Not necessarily ship modeling but maybe of interest to modelers looking for scale figures.

 

Imrie Risley Miniatures is back in business.  For many years this company produced metal scale model figure kits; mostly military subjects and most 54mm (1:32 scale). They also offered some Naval and period civilian figures.  Like many hobby related companies the sole owner passed on and his widow sold off inventory while looking for a new owner.

 

Last night I stumbled on to a new website for the company announcing new ownership.  They are again accepting new orders.  The website is irminiatures.com

 

Disclaimer:  I have no interest, financial or otherwise in this company.  I don’t know the owner and have not placed an order with the new company yet.
