Nice work, are they still in business? :D

Cheers, As far as I know they are, they were at Partizan  :)

I have to admit they have the worlds worst website though.

Well, yes, it is bad, several different addresses and a general feeling of neglect and a start up menu that suggests it is shut, etc.  But there is some nice stuff there, unavailable anywhere else and at a cheap price that reflects the lack of an update.

I got mine about 4/5 years ago & picked up some other bits at Partizan a while agoo too, so I can't help I'm afraid.
He does or did go on Frothers as Tardis & may even have been on here too under that name.

Another beauty. I didn't know anyone made this as a model... but not sure anyone does at the moment though.

Joroas, I managed to get hold of a Smith Gun from Stronghold a few years back, I emailed the contact address on the home page and had the model within a few weeks. Might be worth a punt.
Don't!

Emailed them without a response, so I rang him up.  He isn't doing orders at the moment, he is hoping too shortly, but he didn't give an idea of a timescale......  :'(
