Hate to be the 'Ugly American' here since we are talking about people's real lives, but any update on the Peninsular Non-Kickstarter? I am itching to get my mitts on these.

I'm sure Leon will give you an update later today, Mike. :)

Apologies for the delay on things, 2020 hasn't been a great year so far...  The good news is that Tony's started sculpting again and is working on the first batch now.  I think he's going to do the civvies, mule trains, etc first as a bit of an easier job, before jumping into the British.  We'll be moulding the sculpts as soon as they land with us and then we can look at sending your pledges out in batches rather than one big box.

Leon, sending the items out in batches rather than all at once may in the end turn out to be a blessing, as we're gonna be less overwhelmed with stuff to paint!

Leon the master of understatement....

I like that you are leaving room for December to improve on the preceding months  ;D

More seriously, a bit of delay isn't a big deal. While it will be great to have the figures and buildings, there have been many unplannable events this year, both in general and on this project itself.

I'm not buying a 2021 planner until I see a trailer ;)

I'd like to have a batch ready to go out before Christmas but it's going to depend on the sculptor at this point.  We've got the wagons here so if we can get mules/horses and civvies in time, we can get the Misc section done and sent out to folks.  I've got the flags already done and printed as well, so we could send those.  Although a flag sheet isn't much use without figures to put them on!

Personally I don't mind waiting as I would prefer to get my order in one batch. But I will go with the flow...

Any news / updates on the buildings? I think you (leon) were talking about getting some pictures of them up?

I'm just waiting on some pics from John and then I'll put them straight up.  He's almost back to work properly after the heart attack and was making some progress on them when I spoke to him last week, so hopefully we should have something soon.
