I have been having a number of problems casting for the last few weeks and despite a number of visits from my friendly local engineer have not yet managed to resolve exactly what the problem is.  The machine is still working but not correctly and it is thus taking far longer to get items cast than it should do.

I have been to see a new casting machine, which I am still considering,  and have been offered a second hand machine which I will hopefully be picking up and getting running in the first week of September.

This means that there are currently some delays to getting figure orders out (depending on whether I have cast stock and the types of figures you order) and it also means that I will have almost no stock at the Colours show on 14th/15th September at Newbury  – this includes the new Sikh Wars range, etc.

If you want figures at Colours  then PLEASE preorder and I will do my best to get them cast up for you and ready to collect.

I am hoping that the new casting machine (which is a compressor type rather than my existing bob-weight) will actually making casting more efficient in the future.

Many thanks for your patience

Mike
