Individuals and companies listed here do not constitute an exhaustive list of all those available, simply those who we find are generally sympathetic to the high realism approach, or whose products are sometimes adaptable to our approach. We are receptive to recommendations from readers, but ask manufacturers not to canvass for inclusion, as we wish to avoid commercial bias and to remain user-led.

We offer no guarantee regarding the scale or other accuracy of any or all commerical  products provided by such organisations. Usual disclaimers.
