Right I was not either, things got so messy this year. (May write a book about it...)
This summer I spent a good part of my time hunting a fair deal on refinancing of my home and this fall I finally closed on a deal, this gave me the much need capital to start building new models and to finish these metal models, problem was until last month I was forced by slow sales of the plastic model to work on these metal models like a hobby, at night, weekends and after hours, and I found very few of these spare bits of time.
With this funding I am now able to work nearly full time on finishing these.
So the next run is nearly done; I am working on them as we speak.
One of the problems was the casting shop: guess I should have seen the writing on the wall, so many parts were wonkey and had to be recasted and reworked, anyway he sold the business a couple of months ago and I have been working with the new owners as best as I can, (and been waiting two weeks for some 4 last recast handle frames).
I figured this was why so much the old owner did was so hard to get right, he was burned out and wanting out.
Anyway this run will catch up all the prepaid down payment holders and should be out any week now, I am painting the black parts and polishing all the silver parts and plan to have them at the platers first thing next week.
While they are being plated I will be prewiring the Ammo clips and Housings.
One I get them back from the platers I will do final assembly and contact everyone to complete these orders.
All these will now come with a display stand as a thank you for the wait.
I am talking with another shop about becoming the caster for these and will be retooling and working with them for a new batch of these soon.

PS This is why I have not done any more on the web site, finished my life story, nor why we have not brought out any new models, time and money, we lacked money to buy the time.
