The Vintage Model Company
Wanted: how your things are made
If you make what you sell, we would like to show it. Send us a link to photographs or film of your workshop, your process, your hands at work, and we will put it on this page, credited to you, with a link back to wherever it lives.
We are not after marketing shots. A phone video of a lathe or a stitching bench tells a visitor more than a styled product photo ever will.
Anything you send stays yours. We host nothing ourselves without asking: we link to your own film and your own pictures, and we will take it down the day you want it down.
Trading as VMC LASER LTD, registered at Companies House number 13398549.
What we have checked
Every brand here has to clear one test before it is listed at all: the company is a UK legal entity with real activity here. That is a question about the business, and it is deliberately not the same question as where any individual product is made.
- uk registered entity: Companies House record resolves, status active. Number published by the company at https://www.vintagemodelcompany.com/contact-us. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk hq: Registered office is a UK address: The Cattle Sheds Holly House Farm, Buxton, SK17 9QT. This is the registered office, which is not necessarily where the company operates. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk control: No majority shareholding traced outside the UK (50%+ held within the UK across 2 holders). Source, checked 2026-09-01.
We have only checked company registration so far. Evidence of UK employment or a UK site is the next thing we intend to gather, and until we have it we say so on every product rather than implying it.
