We are now delighted to add another fantastic, full-colour automata kit from GoModelshop to our every expanding collection. The time it's the awesome "Dragon on the Cloud" kit. What's really great about this range of kits is that they are totally glue-less, so there's absolutely no need to make a mess when making them. Build it and then turn the handle to watch the automaton come to life. They make for a brilliant learning tool to teach kids about cams and linkages. Also check out the rest of our fabulous range of automata kits. Remember, postage is now just £1.50...

These seem to be taking around 4-6 days to ship, whereas 2nd class orders are taking around 10-20 days.  Rest assured that all stock levels are up to...

So, regardless of when an order is placed, be it on a Sunday or a Thursday, it will be sent out on the nearest Friday.  Rest assured that all stock levels are up to date and accurate, and we are attempting to restock "sold out" items as quickly as we can. Thank...

Our marble kits have been much more popular than we thought! Every day our team are making more kits and trying very hard to keep up with the demand. If you would like to purchase a kit before Christmas and the kit you want is showing as “sold out”, all we can say is please keep trying. We are a small team but we are working as fast as we can on this every day. As soon as a batch of kits is finished, we automatically update the stock on our website. We are trying our best, thank you for...
