The Ship Model Forum

Hello,

After a short break due to Corona, I have a few things to announce.

First - PetrOs Modellbau will act as "3D Hobby" (www.3d-hobby.de) from now on. Brand PetrOs Modellbau is too hard to remember for many customers, and not as catchy B2B store would however stay at the old address, https://b2b.modellbaudienst.de
HMS Diana kit will still run until PetrOs Modellbau name, until the stock is exhausted, then it would move also.

Then - a few minutes ago, we took over the entire range of 1/350 and 1/700 PE and resin detail sets from North Star models (except the figures, which would be available under both names). That is several hundred sets. All these would be made available over the B2B store for business customers over the next few days. It will of course take a while until all of them are produced.

I of course invite all business customers to register at the store and already place their preorders - this way I would see which sets are to be produced first!

That is good news since Northstar has been very troublesome to get for a long time now.

Congratulations Petr! The increased ease of accessibility to the North Star items would surely be welcomed.

I do wonder, though, whether "3D Hobby" might be too generic a name to make it easily searchable? I can think of a case where one searches "3d hobby" in Google and having a whole bunch of results unrelated to your shop.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Thanks!
I think rather it is on the lack of marketing on my side yet, not many items are yet published.

Sure, we are recalculating prices now, and I hope to get the stuff in my store this week

This is excellent news. There are several Northstar aftermarket sets I've been trying to get. I'm looking forward to increased availability!
