Hi, my name's Sebastian. I'm with Quest Keepers. Come check out my store.
00:08
Lead the way, sir.
00:21
Cool.
00:25
Aha, the world of gaming.
00:27
Yes, indeed.
00:28
So how long have you been in then, Sebastian?
00:30
In the store. This is our first day, so we're opening up.
00:34
Awesome. So fill us in for someone who doesn't know what Quest Keepers is, because you know a lot of people won't.
00:39
What are you all about then?
00:41
So our main products at the moment are Warhammer, which is a miniature tabletop wargame.
00:46
So you buy the models, build them up, paint them and have some wargames with them.
00:52
On top of that, we've also got a whole bunch of accessories here.
00:55
So we've got all these fancy dice, dice cups, all these little bits to base your miniatures on.
01:02
And then a few other little bits and bobs as well.
01:05
So what's your painting skills? Have you painted any up yourself?
01:08
Yeah, so this is one of mine.
01:09
I did wonder, yes, as I glanced around.
01:12
And we've got a few little bits and bobs over here that I've put together and painted as well.
01:17
So what came first for you? The interest of the painting and the crafting side or the gaming side?
01:22
Definitely the painting, the crafting and the building of the models.
01:25
Because that's where you have to start.
01:27
And then, yeah, it started in Covid when we were all locked up inside.
01:31
Picked up my first box and fell in love with it.
01:34
And now I've got a shop.
01:36
Yeah, as you do.
01:37
So where were you from yourself then?
01:39
So I stayed just outside of town.
01:42
Originally, though, from South Africa.
01:44
Me and my wife moved over.
01:46
I was going to say, yeah, I was getting the accent there.
01:48
Yeah, yeah. So from South Africa to Newport.
01:50
From South Africa to Newport, yeah.
01:52
So my family are traditionally from the UK.
01:55
So we moved over and started here.
01:57
So where were your family from in the UK originally?
02:00
Hull.
02:01
Oh, okay.
02:02
Yeah, yeah.
02:03
So a bit of a northern twang knocking about in the family down the line.
02:07
And what are you making of Newport and Shropshire compared to South Africa then?
02:12
Colder.
02:13
Yeah.
02:14
But very, very beautiful.
02:16
Nice and green.
02:17
We love taking the dogs out into the hills for walks and that.
02:20
So we fell in love with the Midlands in general.
02:23
So yeah, we're enjoying it.
02:24
Great stuff.
02:25
So in terms of the gaming, we'll swing you around.
02:28
Go on, come up to that corner for us.
02:30
Warhammer's massive, isn't it really now?
02:34
It is.
02:35
And all made in the UK.
02:37
Is it?
02:38
Didn't realise that.
02:39
They've got a massive factory up in Nottingham.
02:41
Oh, wow.
02:42
So all this is in plastic moulding done by them.
02:45
Yeah.
02:46
Boxed up there and shipped all over the world.
02:48
I was going to say, because I knew it was big here, so it's popular all over then.
02:52
Yeah, yeah.
02:53
Very, very big.
02:54
That's a nice export we've got there then.
02:56
Definitely.
02:57
So opening times, when can people catch you at the shop here?
03:00
So to start with, we're open on a Saturday from 1 o'clock until 5pm.
03:04
Great stuff.
03:05
And we'll be looking to expand those alleys with all the support we've been getting.
03:08
Cool.
03:09
Well, good luck in business, Sebastian.
03:10
Game on.
03:11
Thank you very much.
