody selling it will be breaking the law. However, given that it has taken us almost two months to find out why though it seems likely that other retailers are not aware of the situation.
Antenociti's not attending Triples Show

Please note that we will NOT be attending the Triples Wargames show.
Those who have attended this show will be aware that it is a sprawling affair over multiple buildings and levels with some very poor access. It also has a number of side rooms that are hard to find and can be completely blocked off by one person standing in a doorway. Last year we had such terrible placement that we probably saw less than 20% of the people attending the show, if that. The small room on the fifth floor was hot, stuffy, sweaty and virtually inaccessible to even those who managed to get to the fifth floor. All traders complained and some were moved, however others were not moved and suffered the consequences via drastically lower sales. Many of our customers told us afterwards that they could not even find our stand despite looking for up to an hour. As a consequence we had decided that the show was not viable unless we could be guaranteed better positioning and that such poor rooms were no longer given to traders, especially given that they were charged the same price for space as others in far better positions on lower floors. Despite an assurance that we would get placement in the main hall this year we have not, in fact, been given that. As such we have felt obliged to cancel this years attendance; the huge amount of work required for the show, plus traveling and accommodation, makes it economically unsound and given last years fiasco, and the broken promise of placement in the main hall, we have also decided that we will not be attending future Triples shows. This is areal shame as it is a show that we enjoy due to the great customers that regular attend....and Sheffield has some great restaurants that we will miss! At the end of the day though a show has to be economically viable and you cannot spend hundreds of pounds in travel, accommodation and stand prices to then be left in a poky side room which can hold about 20 people in conditions reminiscent of a run-down Turkish bath house. As and when Sheffield Wargames find a better venue, one that preferably provides an even playing field for all traders, then we will be happy to attend once more. In the meantime if you were hoping to see us at Triples then please accept our apologies.
Website Reorganisation - Update
by

on Fri 07 Mar 2008 12:30 GMT
We are in the process of updating the website by changing some of the navigation, removing old pages and adding new pages with new products.
We will also be adding a beta version of a search engine that should allow you to find things more easily. This re-organization will take at least 2 more weeks and you may need to check that you have the latest version of a page by pressing Ctrl-F5. |
