SOUNDS LIKE I’M WHINING, I PROMISE I’M NOT

A lot of project have been slow going or put on the back burner due to a series of events I had little control over and mostly unplanned … all the way from storm damage to a roof, requiring a totally new roof (60 sq – yeah that ain’t small), a lot of roof decking, fighting with insurance that wouldn’t pay for it, to water damage in a bathroom requiring a complete gut and new bathroom and replacing several joist that insurance would pay for, the regular summer chores or lawn, landscaping and garden upkeep. All the way to life style changes to having to move an aging relative into our home and setting up a place for them to live. (that’s just to name a very few) It has been one thing after another for many months now and unfortunately I’ve had to put a lot of projects on hold as these came on the heel of the longtime issue going on I had with my eye that does seems to be better now (still no one figured out what it was) and adding a new studio and garage last year that ate up a tremendous amount of time and I’m not even finished with that yet … oh how I long for the days of youth when I had tons and energy and could set around and actually truly whine about being bored I have nothing to do.
And that folks is just the things that have been or are currently are being worked on and there is a very lengthy list of “TO DO’S” yet to be addressed.

So if I have forgot your project, been delaying your project or I’m not getting back with you in a timely fashion or at all I do apologize for that. I swear it wasn’t deliberate and I’m about one more thing being dumped on my plate from running off into the woods screaming “That’s it, that’s enough, I can’t do no more!” … eh probably won’t happen spent most of my life under the gun of too many irons in the fire, but you’d like to think that at some point it’d ease up a little and someone could ask me – “Hey Dave what are your doing today?” and I could reply with great confidence and delight “Absolutely nothing.”

COMING SLOWLY PEEPS (SCALE PEOPLE)

Several have asked so here’s the deal …

Coming slowly is are the people, I have a lot of scale people to add to the line up. Assorted types like standing, seating, carrying things, working, dancing, living life, and a lot more (Sorry no, I’m not doing special request nor am I selling painting figures. – maybe the ones I did for pix I’ll sell.) So it will be slow going making them, cleaning them up, painting them and adding them to the store as I have to somehow keep everything organized so that when you order I’m not looking for them and that’s easier said than done. I still have a store to run. So please check back as I’m trying to add at least one day, but there is no guarantee that will happen. I still have a lot of custom project to do for other people and even more custom buildings to build for others. And yes there are several scale people coming for mature audiences the NSFW ones if you know what I mean … wink-wink-nudge-nudge.
Right now these are available in HO, S and O. I’m sorry the N scale as been a nightmare as they tend to have a high fail rate being so small, I’m still working on it but as of right now it’s not not practical for me to make them. Many of these are low poly meaning that they have limited enlargement capacity, maybe up to 1:32, but I think that would be pushing it on some. Others are HD poly meaning I can increase them with little to no loss of detail up fairly large but I’m not going to be making anything above 1:18 in all likelihood – so larger sizes are available on request (price to be quoted at that time) but be aware some figure/sizes will not be available in all scales.

Here is a pic of a few and no not all of these are in the store yet – I’m working on it.
