little-cars Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Just to let everyone know that we have now closed Modellingtools.co.uk Mainly long covid for3 years . At the moment we are looking at some different sector of Hobby /Modelling Market. I'm hoping to get to some shows this year & will see some of you there. Many thanks for your support over the last 20 years. Paul 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Sad to hear of the suspension of your trading, Paul, but I do understand your reasons. The best of luck in your new business-ventures. Looking forward to seeing what they'll be. Cheers. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexBB Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Really sorry to hear this Paul, you have always been one of the better if not the best vendors at the shows with such a great variety of great tools that no one else ever seemed to stock, and your website was always well stocked and most importantly quite logical in actually finding stuff.. When I came back to modelling several years ago your guidance and advice at the shows was a really great help to me and likely saved me wasting a small fortune on things that would have likely sat in a drawer and never got used and gave me great advice in respect to airbrushes and the modifications and conversions I could do with the H&S Airbrushes which set me off in the right direction. I very much understand the impacts of Long Covid as I myself have been treated for this and still suffering, and now needing to use steroid inhalers and now a CPAP machine at night. Our local doctors have been a bit rubbish, though I should say that the 'Self Care Management Programme' I had to attend was actually quite beneficial even though the Long Covid clinic doctors keep trying to 'sign me off'! I hope things improve for you and your new business ventures become fruitful and wish you the best for the future. Gutted that the 'Best' Modelling tools store is no longer there 😞 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thanks for all the kind words. I am thinking about a smaller retail offering later in the year and if I can get to shows! Smallspace show Hanslope 16th July Hanslope will be the next event.... as it's one I'm part of. We are hoping to have the Whomobile to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Who with lots more displays. Hopefully we will also have John Leeson along as one of the Guests, more info in this link........ http://www.hamex.co.uk/smallspace/smallspace-gen/smallspace-gen.html Thanks, Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Ranger Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Oh, no! Where will we obtain our Little Lenses now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I’ve been looking but haven’t had any success, I’d like to get the clear lenses, as I’m running low on all sizes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Very sad to hear this - although I've been half expecting it for a while. You were always one of my favourite traders at model shows and will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Known Paul for many years both on the show circuit as a trader and at Milton Keynes Scale Model Club. Sad to see him retire from the business. Sometimes we all have to face the inevitable either both health and business wise Very knowledgeable about what he sold and will be missed trading at the shows. Hopefully we will see Paul attending a few shows where he can catch up with friends and past customers without being tied to his trade commitmdnt. Someone asked about where will they get their little lenses? Best contact Paul directly as he may be selling the whole business on with all its stock.

little-cars Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hi, At the moment we are working out what we are going to do, both the tools and home (an acre is a large garden!) to downsize to. Once we get our lives sorted out I'm hoping to restart the lenses, wires and some more of the range, probably via ebay. At the moment we are looking at all the options, Malvern is top of the list at the moment for moving, but we'll see how things go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 So sorry to see you having Long Covid Paul its bloody horrible, from experience. I hope we will find you can get back to the game somehow, as the others say you have been one of the better traders in the hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
