Summer Holidays Are Here!

That’s right, the Summer Holidays are here. It’s that time of year again when the schools release the restless hordes upon the civilised world, and parents everywhere batten down the hatches and prepare to weather the storm. Fortunately, we have no such troubles in the Dragon Cave, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get a holiday too! We’re venturing out into the questionable British weather, and enjoying a bit of down time. Naturally, we won’t be carting the shop with us and so any orders placed between today and Sunday 6th August will not be processed until we return from our wanderings on Monday 7th August.

Until then, we’ve employed a rather rowdy (and fairly reliable…) tribe of Orcs to guard the treasure hoard, so don’t get any ideas!

 

Social Media – FACEBOOK AND TWITTER NOW LIVE!

I’m happy to announce that our Facebook page and Twitter feed are now live for the shop! If you’re into social media and want to keep up to date with everything going on, follow us!

We’ll be posting updates, advertising new products and generally sharing the goings-on of the Shop on a regular basis, so it’s the best way to keep up with everything. As always, if you want to get in touch please do so – you now have two more methods of contacting us! Facebook, Twitter and email are definitely the best ways to contact us with any comments, queries or problems (although hopefully there will not be any of those!)

If you have found the Shop useful in getting hold of those modelling items you need, then go ahead and share with anyone who may also be interested! And as always, if there are any products we don’t have that you need to get hold of – now you can send us a Tweet or Facebook message to request those bits and pieces!

You can find our Facebook page here or follow @NickSDHobbyShop on Twitter. Better yet, you can find us by clicking the relevant buttons at the bottom of the website!

Welcome to the Sleeping Dragon Hobby Shop!

We provide scenic modelling materials and hobby supplies to the wargaming community. Anything you might need to  paint miniatures, decorate bases and dioramas, construct terrain or even build whole gaming boards, we aim to supply.  Our range is growing all the time, so keep an eye out for new products. If there’s anything you’re trying to get hold of that we don’t currently have available, please get in touch – odds are, we can get it for you!

Our aim is to fill what we see as a gap in the wargaming market. While there are plenty of miniatures companies plying their wares, and more than enough companies selling laser-cut MDF kits nowadays, there are very few places that a wargamer can get hold of decent quality modelling and scenic supplies – that still seems to be the province of model railways enthusiasts. We want to change that by bringing those products to the wargaming market, giving wargamers a place to fulfill all their scenic modelling needs.

We will be attending various trade shows on the wargaming calendar so if you want to know if we’ll be attending a show near you, get in touch!
