Gamers and hobbyists, my name is Robert Rumfelt and I’m the owner and founder of Novus Design Studio. I have a passion for miniature terrain and accessories for tabletop gaming and wargaming so therefore I love being a part of the super-creative gaming community. My interest in the hobby started early as I grew up in a household where I was heavily influenced by my father’s love of model railroad trains, scale architecture models, diecast vehicles and wargaming miniatures. My brother and I would build these big, elaborate layouts with the most intricate detail and then spend hours and hours playing with our creation! Tabletop miniatures and wargaming accessories continued to interest me as an adult so I began researching the industry and the viability of starting my own business making miniature terrain. In May of 1986, I decided to launch JR Miniatures which grew into a full-time business. My wife and I operated the company successfully for 12 years and then sold the business in 2012.
After a short hiatus, I came back to my passion for miniatures and terrain and in 2014 launched our new business. Novus Design Studio is where I apply my trade as a model designer with extensive knowledge about production, tooling, and manufacturing using a variety of materials. Novus is my creative outlet for innovation and customer-driven value. The customer is always top of mind when I’m creating a new design, adding value or filling orders. Thank you for visiting our website and we look forward to continuing to serve the gaming/hobby community with tabletop and wargaming miniature terrain and accessories!
