Michaels 10mm 1809 BLOG

[WeeWars]

After nearly 9,000 more views of this topic since I last posted, it's about time I got my act together, my 1809 Blog up and running again, and get posting regular updates here.

Blog Post 183 was the last one I linked to on this Forum, so here's a link to the next post:

followed by another 5 posts about what I've been up to.

And I hope to bring the Blog up to date as soon as pos.

Cheers, Michael

Thank you Will and Phil!

Close to 1,700 views of this topic in three weeks and only two replies. I must try harder.

Keep an eye on the image in Post 196 for the appearance of the full 100.

There's also important news in Post 196 regarding a necessary website rebuild and changed page links that will affect some links in this forum topic and perhaps bookmarks you may have made.

Cheers, Michael

All looking good, can't wait to see the results.

Lovely, once again, Michael !  
May be my PC, but I can't get to 195 & 196.
(Will obviously can...I'll have another try tomorrow.)

Old and kanckered PC ? (like it's owner....)

Lapping really good as per.

[Steve J]

Some great work there Michael and the new miniature range looks rather good.

[Techno]

I can see 195 & 196 now. 

(Don't quite understand why.....But this PC seems to slow right down in the late afternoon/evening...It's fine at the moment. Is it just down to the amount of local 'traffic' using the intraweb ?)

Maybe some scheduled process (Like a virus scanner) that runs in the background at this time?

Sounds like the culprit. Check to see if there's a virus scan scheduled to run daily.

Meanwhile, another post and one that should provoke comment (cos it's about money):

POST 197

Interesting to note the big difference in prices. Worth noting that Pendraken will provide just one figure from a range at not extra cost. This has proved very useful to me in the past.

Great post, very interesting.

[Leon]

Unfortunately I think you've used an old pricelist of ours there as the packs are £4.50 each, so our foot should be 15p per figure, mounted are 30p each and a gun with crew would be £1.50 each.  We're still comparing favourably with the others, plus we have other bonuses as Steve mentioned, so hopefully it's all good!

And I was just going to post about what good value Pendraken is.

Then Leon goes and spoils it all with facts.      

What's more interesting from the numbers is how similar most of the manufacturers are in their pricing (apart from the GHQ figs which are really expensive).

In 10mm its not really the cost of the figure - but the cost of the unit.

Well done Leon, some companies would have kept quite on this

As a serial 'special order' placer, the service from Pendraken is a massive bonus

PS A very prompt response Michael

Oops, my mistake. I've amended the post accordingly. Pendraken was the only current list I didn't check - that price rise must have passed me by.
