Some of you, having recently visited Minairons miniatures website, may have eventually noticed this was shut down for a period of time – one or two weeks, usually – due to family health reasons. Such closures have happened two or three times in the last two months, and I must admit it to be expected for another several months, while Minairons Miniatures still runs under my management.
The reason behind these intermittent closures is my wife's health. She's affected by a serious disease requiring both oncological and physiotherapeutic treatment, so that her full rehabilitation is probably going to take a long time.
Therefore, the fraction of my time currently available for Minairons business has decreased significantly – enough for making me decide to close the website from time to time, when overwhelmed by the amount of orders, in order to keep taking care of her as well as household stuff as a priority.
This setback also affects our release schedule, as still shown on our blog's pipeline page. I'm not going to release any new items for a while, maybe one or two months; so everything in the pipeline stands there on standby, even those items potentially ready for an immediate launching.
Hopefully, things may start to run better soon, as my wife's health starts improving, and I am able to restart halted projects and serve customers as they deserve. Otherwise, I recently started a conversation with someone interested in taking over the management of Minairons Miniatures, now that I am theoretically retired – I hope to announce great news about Minairons' survival soon!
