| Vallejo Model Color Paints It is with regret that we have to announce that we shall no longer be stocking this make of acrylic paints. We still have quite reasonable stocks which we are offering at a very special price so that we can clear these quickly. All of our current Model Color paints are listed on our web site and are available at £1.40 per pot. Given that Vallejo paints come in 17ml pots (Tamiya pots hold just 10ml and cost £1.55) this price is extremely favourable. Please note that, because paints are heavy against their cost, we cannot offer free postage on this special deal. Every individual order that contains any Vallejo Model Color paints will have £2.50 postage added. This makes it a great incentive to order as many as possible in one go! We have also listed the small quantity of Vallejo Game Color and Game Inks that we have - at the same £1.40 per pot. Go to SBX Models Web Site |
| One Click Purchasing! When we added One Click to our system, we found a drop off in people payng by Paypal. There seemed to have been a misunderstanding with people reading this as us not taking Paypal any more. You can, of course, still pay by Paypal - it is just that, for the moment, you can't use one click to do so. Secondly, please make very sure what is in your basket before you hit One Click. Remember, One Click will place an order for your current basket and the next thing you will see is an e-mail confirming. Go to SBX Models Web Site |
| International Postage We are very sorry but we have held off as long as we can in maintaining Free Delivery for overseas destinations. Due to recent postage rises, we can no longer do this. As from the 17th June, there will be a postage charge of £2.50 added to all sales to non-UK customers. This is still good value against our competitors. Orders over £75.00 will still be free. To make best use of our service and to reduce costs, we would recommend that when you do make an purchase, you place everything you want into a single order. That way you will only pay a single postage charge no matter what the value. |

Exciting news about paint!
We have found a change in buying patterns since we closed our shop and concentrated purely on Mail Order and Internet sales. No-one comes in the shop any more to buy paint! Now, there is a surprise - smile.
This means that we are over-stocked on paint so over the next few weeks we are making a good effort to reduce the amount we are holding. We have also seen a change in the makes of paint that we are selling.
In the shop we used to sell a lot of Vallejo and Lifecolor whilst we are finding that the Internet sales are concentrated on Xtracolor enamels, Xtracrylix and Tamiya acrylics. We did start to stock up on Testors Modelmaster enamels but found that these were not too popular. I am not sure why because the paint itself is first class and the range of authentic colours is wide and interesting. However, this does mean that we have decided not to stock the range and thus we have stock that we need to dispose off.
While stocks last, we have Modelmaster enamels available at just £1.00 per pot - reduced from £1.60. However, we are only offering those bottles we actually have. If we run out then we will not be restocking.
Get onto the web site quick and do a search under Manufacturers for Testors/Modelmaster and snap them up whilst you can.
Once we have cleared these out, we will be doing a similar exercise with the remaining Lifecolor and Vallejo stocks so keep coming back to the web site and the blog as often as you can. Better still, with the blog, add an RSS feed to your e-mail program and get told every time that we update the site.

Rumours of the Sea Vixen being unavailable are just that - rumours!
However, I think it may be a short-lived event - maybe a deal that fell through because I don't think that they have had any more deliveries from India. As a consequence, I would suggest that, if you don't have one now and still want one - BE QUICK. The price has already risen to £39.99.
The kit is getting ace reviews so it may end up as the 'kit of the year'
EBAY Bargains
We are still piling excess stock onto our EBay shop with a lot of it at half price. There are limited numbers of each item so if you don't go and look, you will miss a bargain.
Go to http://www.sbxebayshop.co.uk
That's all for now

One offer ends and another begins at 50% off!
We have stopped the offer on paints - mainly because we now have our paint stock where we wanted it to be, taking in to account the fact that people are no longer browsing the paints in the shop. Sorry if you missed out but we shipped hundreds of bottles in the time the offer was on.
50% OFF!
Yup - that's right - a genuine half price offer. There is always a catch in an offer like this - and the catch with this one is that it is only available on EBay! Sorry but it would be too much programming to change our web site to manage this.
Go to our EBay shop. There you will find a large number of items all available at 50% off - admittedly, you have to pay postage but... The list includes the following:
Vallejo Airbrush cleaner, Thinners, Pigments, Varnishes and Primers
MIG Pigments, Washes, Abtielung Oils, etc.
Super Glues and Accelerators - Vital and Roket
AK Interactive washes
Plus Model Lead Wire
Lion Roar Brass Wire
and so on.
Not everything is there at the moment but the list will grow over the coming days so keep a watch on it.
As we are clearing out existing stock, some items will disappear when they are sold out so we can only advise you to be quick!

Free Vallejo, Lifecolor and Xtracrylix paints
Extra Special Paint Offer - How it works
If you purchase 5 or more Vallejo, LifeColor or Xtracrylix paints, we will add in 5 more pots free. Buy your paints and then add a further 5 to the list. Your basket will show the total value of the order including the 5 free ones. Your confirmation e-mail will show the same total. When we process and ship your order we will adjust the credit card charge accordingly. If you paid by Paypal, we will refund the difference when we ship.You cannot mix and match manufacturers.
Unfortunately, due to the cost of shipping paint overseas, we have had to reduce the number of free pots to 3 when shipping outside of the UK so if you do not live in the UK, please ensure that you only add 3 pots to your order.
Your Savings
5 Vallejo paints are worth £9.25.3 Vallejo paints are worth £5.55.
5 Lifecolor paints are worth £11.25.
3 Lifecolor paints are worth £6.90.
5 Xtracrylix paints are worth £9.95.
3 Xtracrylix paints are worth £5.97.
Please note that we no longer have full stocks of Lifecolor paints - we only have those shades shown on our web site.
