Another quick update as it slipped my mind earlier (old age I think!) the kids will be at Joy of Six this year, not trading as such, but selling our old painted models and some dioramas, which are all individually priced, sold as seen, and when they're gone they're gone.
If you require anything specific or have any quarrels or queries please don't hesitate to contact myself on the FacyBook or via email.

So... In a nutshell.. JoS, Floss & Lanky, dioramas/painted models, yeah, you get the gist of it.
Hopefully they will see you there!

Hey everyone, just want to give everyone an update, as some have already noticed the website is currently unavailable, and it is for good reason.

Due to health reasons we are taking a short hiatus while I undergo treatment, nothing to worry about, but without it I would fail my annual MOT, so temporarily we have halted trading.

This is not permanent and in the words of Arnie "I'll Be Back", just unsure as of when, hopefully August, until then Flossie is learning how to cast the models whilst still doing her packing Duties, Lanky is currently unavailable to assist due to his work as a coach driver and is unreliable because I cannot guarantee when he is here to help! Useless honestly! Only kidding, he helps me when he can, orders currently in will be completed asap and shipped, at least it will give the carrier pigeons a break to get their act together!

Any further information please feel free to private message us on here or via email, until then, we hope you all keep the 6mm faith.

Much love from the Leven Minis team.

What the hell's wrong with the Post Office in Sheffield?? Order posted to correct address in Sheffield in December - didn't arrive, second one posted to same address in January, ... still hasn't arrived to date ... Jesus I can post to Saudi Arabia and it arrives on time, no problem, but to Sheffield ?? no chance - This is probably because its not just an ordinary address, its a block of flats ... why the difficulty?
Methinks its time to kick the Post Office into touch for even local deliveries.

The Story of 'The Box' ...

About 3 years ago I was approached to supply some of my medieval and castle pieces to an online TV studio in Hollywood. I posted the image of the box before it was shipped, planning to expand on the story just after the show had aired.

As these were for an upcoming TV show and being in the planning stage I was asked to keep it secret, so I did ... I completely forgot about it until I started getting messages asking what the box was all about.

Basically they were for an online game show where comedians play Dungeons & Dragons. Usually, they play in larger scales, but in this instance they planned a surprise for the contestants in the finale, playing in 6mm.

The game shows can be found on YouTube under Dimension 20 and the LM minis appeared in season 5, episodes 10 & the finale episodes 16 & 17.

So there you go ... the story of 'the box' revealed .... at last.

Apologies to members who saw the unsavory posts on the page - they were not from me and if I find out the sc**at who posted them I'll send 1000v through their servers.

Looking through some old pics on this murky bank holiday Monday ... these are Ouistreham Casino (film set version) and Hartenstein Hotel, both painted by Tom Dye.

OMG ! Just found these old pics from what seems waaaay back - Originally was Vendome Manor from the Napoleonic era.

Another little 6mm commission finished recently. This one is Ferme Manoir la Fiere (or La Fiere Manor Farm, Cauquigny, France) and consists of 7 pieces (though only 6 are shown here) Manor House and outbuildings. The missing model is currently a bed & breakfast but did exist during the WW2 period. Is released but is not currently on the website - must get round to updating it soon!

Hadn't made any new models for ages, until recently ... now I seem to have a growing list of requests ... first one is this 6mm model of Cauquigny Church, Normandy - (shame my painting skills haven't improved)
