A quick heads-up..... our website is temporarily down with a technical glitch. Our domain registrar made a change which they told us would all be fine and didn't need us to do anything......

We think we've fixed it but we'll only know once the change has had time to propagate it's way through the internet. Fingers crossed !

We've lost a man who bought so much to modelling. He was one of the leaders in raising the quality of products from children's toys to quality reproductions that made it a hobby for people of all ages.

Thank you for living a life with purpose, and rest in peace, Sir. 🥲

We at AMMO are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Shunsaku Tamiya-san, CEO and Chairman of Tamiya.⁠
⁠
We honor his tremendous contributions to the scale modeling community worldwide, which have brought joy and inspiration to countless hobbyists. ⁠
⁠
We extend our sincerest condolences to the Tamiya family and the entire Tamiya team.⁠
⁠
From all of us in the AMMO community, thank you, Shunsaku Tamiya-san, for the lasting impact you’ve made on this wonderful hobby. Your legacy will live on in every model inspired by your passion.

Due to the extreme hot weather, I am declaring today "National Go To Work In Your Underpants Day".

It's summery weather, so time for our Summer Clearance Sale !

Look for the yellow sticker on product images, hundreds of bargains to be found including Vallejo Panzer Aces, Mig Figure Paints, Chessex Dice and many more. It's a mix of product lines being discontinued (in some cases replaced with newer equivalents), ones where the supplier is no longer around, and some that are just plain slow sellers at the standard price.

All very much "when they are gone, they're gone !"

With any luck, it'll make us enough warehouse space for more new exciting goodies 😁

It's time for another Flash Sale Friday ! You can get 25% off all dice on our site until the end of Monday.

But also now tax year end has happened, we've identified which of our products sell well and which are slow sellers. So we're putting sale prices on the slower sellers to either revive them or get them cleared. But they're scattered around the site, so you'll have to hunt for them !

It's Friday, and that can mean only one thing (well, two if you count "it's nearly the weekend, yippee !"). Yes, it's Flash Sale Friday 😁

This week's Flash Sale is Chessex Dice - lots of dice in awesome colour schemes, all at 20% off.

Last week's experiment was definitely a success (thank you everyone !) so I thought I'd do another flash sale over Easter.

I've actually started it a day early, just to increase the amount of time off I can spend trying to get the bike fixed over the long weekend 😁

This Flash Sale is 15% off Mig acrylic paints, figure paints and acrylic sets. I think Mig are gradually phasing them out and replacing them with ATOM and IONIC paints, so if yo uneed any for a part-completed project, it's worth getting them while they're still available !

Thought I'd do an experiment for you all ! Flash Sale Fridays - we'll do it for a few weeks, with a different range each time. They'll run through until the Monday, and the discount is off our normal prices (which we think are already thoroughly competitive !)

I'd love to hear feedback on whether this is a good idea, or any suggestions for how it could work better 🙂

We've just added Mig IONIC paint sets to the website for you. They're in a new product category - https://www.snmstuff.co.uk/ionic-paint-sets

Initially we only ordered a couple of each set, we never dreamed that the IONIC paints would be as popular as they have turned out to be ! But we'll be getting more with our next order to Mig.

IONIC Paints are an acrylic very much aimed at figure painters, so if you're currently a fan of Citadel Paints of Vallejo Game Color, it's worth giving them a try. They have great smooth coverage and dense pigmentation; apparently the can be airbrushed as well, although I haven't tried this personally yet !

Now I've finished (I hope !) the most urgent tweaks to the new website, I've started piling through the backlog of new products I'd been building up.

It's a mix of new releases, some that were new over the last month or so while I was working on thew site, and one or two that have been lurking in dark corners and I've finally got around to pulling together the data and images.

The most freshly uploaded are on our New Releases page, but you can find all of them scattered around the site with the "New" flash in the corner (which lasts for 4 weeks after I create a product).

In other news, we've had a big restock of Mig IONIC paints - they've been far more popular than I expected !
