Many of the Uk crowd will recall the Odds and Ordnance range of resin ordnace and update sets created and sold by our own Cambel Patterson.
Well after a number of years as part of the Allycat range, it is now under new ownership. Namely Me!
The move has taken around 2 years to arrange with the first load of masters and moulds handed over to me at last years Scale Model World.

The bulk of the masters of Cambels orginal range has now been handed over with others to follow as and when Alec who owns Allycat unearths them. Mr organisation he isnt! There are also a couple of items that have never seen the light of day before.
At some point some of the bits and bobs I traded years ago as Renegade resins may join the OAO range if demand is there. I also have permission to sell the Fairey battle nose correction that was part of the Valiant wings range as I did the casting for those.

For the foreseeable future the range will still be sold through the models for sale web site Click here as per the Allycat range. This saves me the faff of sorting out a web site and all that entails.
Small amounts will appear as and when ive cast them up. This is purely a side hustle, not a full time job. The first small batch of items are already up on the Models for sale website, still listed under allycat untill the relaunched OAO name is a little more out there as it were.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well done Martin!  :thumbsup:

The fragility of the network of small one-man-band companies that support us has bothered me for years, so it's good to see someone who cares stepping up to keep things going.
