EU, Northern Ireland and Norway issues. CAD drawings for sale. November 18, 2024 08:46

From December 13th 2024 The EU have imposed new General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR).  Whilst I am able to comply with the great majority of the new legislation, there is one sticking point. I do not have an appointed EU Responsible Person (RP) or economic operator BASED in the EU. 

My understanding is that to appoint a representative, it would not be viable for the business. From 1st December, I will be deleting shipping rates for the EU, Northern Ireland and Norway. 

I intend to continue sales: but not the the countries listed in the headline. 

Fearing the long-term post-Brexit worse; I am offering up the business for sale to an EU based manufacturer. 

My proposal is to sell: 

A copy of the hard drive with all the CAD drawings on, in a format to be agreed upon. 

Resin 1st generation casts (from which you may take moulds) for the Pantile Collection, Zeltbahn, Rubble Piles etc (full inventory on request).

STL files for the 3d printed Pantile Roofs with permission to replicate. 

Permission to copy and publish the Charlie Foxtrot Models website images, instructions and tutorials. 

Full IP rights to manufacture and sell the products.

This offer is only available to buyers who are based in the EU.

Potential purchasers, please contact me at:  charliefoxtrotmodels@hotmail.com to discuss further.

New Releases: 28mm 1/56 "Pantile Ruin C" & "Pantile Ruined Workshop" June 10, 2024 08:24

Two new releases today to the 28mm 1/56 Pantile Collection. Additions to the ruins using newly designed and 3D printed roof "chips" made by Paul at Sabotag3d. 

Both kits have thick 6mm walls, 3d printed roofs and resin exposed brickwork pieces.

I believe these may complete the Pantile Collection and short-term  future work will be directed towards the SE Asia collection.

New Release: Rivers Extra Large May 22, 2024 21:20

Many people have passes positive comment on my "Rivers" and "Streams" on this website. For a personal project, I wanted a much wider one so produced the RXL collection: 5 pieces of XL river ( 50mm banks with 277mm between) and an "Ends only" frame. Like the other releases, the River XL sections are designed to house diameter 5mm magnets (not supplied). 

Holiday Notice May 7, 2024 18:21

We will be away from 11th - 22nd May, returning to the workshop on 23rd. 

My time is to be spent with family as part of my extended 60th birthday celebrations. It is unfortunate that I have to take time off so soon after taking 9 weeks off sick however I am sure it will do me a power of good. 

Apologies if my delay in getting orders out causes any inconvenience. 

Further Extension to Temporary Closure : New Opening date 22nd April April 15, 2024 21:50

Apologies, I still cannot walk or drive. I did however have a review with the surgeon today (15th April) who advised me that I should be able to drive in a week -10 days and have full mobility and discard the crutches in a month. 

I am now aiming to reopen the website checkout on 22nd April. 

In the mean time I am designing new kits (4 at the time of writing this) which, once prototyped will be released shortly. 

Thank you for your continued patience. 

Colin

Extension to Temporary Checkout Closure: Target Reopening Date, 16th April. March 26, 2024 07:47

5 weeks into recovery after my foot surgery, I am making slow progress. I had 4 weeks in bed, one week with a zimmerframe and am now wobbling on crutches. 

My 6 week x-ray and review with the surgeon has been put back until 15th April and I have been advised not to fully load bear on my foot or drive until my review. Proposed new reopening date is 16th April. I am sorry if this causes any inconvenience. 

Not all doom and gloom, as I have drawn some new model kits which I cannot wait to prototype / assemble and paint before release. I am also very close to completing my Sharp Practice Confederate army.
