Covid 19 update
I think its fair to say that since March I have been fairly busy which I thank you all, August is appearing to be returning to normal in terms of orders. However Griffin moulds are incredibly busy at the moment which means that turn around of orders is about 6 weeks, that coupled with the fact that I'm still only going to the unit twice a week and the Post Office once a week means there may be a slight delay on some orders.
The majority of you are very understanding but I'm still surprised that I get the odd e-mail asking where their order is only 3 or 4 days after placing it. Guess that's life!
NEW RELEASES.
I received the new greens from Richard Ansell this week and they have been sent to Griffin, they all looked good and I will be putting pre-orders up on the web site in a couple of weeks.
I particularly like the charging French but to be fair I think they're all good.
In addition I should also be receiving Morgans Rifles for the Fife and Drum AWI range another nice set of 8 figures
What's Next?
By my reckoning there's around another 32 sculpts left for the FIW so the next set will include Personalities, Canadian militia, the drummers for the militia and Provincials and the Provincial standard bearer and a couple of other bits include some more females for populating the homesteads.
After that the 60th foot, some Courier du Bois and a few surprises.
Andy Stadden is working on a new set of figures to accompany Stuart Insch's next publication more of that in the future. In the meantime keep safe and maybe we will see a show in 2021?
No Salute 2020 offer: to make up for the disappointment I’m offering 15% discount on all orders over £60. (It excludes unit and army packs) The offer runs from now until midnight on the 19th April so take advantage.
Just enter the code NoSalute2020 at checkout.
Keep safe
First and foremost can I give a huge thank you to those of you who have placed orders in the last few weeks. As I'm sure you are aware cash flow for small companies is the lifeblood and the recent orders have helped make up for the cancellation of Salute, make sure I can pay the rent on the Office and has secured the next set of sculpts from Richard Ansell.
The impact of the pandemic is felt everywhere and I really hope you and your families are keeping safe.
In terms of Crann Tara Miniatures we are here now and will be at the other side when this has gone, however Griffin moulds who do my casting and mould making are now closed, this means that a restock order I had placed is now in limbo and some codes are already starting to look low if not already out of stock.
Therefore can I ask that those of you who still wish to place an order e.mail me first with your list so I can check, I will then send a paypal invoice. It just ensures there isn't too much disappointment.
I am almost up to date with all outstanding orders, a couple of them I have items out of stock and I will be contacting the relevant individuals over the next couple of days to see if they want to split their order, cancel all together or have a refund on the out of stock items.
On a brighter note Richard Ansell has started work on the Rangers and first set of Provincials of course they may be delayed if Griffin do not open for some time.
If you have any questions or queries don't hesitate to contact me.
SALUTE 2020 and COVID 19
I've had a couple of customers ask me what happens to pre-orders for the show if Salute ends up being cancelled - no worries I will send them out post free.
At this moment in time events at the Excel are going ahead as normal but obviously things are very fluid and could change at short notice. Remember there's a 15% discount on all orders over £60 using the code Salute2020 or just e-mail me if you want to discuss further. For a small business Salute is pretty critical in ensuring the increased publicity but in also funding the next two or three sets of new figures so hopefully all will be good.
