As I was ill last year at this time, I decided to take the whole of December off to recuperate and it did me the world of good. I came bouncing back in January, full of beans and ready to go again. I think I also said that it was so good that I would do the same this year and every year and I have not changed my mind.
However, as I am giving notice rather later this year, I will take the remainder of December off, after the 6th, which is a Tuesday. This is significant because if you recall, I informed you that I only have Post Office Services on Tuesday and Friday afternoons these days.
Effectively, this means get any last orders in by the week ending 4th, to have any chance of them being posted on Tuesday the 6th.
I shall open up again after the Xmas and New Year holidays and hopefully get some new figures on the go soon after.
Thanks again to all my regulars for your loyalty and support.
Happy Holidays,
Frank

Back to the Military
Well, loathe as I am to say it, the civilian project is dead in the water.
I have not sold many at all and haven't even come anywhere close to covering the cost of having these made, which has left me with no money to do anything else for the time being. This is the problem for a one man band I guess, in these troubled financial times.
So, when I get some more money together, it is going to be back to the military front and make some more soldiers. However, with xmas approaching fast and family to buy presents for etc, it might take a little while before I have anything new to show, as my finances must go towards these things first.
This is the first set of figures that haven't paid for their own production since the very early days and it appears that the vocal enthusiasm for them isn't matched by the desire to actually buy them. We live and learn though and now the planned range (which was going to be extensive) just isn't viable it seems.
I would like to thank, sincerely, those who did take the plunge and buy the civilians, but as I said,, the next thing will be military again, although I haven't decided what to do yet. I am not asking for suggestions like I have on previous occasions, as I will make the decision myself, in conjunction with Richard and see what we come up with. Hopefully, the New Year will see something new, that people will want :- )
Happy gaming,
