Dear Reader, I don’t mind admitting that here in PP HQ 2015 has started

as 2014 finished, in a state of chaos! January is already no

more than a dim and distant memory and as February

charges by we have struggled to keep up. So far our new

year has been consumed with preparation for new shows

and dominated by the ongoing development of brand new kits.

It may only be February but we’ve already notched up a whirlwind visit to

London for the fabulous City Of London dolls house show and then before the

dust could settle, we were off to Doncaster to exhibit at the Festival of British

Railway Modelling for the very first time!

At the time of writing the PP office is knee deep in stock as we attempt to

pack for the wonderful (& very busy) Thame show this coming weekend.

But despite the long hours and chaotic scenes, we also have one eye on the

calendar as the Spring Miniatura looms large on the horizon. But before we

get swallowed up with our preparations for the NEC, I am

delighted to be able to find a quiet moment and introduce

our latest newsletter which is filled with further information

about all the new kits we have launched recently.

Happy mini-ing!

Tony, Bea & Mo Broadwood

THE BUZZ AT THE MINIATURE BEEHIVE!?

Here in the PP office I have been working hard to keep up with the (sometimes

overwhelming) demand for our new range of PP paints and from the feedback

messages I receive, it seems that you are all LOVING

the unique colours that we offer.

However, here in PP HQ we are not known for

resting on our laurels and as a result we are

currently developing new paint shades which will be

added to our extensive range. So… if there is a specific colour on your wish

list, do let me know and I will see if I can wave my magic paint mixing wand! [email protected]

want ??? Love Mo

OO Gauge

We are delighted to be able to finally launch our UNIQUE range of model

buildings which have been specifically modified for railway layouts.

Following overwhelming interest in our existing range of 1:48 kits from

railway enthusiasts, we have decided to offer an array of our existing

building designs, adapted to

suit popular railway scales.

(Pictures show a constructed & decorated kits)

Introducing Petite Properties' exclusive range of model building kits for railway layouts!

Initially we will be offering our unique building kits in OO Gauge

(1:76) and in the near future we plan to offer house kits in

N Gauge and O Gauge (1/43) too!

The main carcass of each kit is uniquely made from 2mm MDF, in

order to provide a strong structure that is able to take any exterior

finish required.

Our kits also includes pre cut external vernacular detailing, glazing

& doors and features apertures in the base for lighting, where

applicable.
