Space: The Final Frontier

This may be an early model (an illuminated model of the rocket ship 'Freedom' from a 1920s silent movie by Lang), but it's one we really loved making.

Rejoice: we're midway through a big restock on supplies, which means we'll be catching up on the bronze and iron goodies this week. Might even see some brass specials for those who like that golden allure ;)

Add to that the new Thin Lizzy wedge, a new all-metal range of Tiny Treasures (Rory and Lizzy on top, with some new players on the field too). And our Rory hommage is here - we're producing 5 and will launch when they're all complete.

As always, it's great to be busy with private commissions which make this work so enjoyable.

Have one of those 'live long and prosper' midweeks. Nanoo nanoo ;)

The Magnificent 8

Measuring a respectable 8 inches (20 cm) wide, this fine octet brings together all the classic Lizzy members (except Phil) in one striking display piece.

Small enough to fit neatly on a shelf or desk, yet guaranteed to draw admiring glances and knowing nods from fellow fans.

Crafted from solid resin, it'll be available on the webstore from this weekend.

Now pull on those cowboy boots and ride into the sunset like there's a posse hot on your heels! 🤠🎸

Have a campfire & beans weekend, if that's your thing ;)

Follow Me ~ Rory Gallagher
14 June 2026

We could list his accolades, his records, the live performances that have passed into legend. We could speak of his famous modesty, his down-to-earth nature, his mastery of multiple instruments, and his reputation as a true musician's musician - a man who never lost touch with where he came from. And where he'd been.

So that list is touched on.

Rory Gallagher left his Strat for the last time at 2a.m., 31 years ago... welcomed, no doubt, by that magnificent blues-rock fraternity of heroes and legends who inspired him.

Today, we raise a glass to Rory. There is a touch of blue in the celebration, but far more gratitude for all he left behind: the music, the memories, and the example of a good man whose songs could stir the soul and set the heart free.

Sláinte, Rory.

Time marches on.
For whom the bell tolls...

A little Metallica nod (via Hemingway) as the lads storm back into Dublin next weekend for a couple of gigs.

Not that we'll be anywhere near the excitement - we've proudly (jealously!) passed that banner to the next generation.

Instead, we'll be busy negotiating with mountain elves for their wares. Namely, our Iron and Bronze cold-cast collectibles.

We've had lots of requests for side-by-side comparison photos, so here's one. These have been steel-brushed (hence the abundance of metal flakes in the shot) and are now ready for a gentle weathering and patina before winging their way to Lizzy collectors.

Have a rocking Saturday night.

Because Nothing Else Matters.

Sneaky-Peeky Saturday

Rarity is not manufactured... It is created.

Limited to just four pieces, this year's most ambitious creation represents the very best of what we do in our Old Town studio.

Built by hand, requiring many, many hours of craftsmanship, and brought to life through an extraordinary display of light and technology, it is a collector's piece in every sense of the word.

For those who understand the legacy. For those who appreciate the details.
It's big and it's beautiful.

Simply add your preferred Thin Lizzy sounds.

(Notice: ownership may significantly increase visits from Lizzy supporters)

The Bronze Age
(... uimhir a dó)

As a week of rain, wind, and grey skies nears its end, a new age breaks over the horizon. Our cold-cast bronze pieces are marching into view at last.

As ever, horns raised and mead shared with the mountain elves whose craft and toil have brought these from hottest workshops to reality.

And here stands the V2 logo, revealed here for the first time, pressing down on our Lizzy Japan Tour art. Its differences from the V1 are subtle, but we know the sharp-eyed Thin Lizzy faithful will spot them at a glance and relish the choice.

No two are alike. Each bears its own mark: variations in metal, wire-brushed finish, and weathered patina ensure every piece carries a character all its own.

Bronze, thunder, and time leave their signature on every one.
Sláinte and Skål! 🍻

If you keep on walkin'
You'll walk right outta sight
And if you keep your eyes closed
You will not see the light

Just give me a chance to put it right

Wheels Within Wheels, laid out on a thick slab of Kilkenny Blue stone.

Masked, marked, and ready for the consaw to do the heavy lifting before our resident mason (and no, he doesn't work for free) whittles the pieces into a handful of magic.

This stone is deceptive. In shadow, it's mysterious, dark, and sultry; in bright sunlight, it comes alive with flashes of blue. You'll get to see both, as we won't be finishing these with a clear coat. They don't need one, and those natural tones are far too good to bury.

I've no idea how the guy on the left managed to park himself on a double (green) yellow line, but I'm sure he had his reasons. Now, If I Had A Reason...
.. enjoy ;)
