Busted Bricks is owned and run by me, Michael Henriksen and my wife Halley. The Busted Bricks name is derived from my middle names which are Brix Husted. The credit for doing that goes to a gentleman named Colin Binnie who is sadly no longer amongst us. I'm from Denmark and Halley is from the Faroe Islands but we have lived in the UK since 2005. I have a life long interest in all sorts of model related hobbies. I've built cars, boats, planes, steam engines, rolling stock and electronic kits. I've designed my own models and even had a few R/C plane designs published. Before you ask, I don't have a background in engineering. For the last 12 years I have worked on the IT side of the telecommunications industry. However I have always been at my happiest with tools in my hands. Halley is very tolerant of my hobbies - when she visited my apartment for the first time there was a large R/C plane hanging from the ceiling, a motorcycle in bits in the kitchen and a smell of burnt castor oil in the air. I'm surprised she stayed but 20 years later she is still here and I love her for that. We have a lovely daughter, Mille, who is attending secondary school and supplies dad with tea when he is busy with the shop. The aim of Busted Bricks is to make a broad range of products available to fellow modellers, be it parts, kits,materials or ready to use models and equipment. There will be state of the art electronics as well as old fashioned materials such as tinplate amongst our offerings. We don't sell on Amzon or Ebay for a number of reasons. First of all their fees are high and we would have to pass that on to the customer making our products more expensive. Secondly, you may have noticed that these companies try their hardest to avoid paying tax in the countries they operate in, thus not contributing actively to society. I spend a lot of time in the workshop manufacturing and developing products. Halley has a day job. For that reason will not always be able to offer next day shipment on orders. However we will make at least two trips to the post office every week. Nor will we be able to pick up the phone a lot of the time. Email is the preferred method of contacting us and you will receive a reply. I warmly welcome you to our little corner of the Internet and hope you will find something of interest. Kind regards, Michael We are a VAT registered UK business. Our VAT number is: GB 138 6204 16 |
