Metcalfe

Hey guys welcome to The Hobby Hive today I have got 3 products from Metcalfe Models LTD which is a company based in North Yorkshire and owned by Nick Metcalfe and his wife.

Nick Metcalfe a printer by trade, along with wife Judy began their cardboard cut-out venture in 1991 as a part time experiment from their home in North Yorkshire. The idea came when Nick spotted a model of an Irish pub in a gift shop he visited whilst on holiday in Ireland and suddenly spotted potential for a business. Armed with a fascination for architecture and graphics, and with his expertise in printing Nick was able to make the idea a reality.

The products I have today are an A4 Cutting mat, PN183 N-Scale small factory and a PO254 00/HO Scale Village Shop and Cafe.

The first product is their PN183 N-Scale small factory which like all their buildings are cut from card and have the layered side sheets and acetate window sheets all which require gluing and they are made to go along side the other buildings in the same range. this item is amazing quality item and the design is spot on  they look perfect and are easy to assemble.



The next item is  A4 cutting mat that is made from amazing quality material and will protect your surface from cuts and glue that you be doing to build your items. 
This item can be purchased from http://www.metcalfemodels.com/a4-cutting-mat

The final product i have is their  PO254 00/HO Scale Village Shop and Cafe kit which is cut from card and comes with printed cut paper with acetate windows. the item requires assembly with glue. This item works well with the other pieces in the range and the details on this kit is by far better than any other kits i have seen before.
This item can be purchased from http://www.metcalfemodels.com/village-shop-cafe



Overall my experience of building these 2 buildings has been entirely enjoyable and with the detail of each item they look fabulous. This product can be enjoyable for the whole family and when accompanied with a railway set it makes the evening entertaining.
