Title: Scheltrum Miniatures offline?
Post by: Davros on May 27, 2016, 03:17:08 AM

I am wondering if anyone knows what is happening with Scheltrum Miniatures? Their website is offline.

I asked the same http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=87913.0 and to be honest reached the point of going elsewhere.  With no northern show presence the web was the only way to see the range and buy so the lack of a site was the deathknell for the project idea.

Given I work in IT I was a but lost as to the issue with the hosting company and site to keep it down for so long and with sites such as 24x7 allowing free monitoring why do customers have to tell companies their site is down?

Scheltrum is still in business, was at Border Reiver, Salute and Carronade and will be at Claymore in August and probably at Skelp later in the year.

The issue lies with the hosting company which I have been informed by the owner has been paid but has not put the site back up. He is trying to sort this out.  The owner is a friend of mine, with his own business to run day to day and Scheltrum is very much a hobby. The problem is lasting far longer than he'd like, but he is doing his best to fix it. He is, as he'd be the first to admit, not the most IT savvy of chaps and this probably hasn't helped. However for the meantime keep your eye open and the site will be back up as soon as possible.

I don't know HOW I got it my head it was a German concern. lol

I must have gotten everything indirectly; or I'm JUST THAT OLD.

Please pass my condolences, and promise a rousing order as soon as the site's back up. Or, if I fire off a note. I can be JUST THAT IMPATIENT.  ;)

Do you  know if the Land Leviathan is available for order?

So, to be clear, for everyone's benefit  :)

If you want to find out you will need to get in touch with Scheltrum directly and ask - that might take a little while at present due to the problem above and at the best of times will not be the zippy slick service received from other more mainstream, full time operations.

As I'm a regular on this forum, I keep an eye out on his behalf, but am nothing to do with the company and have no idea about ranges, stock levels, prices, postage etc.

Keep checking back, you now know as much as me. :D

I ordered Sheltrum divers and other underwater stuff from Brigade Games in the USA once years ago, but the goods were not in stock, got taken off my bill, and I never got those cool divers. Someday I'd like to run an underwater scenario, but I'm not sure if I'll ever get those cool Sheltrum divers. Sad...

I understood, your highness. I meant I assumed I could make contact via the email on the blog.

Edit: My mistake; the email on the blog didn't work, either.  ::)
