Test Valley Models

Yet another 5* review on Google for the shop, which makes it all worthwhile, knowing that for some you are doing something right ! So if you are passing by drop in for a chat, or try out the website, we are bound to have something you want !

There has never been a better time for modellers, the advances in paint technology and the application of them along with the variety of washes, filters and pigments means you can now bring even more reality to diorama's and figures. With this is mind, Test Valley Models has over its time increased its range of paints and other accessories to assist you the modeller, as the shop strives to be the go-to model shop in Hampshire, both through the door and online. So it's great to announce that we will shortly be adding the FULL AmmoMIG range of Acrylic Filters and washes to our stock. This range complements the AmmoMIG paint range and accessories that we already stock. Naturally this range will be made available through our online store @ https://testvalleymodels.com

Thanks for popping in to see us, so glad you enjoyed your visit. Don't forget you can take advantage of our great prices online, and postage is free on orders over £25 !

I've just done a blog post for my online store, with advice on how to make things easier to see, it's aimed at figure and miniature painters, but may be of use to all modellers. I've copied it here, some may find it useful.

The shop has now added AmmoMIG acrylics to its range. There are 180 colours in the range with a large number of RAL and RLM colours included. AmmoMIG acrylics are great for hairy sticks or airbrushes, (you may need to thin them a bit), each dropper bottle contains 17ml of paint, which seems to be an industry standard, each bottle has its own mixing ball, which means better agitation of the contents when shaking. Price is £2.49 per bottle https://testvalleymodels.com/collections/ammo-acrylics

I haven't checked on the retail price, when I placed my order with The Hobby Co some time ago the best guess then was around £120

Tamiya are releasing an F-4B Phantom II around the same time* *Subject to container availability and ships navigating the Suez canal without mishap

The worst kept secret is out, pre-orders are available for this model from 1st May. RRP is being touted as arounf £30 cheaper than the Tamiya version due to land around the same time.
