bruce d Posted February 19 #1 Posted February 19 Is the firm NEVERLAND HOBBY a legitimate model manufacturer? They make injection moulded kits with PE and may produce other things as well but my question boils down to whether or not they are on the 'pirate list'. ?

Looks like they manufacture plastic kits. I found links to their products at Scalemates and Fine Scale Modeler.

Expand Chris the problem is as I pointed out at Drydock Models there are new manufacturer names popping up. If the NRG is serious about its stance it needs to one track manufacturers and identify the pirates and two keep the published list up to date. Canute 1 Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64

Expand You are talking about a shop near Bruges. I've been there in the past. It's a shop, as far as I know they don't produce anything and are therefore different from the manufacturer Bruce is enquiring about. bruce d and Canute 2 Roel Gallery Scratch built: 1/700 CLV Living Stone 1/700 ULCC Ti Europe 1/400 Split barge Bengel 1/100 tug Union Eagle 1/2000 Sea Installer - bottle 1/2000 CSD Spartacus Build logs: 1/2000 Sea Installer - FINISHED - Bottle 1/2000 Spartacus - FINISHED 1/1250 Scheldt River - Bottle 1/100 LPG Tanker Chaconia - Radio

Javelin Posted February 20 #8 Posted February 20 Seems indeed the shop in Bruges (not Brussels, very insulting for Bruges 😋), is called Hobby Neverland, while the manufacturer is Neverland Hobby....

Cklasse Posted April 2 #9 Posted April 2 I just bought a Neverland Hobby 1/700 HMS Victory. The package is nice and the plastics parts are very well moulded. Lots of 3D printed and PE parts. mtaylor, Canute and bruce d 3
Nirvana Posted April 2 #10 Posted April 2 I don't see any issues with Neverland Hobby, and yes sad the store in Brussels got their name taken.
