Can't help but find 1/6th scale really amusing. It looks huge compared to 1/12th yet it's still really cute! 🙈

asked if I could make a set of 1/6th scale weights for her lovely mini gym, and, of course I couldn't say no 🤭 I have to admit, despite it just being a scaled up version of the design I already have, it took a lot longer than I planned.
As we don't have metal casting moulds for a larger size weight, I obviously had to weight it differently 😏.
So, I made the weights hollow and filled them with very fine metal pellets. 🤗

Having made this model, I've now realised that with 1/6th scale, not only is there being twice as much surface area to finish (obviously), but, being larger means you can see all the little imperfections far more than you can on 1/12th.

Basically, despite my optimism, twice as big does mean twice as much work, even if the design is already done 🙈
But, to see the result standing next to the 1/12th version made it totally worth it! 😂

Free mystery bag of minis with every £20 spent at Shepherd Miniatures! 🛍️
Just leave a note saying “freebie” at checkout to grab yours 🤗

I decided it was about time I thinned out some of the bits and pieces I’ve accumulated over the years… drawers full of “I’ll come back to that later”, “ooh let’s make these”, and “too good to throw away, but not quite good enough to sell” 🤔 (I promise I’m not a hoarder 🤭).

So, for a limited time, for every £20 spent on our website, you’ll receive a mystery bag of minis.
And yes — multiples of £20 = multiple bags 😁

The contents could be anything… first-off prototypes, slightly imperfect pieces, or ideas that never quite made it into full production.

Pop your order in while they last 🤗

I have a question for you all. ❓
I know, I'm a tad late for the Bafta awards this year, but, having made all these guys I obviously couldn't resist spending far too much time lining them up to take a photo 😬📸
But, now that I've made a load of stock, I've had an idea that I'd like to pass by you wonderful people!

How would you like it if they were made in METAL! 🤘🏼
Now that we are the proud new owners of , I'm thinking that it would be particularly cool to cast these in metal and then, and this would be very VERY cool, gold plate them!!! 💛
Obviously they would be a bit more expensive, but, I think the added weight and quality would be well worth it.

I have also have some other awards (Oscar, Grammy and World Cup🏆) that I think would make a fantastic collection.

So, what do you think? 🤗

I'll be honest, I could quite easily eat all of these things (well, the full sized version that is 😆).
But, if I had to choose one, I'd probably have to go for the Creme Egg.
Super naughty, but just the one normally is enough! 😋

What's your favourite?
Showing off a few of our new *'calorie free' chocolate bits for Easter!

*eating probably not advisable 🙈

That's right, I've finally found time to add some long awaited items to the website!

These bits are definitely one of the best things I've created...that's not meant to be a brag, I just love how they came out and that they are actually HEAVY! 💪🏼

Don't know about you guys, but I am definitely a tactile person. So to have something that looks correct is one thing, but for it to feel right really makes all the difference for me.

Just to give you an idea, the barbell set weighs a whopping 80 grams! I know, doesn't sound like much, but believe me, for something so small, it's heavy! 🏋🏼‍♀️

Pictures like this make me really happy.
Having days of work all neatly arranged next to the full sized item, with the beautiful morning sun shining through the window. 🥰

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Hope you all have a fabulous day. 🤗

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mum's, Nanny's and Mother figures....you're all amazing!
Hope you all get some well deserved time today to sit back and relax.
I'm going to sit on the deck and enjoy a nice cup of tea in the sunshine (probably with a blanket...it's a bit nippy out there 🙈) 🌞🌞🌞

What's your favourite?
When ever I make something new I always go the brand new 'off the shelf' look. So, it's nice to treat myself occasionally and get creative!
Really had fun painting these...adding the rust, oil, scraping away the decals and giving it character.

Which one do you like best?
Do you think I should sell the 'dirty' versions as well as 'clean'? Or just one type?
Would really appreciate any opinions. 🤗

A little something I made over Christmas for my wonderful neighbour Faiza.
She kindly invited me to join the lovely little knitting group she goes to every week and I'm really enjoying it.

Although I really enjoy my job as a miniature model maker (most of the time 🤭), it's been lovely to be part of a group and have some people to talk to, and to do something a little different for a change.

I must admit, I did have to start again about 3 times when I did the knitted bit in the basket, but they were 1mm needles and it's been a very long time since I've done any knitting, so I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out.

At knitting club I've decided to jump right into the deep end and knit a frog 🙈🐸. I'm steadily getting to grips with all the terminology and techniques, but my goodness, the wool is quite fluffy and one heck of a challenge 😬. But, I'll get there.... eventually! 🤞

Knitting basket:
3D printed basket and knitting needles.
Acid etched stainless steel ruler.
Knitting from 1ply acrylic yarn.
Knitting book and sewing pattern.
Scissors and sheep cast in pewter. (currently using pewter recycled from old cups that belonged to my husband grandfather ♥️)

Got these fabulous boots for Christmas from my wonderful hubby ( ).
Can't wait to get a mould made for thick soul Dr Martens!

08/01/2026

Well it's a 'bit' better...at least I have somewhere to put a cup of tea now (which, let's face it, is the most important thing! 😏☕)

Suppose I've got no excuse not to get on with things now 🙈.

Happy Thursday everyone!

I think it might be time to tidy my desk 🙈
