May                24/05/10- Its been a while since I did an update, Thankfully my health has finally improved and appears stable.

                          We have been very busy here working on several new ranges, The pages are currently being uploaded and everything

                          should be working in Mid June we have set a go live date of the 14th. Walling for 28mm and 15mm scale will be available,

                          Stuart has completed the masters for two new bridges to add to the choices for the river sections. The initial 15mm

                          Russian buildings are finally ready to cast and will be available. We have also decided to increase the range of river

                          sections availability and are currently designing a version that would be a wide river for 15mm figures or a standard

                          river for 28mm figures.

April              26/04/10- The rivers and marshes are now being uploaded, the range has been expanded and revised and new checkout

                          buttons will be added once we have uploaded the entire page and got all the links working correctly.

                          In the next two months we hope to bring a 6mm and 28mm version of these rivers into production.

                          Due for release next week will be the first new range of walling for 15mm and 28mm figures, prepainted and assembled on

                          bases of the same dimensions as the respective hedging ranges.

                           06/04/10 -  Well thanks to the Royal mail we have had to increase the delivery charges to compensate for the increases.

                           In order to keep the increases to a minimum we decided to implement a minimum postage cost of £3.99 for all orders

                           up to £20.00 in value. The flags are being uploaded, please bear with us while I get this sorted as the number of sets  is

                           large. Currently the order backlog is now into orders received in early march, so the situation remains stable as stated

                           above.

March           24/03/10 -  The gallery is getting an update, with some of last years commissions, and some images I have discovered on

                          the hard drive that never got put on the site.

                           The next set of flags after the french infantry for 1812 has been decided and its Wurttemberg next up.

                            Many thanks to my better half  who has tried her best to fulfill orders that  I had made enough stock of,

                           and tackle the incoming emails " not a strong point of hers" whilst I try to recover fully. But soon will be as she takes an

                           active role in the running of the business. 

                           This has made me focus on getting her up to speed with the business incase something happens again and to save me

                           some time by sending order confirmation emails etc.

                           I have now  had discussions with a model maker to complete some of the ranges I have designed, and the range of

                           buildings I had been working on, and am pleased to say these projects will be completed by him as well as a few projects I

                           had planned but not got around too.

                           The back log of customer orders is improving and this is being dealt with as a priority over everything else at present.

                            Site updates will being carried out over the coming week providing i have time with the addition of some new ranges,

                            the woodland boards have had a complete overhaul in design and now I have the images these will be posted up to the

                            page the range is also going to expand and in the coming weeks both 28mm and 6/10mm woodlands will be available.

                            Photographs of some items that currently have them missing will also appear. 

                            The flags are expanding and the 1812 pattern french with appropriate battle honours will be made available in larger

                            sized sets this will be followed by further new releases at the rate of approx 1 a week until completed.

                            A range of walling will be added to the catalogue shortly, as the modeller and scupltor has almost completed

                            the masters, he is then going to complete the masters for the long awaited bocage sections.

                            05/03/10 - The flags have arrived and the page is now viewable the checkout will be added shortly. Further news on this

                            subject over the next couple of weeks will see the addition of sets for the remainder of the french infantry for 1812 with

                            the appropriate battle honours. This will then be followed by the cavalry, currently these are being scale tested against

                            several ranges for fit.

                            The situation with the order backlog is improving as the warmer weather arrives and my health improves. I am clearing

                            the very large number of orders the site has received. Hopefully by the end of March everything will be back to normal.

                            My full apologies to anyone who has experienced a delay. If you have any concerns please contact me.

February:    26/02/10 - Next week sees the arrival of  Napoleonic Flag sheets, Exclusively produced for Terra Firma Studios and

                            designed by Stuart of Maverick Models. The eight inital sets designed are all generic  patterns suitable for

                            French 1804 Line infantry flags, French 1804 Light infantry, French 1812 Line infantry (no battle honours)

                            & French 1812 Light Infantry (no battle honours) .

