Sloppy Jalopy buy
Chieftain Models
Sloppy Jalopy are very proud to announce that they
have bought the superb range of 1/56th modern vehicles produced by Ian Crouch
of Chieftain Models.
As well as being the founder and owner of Chieftain, Ian has also been the main
designer of the Sloppy Jalopy modern range so obviously there will be complete
compatibility between the two ranges.
Ian had recently sold Chieftain, but new owner Duncan Hamilton does not feel
that he is able to dedicate the time necessary to making the business a success
and has very kindly allowed us to buy the company.
We are currently in the process of sorting out moulds and masters and hope to
start the re-release of the Chieftain vehicles in a few weeks. We do not intend
to make any changes to the vehicles so if you have bought from Chieftain in the
past you can be assured of the continued quality of the models.
We also intend to add to the combined moderns range and welcome further
suggestions for new vehicles.
We would like to thank both Ian and Duncan for all the hard work they have put
into Chieftain and wish them the very best with their next projects.
We will have further announcements of new and re-released vehicles over the
next few weeks.
Richard and Laurence.
