I've had 2 people today ask where my shop has gone. The answer is due to lack of patronage, I closed it. I didn't have the ability to keep it open with the number of sales happening and the costs associated. I primarily work as a props maker in the film and TV industry and this along with some large commissions has taken my time away from producing new kits. A catch 22 situation. All kits will still be available when I am not buried under with other work or health issues and new ones will still be released from time to time. I will be at the Sydney Dollshouse and Miniatures Fair in Sydney this weekend, but for the first time in 5 years not have a sales table. I will have an almost completed commission on display before it goes to Tasmania as well as the Alien Cinema.
Kits will be available through this blog or my E-mail from time to time when my health and commitments allow it. To those who have contacted me lately about kits, apart from the NZ Railway House I have no others in stock and I won't be able to cut new ones until later this month at the earliest. From experience I have found that if I try to make up kits when I'm busy with other work, the kits end up with missing pieces so I have found it better to leave them at the moment.
I'm not going anywhere and while their is an interest in what I do, I'll keep doing it.
Yours in miniatures
