Tiny Tin Troops : New ACW flags
The first of the new ACW range is now up on my website.
flags ACW Union (tinytintroops.co.uk)
The ACW Union range has a total of 36 different sheets over the 6 sizes on offer (6, 8, 10,12 15 & 18mm) and includes both named and generic versions of a variety of designs for National colours (Stars & Stripes), Regimental colours and State colours.
Designs are all based on historical flags drawn to give the best effect at scale.
Laser printed on high quality paper and shipped in a board envelope to ensure that they arrive undamaged.
The CSA sheets should be available in a few days.
Future development of the range is planned with 1/72 versions in June and more state & unit flags later this year.
Don’t forget that we now have magnetic sheeting back in stock and the ‘For Sale’ pages have had new items added recently.
Tiny Tin Troops : New Stuff
The ‘For Sale’ pages have finally been updated with some new items.
Many existing items are reduced in price so well worth a look.
Find them all HERE
I’m still going through the stuff that has come in and there will be more items going up over the next few weeks. There are more 10mm (WW1 & South American Pacific War) and some more 6mm; British Napoleonics – quite a fair bit of those and some late 19th C French & a few Austrians.
The first part of the new ACW flag range will be up next week with the CSA following soon after.
Here is a taster of some of the range.
New 10mm ECWs - Available now - Come and see all our ranges and show special offers at Vanquish on Sunday 22nd May.
Hi folks,
After what has been a dreadful few months for sales I have had to make a few decisions regarding the future of the business.
Since the New Year I have seen a constant decline in sales both here in the U.K. and overseas. There are obvious reasons for this of course, the sharp increase in the cost of living, the chaos left by Covid and the postage / export costs incurred by Brexit.
I prefer to be honest with all my customers, I’m not going to paint a picture of booming sales because frankly it’s just not true. I am struggling. That is the top and bottom of it.
Although my overheads are relatively small compared to others, the costs involved still have to be met. Studio rent, electricity, raw materials and packaging all cost money. When the cash flow that pays for these costs starts to dry up then you’ll appreciate that I have to do something to try and stay afloat.
I had plans for this year but unfortunately these plans will not come to fruition due to the costs involved. The planned 15mm range will now be shelved for now along with any expansion of the 20mm ranges. I will instead be concentrating on expanding the 10mm range which I already have a relatively healthy customer base for and also the continuation of the 3mm range.
I’ve been running Battlescale for six years now and I have no intentions of giving up after the huge amount of work that has so far gone into it.
Now is the time that I really need your help and continued support. Every order, large or small makes a massive difference to me.
Finally a massive thank you to my wife Kim who has been a huge support to me throughout. Without her the Battlescale ranges would not exist.
Regards to all,
Steve.
