Last night I tried to access Old Crow Models' site to possibly place an order for some 25mm vehicles, and was given an Error 404- site doesn't exist or down.
Is anyone else having this problem? |

I've just tried it and got the same. |

Covered here: TMP link basically it sounds like they're having trouble migrating to a new setup, but are still open for business via phone or email. |

As per the previous post. I've heard nothing more since but I know it's not critical just technical, if you see what I mean John T |

I hope they get it up soon, next week I wanted to start my 6mm naval build-up programe. And I could use a battery of Hogs too. |

Well I get the place holder he put up…. |

He doesn't appear to have returned to casting yet, if oldcrowmodels.co.uk is anything to go by. He is reachable, details at the link above. If you want to work on a shopping list, the old site is available on the WayBack Machine
link I'm hoping he is back soon. I want to get me some 15mm TAS and Slammers. |

The web site has not changed since July. Irrespective, Slammers in 15mmm will be available soon, though… Steps are being taken. See you at Salute… John T |

Oh John, you tease Shucks, I'm not trying to Poi000 but I'm also trying not to promise more than can be delivered, as it were. Everyone hates it when a source of kit dries up or – worse than that – simply never materialises when promissed. In the past, things have been touted as 'available soon' in many manufacturer's ranges and, to be honest, the Slammers project has not been immune from delays of this sort of nature. All I can say for definate is that 2013 looks like it will be the year when this sort of problem will be removed, for 15mm gamers at least. What we are looking to achieve is the specific Slammers vehicles (Blower tanks, combat cars, hogs and more), with as good or superior detail and – where apropriate – right sized for 1/100 15mm and in more options (looking at up-armoured versions of the Slammers vehicles for late Slammers forces and the Friesland Defence Force). The 15mm vehicles will be from a different manufacturer (ie not Old Crow) although Crow will still have other vehicles in 15mm (and – for the present – Slammers vehicles in other scales when and if they can be contacted after work hiatus difficulties etc.) The problem is that people playing the game in 15mm (probaby the majority in that scale at the moment*) want to be able to buy the specific vehicles for the rules and this has, frankly been difficult for a while and virtualy impossible for the last 8 months. So something had to be done… Anyway: that's the plan – and it should start coming in around April. John Treadaway

VERY excited. Does that mean you'll have something to show off at Salute? |
| John Treadaway | 28 Feb 2013 2:44 a.m. PST |
The short answer is "yes": there will be a manufacturer present on the day, the Warlords will have some on the Slammers game and there'll be an announcement in Miniature Wargames and some photographs in the show guide. John T |

And to add to the positive news, I emailed with Jez and his webshop should be operational again in a few weeks. And he has some new toys planned… |
