I've been checking in to the Pithead Miniatures site at least weekly to see if I'm allowed to place an order yet – since some time in December (or maybe November?) there's been a notice on the front page that the company was unable to accept orders and would be back in operation in mid-January.

Now that mid-January is drawing to a clsoe, the web site presents me with a big "Website Deactivated" page. Uh, oh….

Does anyone have more details about this?

I hope nothing untoward has happened, his models are the lynchpin of my Triple Alliance project!

Before the site went offline, there was a note how they wouldn't be taking any more orders as they were incredibly backlogged with current orders. My guess is its temporary until they get things sorted and up to date.

I regret to announce that the new Pithead Cart website is now closed and will not be re-opening . For the time being can Pitheads 10mm customers please use our old website for your orders. As Spithead Naval Miniatures will no longer have a shop window then that part of the business will stay closed to new customers at least and it is likely that it will remain closed for some time. The company is now looking for a new website designer but hope to be open again at an indeterminate time in the future. The predicted fall in our orders will not be all bad news however as you can expect to see an increase in the output of new models produced by us as I will have more time to devote to sculpting .
Best wishes Phil

Phil, I assume you mean this site, right?

Funny , it was working yesterday. I will probably only be dealing with a few of my regular 10mm customers so I suppose I will just have to send out model lists on request until a new website can be created.
