In the late 1980's, following a series of chance happenings, Roger Andrews
made the decision to turn his lifelong passion for art and model making
into an income generating way of life. By 1991 Andrews Studios had established
itself as a sculptural service to private clients, local companies and
figurine makers throughout the UK.
Andrews Studios continued to acquire commissions from a wide range of sources and was becoming renowned for detailed figurative work particularly in the field of military sculpture. In 1992 Roger acquired a world wide licence to create figurine characters from the "Legend of Lone Wolf" series of novels written by Joe Dever and John Grant.
However, fate stepped in once more when a friend asked Roger to model the local Town Hall in Llantwit Major. Within 24 hours of completing the model, word got around and Roger became inundated with orders, not only for the Town Hall model but for other local landmarks including the famous Llantwit Major Church
Within a few months, Landmarks was formed and became the marketing and sales organisation to promote the many figurines and architectural miniatures which Roger Andrews had by then produced.

Landmarks was the creation of Andrea and Roger Andrews and their
fascination and enthusiasm for the history and architecture that form
an everyday part of our lives.
Today,
Landmarks, is well established as the source for high quality figurine
and artwork and is the main wholesale and mail order outlet for the
creative and manufacturing output of Andrews Studios.
