![]() ![]() Reading some of their latest newsletters, back in October they stopped accepting Debit/CC payments, stating that their computer was "too old". We want to have space to produce new ranges – more WW1, Marlburian, more Ancients which are easier to de-mould than big vehicles – giving my elbow and wrist a chance to recover! The sale, if any ranges are sold, will include vehicles that we never released to retail – GSP Ferry, various bridgelayers, Titan, Trojan, Warrior AOP, MiG 27, MiG 31, Tornado IDS and ADV, Bo 105 to name a few. Some aircraft of which we had made models appearing as UFOs in newspapers a year or two later! The QE carrier and its' alternative were two massive models that we made on the 90s. This led QRF into Defence contracting and making models of future and concept vehicles, aircraft and ships. Occasionally we would make the master as we sat alongside the 1:1 vehicle. All of them were made either from plans provided by the manufacturer or from the real vehicles which generally we were permitted to sit on, or in and photograph. We are proud of what we achieved with the ranges, all the vehicles ( post 1970s ) were used as recognition models by Armies around the world ( British, Dutch, French, Norwegian, Australian, US, Pakistan, to name a few ) and were as accurate as Military Recognition Cells could get them. The larger the tactical level, the less realistic games became and ended up as wall-to-wall tanks, with infantry coming 19th on the list of priorities. The skirmish version of FEBA and East of Suez was the limit of my gaming. In fact, the size of it and the business it produces is the very reason that it has to go – to give my RSI a rest! What also influenced the decision was my own lack of interest in the ranges, despite being ex-Army, I have never been that interested in representing modern warfare on the tabletop. This has never been affected by the toy company and its' strange rendition of modern warfare. Not because it is not making a profit – it is! It turns over approx £60.00 GBPK p.a and has done since we started to downsize the business 3-4 years ago. The range will come out of production on the 31st January 2020. We have had a lot of calls regarding our plans for the QRF modern ranges, but no expressions of interest for buying them. I see this under the December 2020 news as an update .uk/news ![]()
