About Us

Thank you for visiting this site, I’m Darwin, the sole proprietor of this venture. I used to consult in copyright and IP protection in the Far East for MPAA and luxury brands, before pivoting to Fintech for service planning and crime prevention as a project manager.

This site was launched in 2020 during the height of the pandemic when I was between contracts. I thought it would be interesting to simultaneously learn how to 3D model, design/maintain a website, 3D print, navigate trademark and design rights law, and establish compliant marketing campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. It was a lot, but it ensured fixed operating costs remained below £5 a month for what was essentially a hobby, while gaining valuable skills.

Little did I know that it would grow to this size and scale, but more than that, I was touched by the immense community support. I’ve always loved ships, be they sailing or spacecraft, and I was incredibly glad to find most of you enjoyed my re-interpretation of BFG. This is an exercise to push my ability to design, manufacture, market and build a premium brand centred around quality products.

Day-to-day operations are managed by my wife while I work at my main job. Negotiations are underway to decentralize production around the world to save shipping costs thanks to Just-in-Time manufacturing that 3D printing affords.
