A Quick Note from Shire Works
First off, our apologies for not updating this blog regularly. You, our dear readers, deserve some clarification from us on this. As an extremely small company with limited funds, Shire Works does not maintain a regular website. Instead we are using the blog as a company website of sorts. Through the tab links you see above this post, you will be able to access the myriad of product lines that we are selling.
Also, we are actually blogging regularly but on another blog site i.e. https://foureyed-monster.blogspot.com It's updated frequently by our resident painter on either (a) projects making use of products you can find on sale here or (b) fully painted scale model kits/figurines that are also available for sale. If any of the projects you see on the art gallery tab (or any regular posts for that matter) at that blog site interest you, please drop us a line at our Gmail contact.
Well, that's it from us for now. Please take care and stay safe in this continuing pandemic.

Stay Home, Stay Safe & A Quick Word On Shire Works
Stay Home and Stay Safe
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shire Works hopes our dear readers are safely at home obeying the Movement Control Order (MCO) in place in Malaysia. By staying at home you will not only be helping yourself but you will also help to keep our brave frontline workers - such as the doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers in the hospitals as well as the police and army personnel trying to enforce the MCO - all safe from the spread of this virus.
A Quick Word on Shire Works
Shire Works's business model has changed somewhat over these past few years to emphasize the sale of fully painted miniatures and scale model kits as completed by our resident modeller FourEyedMonster at https://foureyed-monster.blogspot.com. Although unpainted miniatures and model kits that require assembly will still be sold at Shire Works, going forward we'll focus on assembling and painting them up before selling them.
In addition over the past few years, we've been and will continue to purchase off-the-shelf miniatures and scale model kit in order to: - assemble and build them up, paint them, weather them, and even sometimes place them in dioramas before putting them up for sale. The prices for such pieces will vary depending on the cost of the miniature and scale model kit, the cost of painting materials and the cost of man hours put in to paint them.
Thank you, dear reader, for taking the time to read this post.
Remember ... stay home, stay safe!

A tale of two blogs
Just a quick reminder about the existence of our resident painter's personal blog i.e. foureyed-monster.blogspot.com in which there are work-in-progress postings of both miniature figurines and scale model kits. Do note that some of these works will be for sale, and some not. Any fully painted miniature figurines and scale model kits for sale will be listed on shireworks.blogspot.com, which is the blog you are looking at right now.
Of these two blogs, it's inevitable that the one in foureyed-monster.blogspot.com will be updated more regularly. That being said we will definitely try to update this blog as regularly as we can with fully painted miniature figurines and scale model kits for sale.
Also if there are any fully painted stuff shown in foureyed-monster.blogspot.com that you are interested in buying but isn't listed here for sale - please do contact us at shireworks@gmail.com Our apologies in advance but any sale is solely for collectors in Malaysia only and preferably COD in the Klang Valley or Kuala Lumpur (due to the fragile nature of the fully painted/finished products). Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Spidey comes to the big screen again ... watch it, then paint your very own Spider-Man resin figurine
Be sure to catch the latest Spidey movie i.e. Spider-Man: Far From Home which is showing in cinemas throughout Malaysia at the moment. It's a Marvel movie you can't miss.
Also be sure to get your own 1/28 scale resin figurine kit from Knight Models paint it. Fortunately, Shire Works still has limited stock available for this Marvel Spider-Man kit. Now it should be noted Knight Models no longer holds the license to produce Marvel miniatures. The product shown here (see photos below) is no longer in production. Once sold out, it can no longer be restocked by us. So get it while you still can.
Below is a video of a fully-assembled and painted version as worked on by our resident painter FourEyedMonster who blogs about the miniature figurines and scale model kits that he paints at https://foureyed-monster.blogspot.com
Retailing for RM245 (excluding shipping), the Knight Models Marvel Spider-Man miniature figurine kit is available in Shire Works. Cash-on-Delivery is available for selected locations in the Klang Valley. Note that these are for sale in Malaysia only and if you're interested please do not hesitate to contact us.

Eagerly awaited Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame will soon be upon us
Scheduled for release in Malaysian theaters on 24 April - two days earlier than the US - this latest Marvel Studios release is going to be the finale for the Avengers movie series. Not counting crossover movies like Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy, then the Avengers series is essentially a quadrilogy. Let's hope Avengers: Endgame will do justice to the long running story line that has spanned nearly a decade on the bigscreen.

Available in the Shire Works online store, exclusively for Malaysian customers, is the old school Marvel Universe 1/28 scale metal figurines by Knight Models.

Passing of a legend
It's a sad day indeed for all Marvel fans as Stan Lee,
whose creations made him a real-life superhero to
comic book lovers everywhere, has died. He was 95. May he rest in peace. Excelsior!
