If I remember correctly, it was about two weeks ago that the store was down. I thought it was going to be back up last week. Just curious if anyone's got any news concerning the storepage or what the case might be on their end. |

I guess he's been busy packing or casting and has shut the shop while he catches up with things. It isn't unusual and I am sure that, when he's ready, the store will open again. Just pop back regularly to check :) |

If you just want to browse and plan out an order, you can use the Internet Archive: link |

He's pretty busy at the moment and running a one man show and a household/job at the same time is a hectic endeavor. He'll be back up soon enough though. I'm waiting to place an order myself. |

Yep just use the Wayback Machine link to browse and Jon will be back soon. Odd as it may sound being a one person miniature operation is not a huge money maker and Jon more than likely does this more out of passion than for the big bucks. Normally during one of these shut downs it take Jon about two to three weeks to catch up. |

I was under the impression he outsourced the casting? |

It's also the holiday long weekend coming up. Even miniature makers take holidays… |

I had 80 orders backlogged, some for over a month, and the orders just kept pouring in. Some orders take hours to pack, and when I finally would get one done (at 1am sometimes, when I had to get up at 7 to go to work), and say, "phew, that's one less in the backlog," I would open my inbox and there would be three new orders waiting to be fulfilled! I decided to close shop for a week but it turned into two, and now three, because things happened to further delay order processing, including a knee injury that needs physical therapy. But I'll have the shop opened after the 4th of July weekend. Along with that I plan to release the rest of the Kofun Japanese codes (the peasant archers and the Emishi skirmishers), the new fantasy lizardmen, and a bunch of modern/pulp/sci-fi codes: Tech Ninjas (Ninjas with some firearm backup)
US Rangers in Arctic gear
Western criminals/terrorists
A second set of scientists, standing (including the justly famous little bald guy) I also will be releasing either the Thrainites (space dwarves), Four Nations (alien confederation), Celestial Mariners and Species 84, or the redo of the Carnivoran Hegemony -- can't decide which but I'd better make up my mind soon! Also a Government officials set (Federal senator, aide, Galaxy News reporter and reality show hostess Lileh Elizabett, her digicam guy, and her tomboy producer). AND I have a mighty new Khurasan vehicle to release! It will take your breath away!  (I may also have a North Korean heavy weapons set out but that depends, let's see.) |

Great! I cannot way to see your new stuff. |

Sorry to hear about the knee Jon, good luck with the therapy. Can I just say the 'Government officials set' sounds great … and Thrainites please :-) Cheers, Kev |
| HarleyHG | 03 Jul 2014 12:57 p.m. PST |
Any word on the Soriog vehicles? |

Carnivoran Hegemony, dammit! I want me some Space Weasels!
And take care of that knee, you madman! We all need you up and running and fit to keep feeding our addiction for things Khurasan Miniatures!

Yea Jon understand about the knee surgery thing completely. So take care. I will have to wait for my funds to recover post Historicon and graduate school fees before I can order more of your outstanding figures. BTW some of your minis will be showcased in the Tomorrow's War game I am running at Historicon. I will post pictures soon. I would have asked if you wanted to sponsor but figured you had your hands full. Looking forward to the new vehicles and everything else as well. |
| panzersaurkrautwerfer | 03 Jul 2014 11:43 p.m. PST |
I have money and it's going tragically unspent on 15 MM science fiction/maybe modern (if the M1A2 TUSK set comes out!) tanks. Please do hurry. |
| Dave L | 04 Jul 2014 6:27 a.m. PST |
My votes go to the Thrainites, the Alliance Medium Tank and the Unity IFV! Get well soon, Jon. |
| Lion in the Stars | 04 Jul 2014 10:05 a.m. PST |
Along with that I plan to release the rest of the Kofun Japanese codes (the peasant archers and the Emishi skirmishers) Huzzah!!! Now, about those Soriog vehicles (and the XM6 drone carrier)… |
| boy wundyr x | 04 Jul 2014 12:01 p.m. PST |
A vote for Species 84! But it's all good in the end (as long as Species 84 comes out sometime!). |
| Chatticus Finch | 04 Jul 2014 9:00 p.m. PST |
Oo!
H! Thrainites with the MDMS Vehicles and Drones? Yes please! |
 Legion 4   | 05 Jul 2014 7:55 a.m. PST |
Must have 6mm Jasimine Throne minis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But take care of your knee situation first !!  |
| Antonius Block | 05 Jul 2014 1:00 p.m. PST |
you could also try, increasing your prices somewhat, that might result in fewer orders and also better compensation for your time. |

Ah, thank goodness! I was beginning to think you'd fallen into the void. I'll be putting in an order as soon as the site's up, though I suspect it'll be a while before they arrive. M. |
