Plastic Soldiers Copany website down?
« on: December 29, 2012, 04:26:21 PM »
Hi,

in the last two days I had problems (read unable to access) the Plastic Soldiers Company Website [ theplasticsoldiercompany.co.uk ]. I am the only one with this problem?

This seems to be happening to them quite a bit.

Fastolf,

I had just to check a couple of things on the website (the Tiger instructions and the release list). I will come back to civilization in around 10 days and probably see Will in person at Cavalier. I can wait, my wallet told me I must wait anyway!

New Year and still not up :(

Did a little digging and found them mentioned in the London Gazette (company strike off applied for)

Went further and found that the dissolution process was stopped in October (companies house) and they still show as active.

Really hope this is not a bad sign for recent internet issue or if problem casue them an issue.  Will have to go down to local model shop that has a small selection - maybe find out what situation is - job for the weekend

Saw a comment today over on the Guild website from Will Townsend.  Apparently he was in Austria for his Christmas holiday and just got back today (Jan 5).  Apparently he could not get hold of his webhost service over the holidays, but is trying to get it fixed and hoping to be online today.

Good news for all I think.
