9.27.2024 UPDATE: Post Storm Briefing

Friends,

We had a scare around here, but we came through OK.  Keep reading for the details.

THIS WEEK

Early this past week, hurricane Helene looked to be heading our way.  Luckily, the last day before it hit, it drifted to the East.  That was good for us, but it was the worst possible news for the people it hit.  Folks, the small fishing town of Steinhatchee, Florida was wiped from the face of the map as cleanly as Mexico Beach was removed by Michael.  My heart (and prayers) is with those people as I know — first hand — what it is like to be in their shoes.

NEW RELEASES

I had hoped to release some more new goodies, but that was postponed by storm prep.  You can still find last week’s new releases here:  Check them out here.

ON THE BENCH

I have several re-worked masters on my bench that go to the new items I just released.  I will announce them next Friday, but will be making them live as of today.  If you see them, you will know which ones they are.  I have a big red flash on them telling you they have been re-mastered.  If you order them, you will receive the updated castings.  No worries there.

I continue to grind on my early war Sherman stuff, but I also have the first M50 turret shell on my bench.  NO PROMISES, but I am pushing to get the first M50 turret out by the end of September. In conjunction to that, I am also working on a radial engine deck for the M4A4 hulls (M50 fans should understand), and an M4A4 HVSS lower hull.  These will take time, but I am going to be into the Israeli Shermans very soon.
OPEN ORDERS
I have several open orders.  Several are waiting on special requests, the others came in late and had to be put off until Monday, but they will ship early next week.

CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES

I have no known customer service issues at this time so, if you are still waiting on something, you’ve gone stealth mode.  Please email and let me know you need to be put back on my radar screen.

MY WORLD

I ‘m in decent health and acceptable spirits.  Plus, I am starting to see what I think is a light at the end of this current tunnel.  Now, let’s just hope it isn’t the ‘Murphy train,” LOL.

MY BUILD BLOG

STILL doggedly determined to make progress on this front or give up everything but making masters and selling resin.

THAT IS ALL

OK, that is all I have for now. Until next week, stay safe and try to build something (preferably something using TMD resin).

Joe, out
