{"title":"Home page","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI have had a life long interest in history and miniatures, which I have been lucky enough to combine into a 32 year career making historical miniatures for museums, private collectors and the hobby industry. I have worked for several different toy and collectibles brands over the years, often as a subcontractor under my own brand name, Hudson \u0026amp; Allen Studio which was established in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLike many of the other people I have met in the hobby industry I did not arrive directly into the profession of making models, but I can’t think of anything else I would rather have done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the summer of 2025, I retired from the W. Britain Toy \u0026amp; Model Figure company to follow my wife Ericka to North Carolina for her new job back in the museum field. To avoid any confusion I also abandoned my old brand name Hudson \u0026amp; Allen Studio. I started posting information on my Facebook page: Kenneth Osen - The Gentleman Soldier when I settled here in North Carolina to stay connected to like minded people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt was abundantly clear that I still felt the need to create miniatures, so I decided to launch a website separate from my Facebook page. Not only could I offer items from my bench as they were available, but I could explain the philosophy of designing and building miniatures, with a healthy dose of history thrown in.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eI hope some of you will enjoy my ramblings and thoughts on history, modeling techniques and items offered for sale here on Ken Osen’s Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePlease feel free to send me e-mails with your questions, comments or requests. I will try to answer as I have time, but please be patient as I spend more time at the bench than in front of a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dark-green-bush-scenic-element","title":"Dark Green Bush Scenic Element","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese small oblong scenics are approximately 4” X 7” and represent an unmanaged hedge or medium height bushes in 1\/35th to 1\/30th scale.
