Anyone know whether Pithead Miniatures is still in business?
Their web site pithead-miniatures.tk doesn't appear to be active any longer.

He replied to a question I had not long ago about his out-of-production ACW stuff. I know he still sells WWII 10mm but I no longer have the URL. Did you "Google" Pithead Miniatures?

I think they are still going -- had an email from them a couple of weeks ago. Which did mention holidays. Looks like the domain name expired, and people are not around to sort things -- a bit of a problem for 1 man companies.

I saw that hey launched a new website recently and then they are on holidays. So perhaps a combination of the two?

Thanks for the replies. I am getting into 10 mm WWII and wanted another source that made figs from countries that Pendraken don't make, such as French and Poles for early war units.

Randy use Pendraken WWI French infantry for the WWII stuff.

Thanks Monkey Hanger. I hadn't thought about that.

Pithead-Miniatures is at the moment suffering from a server that has crashed. There is a temporary site at the old address, with the most important information. They are on holiday at the moment though. From the site:

"Pithead will be closed from 1/8/09 until 20/8/09 and will not be able to process any orders during this time."

Cheers Carl

"The demise of Pithead has been greatly exaggerated". As Carl said, the site had a glitch while we were both away on holiday but is now back up and running with a dozen new additions added to the range every month.
