Thanks chaps, much appreciated. I'm afraid it is permanent, a quarter of the 150 people in the company were laid off. The good thing is that we'll get paid until end of July but no work obligations once you hand over your tasks to the survivors. The company has (civil) aviation as one of it's main customers so no wonder the cash and demand situation is in a bit of a free fall.

That's a real shame, I hope you're able to find something quickly but at least you get some hobby time until July!

Best of luck with the job hunt

Same thoughts here, Aksu. :(

Very best of luck !

Thanks again for the well wishing :) honestly I'm fine, pretty confident i can find something as at least in theory my skills (service design, ux design) are very much in demand now. And the benefit system in Finland is very good (hooray for socialism) even if worst  comes to worst.
Now, where did I put those lovely pendraken Aztecs I bought on an impulse... They are vaguely linked to the topic of Spanish flags after all.
Cheers,
Aksu

All the best Aksu .... and anyone else in a similar position.

Do it! I've been working my way through the Aztecs too, beautiful figures, and full of colourful painting opportunities.

P.S. Sorry to hear about your job, hope something else comes your way soon.

Hope you all remembered who nagged and whined for a decade or so to get them produced!

Yep Ian , and his Bl**dy Aztecs this , Meso a Fipping American that. "They must have the right feather shoved up their ........", You need to have the obsidian swords in this shape. The shields must have linen skirts - what were Shields that identified as women ???