                            A major improvement is going to be made to the shopping cart in March as I move to Roman Cart, all transactions are

                            still fully secure and will be handled by Paypal. This should improve the checkout flow and allow overseas customer to

                            purchase directly, also there are better postal capabilities allowing me to weight base the orders thus having greater

                            accuracy and resolve issue around Postage and packaging that I cant resolve using Paypal alone.

                             18/02/10 - TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF LASALLE, COAT D'ARMS PAINTS AND FILLA GLU ADHESIVES  I AM

                             GIVING EVERY CUSTOMER THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A GREAT SAVING ON THESE PRODUCTS FROM NOW

                             TILL 31/3/2010. VISIT THE model and wargame supplies PAGE.

                             09/02/10 - Having been rather ill for a few weeks but thankfully I am on the mend. I have made a few decisions about the

                             direction and way forward for my small business. I have been having a few supplier issues lately mainly with the flocks I

                             use, I hope to get this resolved but until I do I am keeping my remaining stock and have withdrawn it from sale.

                              The paint and adhesives are on their way to me as are the new Lasalle rule books. To complement the rules I will also be

                              stocking the correct sized bases and a new range of Napoleonic flags designed to fit 15mm figures.

January:       28/1/10 - Unfortunately there has been a problem with some of the decals while this issue is resolved I have suspended

                            the entire range. I expect the range to return in full and with new additions a total of 27 sets by the end of February.

                             For the Napoleonic fans out there, I will be adding the excellent Lasalle rules by Sam Mustafa to my ranges these can be

                             found under model and wargame supplies and using the heading books and will appear in the coming week as I do a

                             small  site update.

                             I have also decided to start stocking the excellent Coat D'arms paints and shortly will have the full range of  25 triads

                             developed by Steve Dean, the well-known figure-painter. The initial 11 triads can be seen on Steve's website here:
                             www.sdean-forum.co.uk the range will be found under model and wargaing supplies and the heading paint again this will

                             appear as I carry out some site updates.

                             22/1/10 The glue negotiations are concluded for now and this range will appear in the coming two weeks, I have a new 

                             batch of decals, 3 DAK sets and brit para shoulder patches. Due to the number of confirmed commission orders for tables

                             the date has now been amended above to July as the next earliest start date. 

                             16/1/10 Hoping that negotiations for the range of glues will be concluded next week, I will then have stock to be able to

                             sell, having used this range of adhesive for a while now I can guarantee it will do the job. I Have started to tackle the back

                             orders and despite only having had a couple of working days this week, have managed to clear a fair amount of work. The

                              weather has caused delays for all those waiting for layouts, as conditions have meant that I have been unable to do any

                              work on this side of the business until today.

                              8/1/10 I have decided to make it easier to see my current workload, so those details are posted above.

                              The Decals have arrived images are uploaded and checkout buttons will appear this weekend.  I have managed to get the

                              range of hills photographed so this weekend I will be completing the relevant sections of the site. 

                              Due to the adverse weather and the minus temperatures recorded I have been un able to carry out much work this

                              week, Please accept my apologies for the inevitable delays this will cause for some outstanding orders, Particularly

                              those of you that are awaiting river sections, but the low temperatures are not suitable for pouring resin.

                              4/1/10  Firstly Happy New Year to you all, Sadly the decals have not arrived as yet so I will suspend the page, and when

                              they do emerge from their transatlantic venture I will upload and commence the opening offer at that time.

                              Full table commission layouts- If you order now then the wait will be at least 3 months before commencement due to

                              the High volume of confirmed orders.

                              I have managed to source a range of the highest quality paint brushes, I have even obtained a Kolinsky Sable product

                              that is comparable, with the renowned Windsor & Newton series 7 brushes. All these brushes are hand made in the U.K.

                              to the highest standards, I will be also be stocking a slightly cheaper range of equally high quality quality in red sable.

                              These will be placed in the modelling supplies section and I expect them to be available within 2 weeks.

                              Despite my efforts to rebuild my stock levels of freestanding terrain over the last two weeks, the orders have still been

                              coming in at a high rate this will inevitably cause some delays in getting the orders dispatched, and it could be 3 to 4

                              weeks before you receive your order. If you have any concerns please contact me directly.
