New from Upstairs Downstairs

Upstairs Downstairs has just released the Paint Shaker by Timodel. This device saves you time and effort by mixing all types of paint in a fraction of the time that it would when mixing by hand, it produces a thorough and consistent mix every time which is essential for serious modellers but cant easily be achieved manually. The Paint Shaker has the added advantage of mixing paints whilst still inside their original sealed containers, therefore avoiding unwanted splashes, drips and spills that you can experience when using a conventional stirrer. The robust cradle and straps will securely hold bottles, tins or jars of paint up to 35mm in diameter making it compatible with all major brands of paint for modellers. Specifications - Compact - Operates on batteries or a mains power supply - Can be used with tins, bottles or jars of paint - Mixes enamel, acrylic, lacquers and washes - Produces a consistent mix every time - Clean, fast and efficient - A valuable aid for modellers with dexterity conditions - Includes 3 straps - UK mains adaptor included It is in stock now and can be ordered from our website.

Feature on A to Z Models

I have been dealing in Vanguard since they were launched in the 1996 at Toy Fairs and I may have met of you across the years. I regularly attend Sandown, Maidstone, Brentwood, Windsor and others including NEC, St,Neots and other venues. Oh how we miss these toy fairs, for not only are they a place to do business, they are a place for social gatherings for people with a similar interest in the model collecting world. I have made many friends and associates over the past 20 odd years and I dearly miss the early rise at the weekends, going to venues along empty roads. I look forward to the day this Pandemic is behind us, the few outdoor events I attended in the past few months have been welcome, but the winter weather has put a stop to them. I continue to keep in contact with collectors and other top dealer mostly through Telephone and emails and via this site. I closed my website 2 years ago as it had failed to pay for itself. I am old school and people are free to contact me via this UK Model Shop web site. I have many customers who have contacted me over the past month wishing me well and I thank them for their kind words. In future articles I will include more photographs. The one I am using here is the one I use on my banner on my UK Model Shop banner. I am fully stocked on all Vanguard releases over the past few years at reasonable prices. I do not advertise on any other web site or ebay. The Ford Granada Mk2 Cosmos Blue is also in stock along with other from the 1/43 Vanguard range. I also have a large stock of EFE that I have failed to mention on previous updates. Looking forward to hearing people and this pandemic being history.
