Product Review - One of the Greatest Selections of HO Figures That Few in the United States Have Heard Of
I chanced upon this figure manufacturer in a foreign publication. They seem to have hundreds of figures and details in HO scale only that just cannot be found anywhere else.
Here is how they describe themselves (from their web site):
The idea of Modelu was born whilst
attending a Missenden Abbey Railway
Modellers weekend in October 2014. At the time I was working on my
personal project Oswestry Works and had set out
to find the best, affordable 3D printed detail available. With the
germ of a idea forming, I left behind my 9-5 career in IT, moved back Mid Wales
and launched ‘Modelu‘ in January 2015
(Pronounced ‘Mo-Del-Ee‘
– Welsh for ‘Modelling’).
After 3 years in Wales working in a converted garage, attending exhibitions around the country and learning some hard lessons about running a small business, I was very humbled to win the 2017 Gwyn Humphreys Award for Innovation in the hobby at Warley. This was followed with a close second to Peco for Innovation of the Year in the 2017 British Model Railway Awards. In February 2018 I relocated the business to a new studio in central Shrewsbury where I can now host people for scanning sessions. If you would like to book in for a session, please get in touch.
As Modelu has evolved, the product range has grown and collaborations with other businesses have been formed. Though these developments have created some great opportunities and cutting-edge products, they have put time pressure on my personal ability to offer Design and Print services. As a result these services are now more often than not outsourced to competent designers or UK based print bureaus who understand or work in the hobby.
My guess is that since they tout their 3D modeling capabilities, they could produce any of the figures or details in any scale desired.
