| 3/16/26 | Irregular Miniatures | Episode 31: In this episode Ivan and David discuss the upcoming closure of a good portion of Irregular Miniatures and think about the miniatures they've loved along the way. "Hello to all our customers and fans. March 25th 2026 will be the 45th anniversary of my founding Irregular Miniatures. Although it has been a difficult decision I have decided to retire and close down the business on that date. Irregular miniatures 2 and 6mm will continue their excellent work producing those scales, (and maybe even 10mm in due course). Running the business with the help of my wonderful family and various friends has been great, but after the recent death of my mother, father and sister it’s just not the same, and I would like to pursue various other hobbies. We’d like to thank all our kind and generous customers for their support and enthusiasm. It has been a real pleasure doing business with you all." -Ian Kay | 1h 28m 55s | ||||||
