About Us…

Gunthwaite Miniatures was created to produce 1/72 scale military miniatures for collectors, diorama builders and modellers generally. 

The original intention was that we should attempt to fill a gap in the market by producing 1/72 scale figures of naval personnel to accompany Fleet Air Arm aircraft models.  More by accident than design, the emphasis of our first releases was British and Commonwealth sailors more generally.  However, the figures may also be used with 1/72 scale naval aircraft and also kits of Royal Navy and Commonwealth vessels in 1/72 scale such as those produced by Airfix and Revell.  The range will expand to cover airmen and soldiers and there is likely to be the occasional foray into other periods and into scales other than 1/72.

We are in a literal sense a cottage business.  Our main interest arises from modelling as opposed to producing, marketing or selling.  Consequently, we do not sell direct.  However, Gunthwaite Miniatures are available from Halifax Modellers World, White Ensign Models via mail order and in Australia, Float-a-Boat.  All contact details of stockists are here.  The nature of our business is that the production of figures is likely to be intermittent and therefore from time to time specific figures may be out of stock pending the production of new castings.  We apologise now for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause.
