Post by: Davros on 03 December 2016, 11:31:22 PM: I am wondering what is the status of Scheltrum Miniatures, are they planning to come back online?

Has anyone seen them at shows since reports in May?

Edit: 'Reports of' them being at shows... :D
Davros' last query, in May, found a reply that suggested that Scheltrum is 'still in business, was at Border Reiver, Salute and Carronade and will be at Claymore in August and probably at Skelp later in the year. '

... and will be at Claymore in August

I can confirm they were at Claymore last Saturday and seemed alive and well, with plenty of miniatures on display and plenty more for sale.

Their biggest problem seems to be solely their lack of functioning website, which the owner said to me was due to his own lack of technical know-how, though there's a possibility that his son might be able to sort it, he told me. But don't hold your breath.

Really, the only way to be able to deal with them now is if you're fortunate enough to attend an event they're trading at, or if you have one of their paper catalogues which can be picked up from their stall at the event (as I did at Claymore).

They can be contacted at +44 (0)1224 574425; that's their office number in Aberdeen, Scotland and is printed on their catalogue. They also happen to be part of an architect business called GPA Humphries, who answer the same phone, so you have to make it clear you want to deal with Scheltrum when you call.

Alternatively, you can use their email: sholto@gpa-humphries.co.uk or possibly scheltrum@gpa-humphries.co.uk (both are listed on their catalogue).

I hope this is useful.

Now to see if I can track down someone in the UK who owes me a favor, and is willing to brave Royal Mail :o and mail me a copy of the catalog.

;)

You can still have a look at their site via the internet archive:

I wonder if he should just set up an Ebay shop.
