We're in the midst of catching up on production of our Canal Street and Third kit, which is shipping a week or so later than scheduled. Our apologies for the delay. Our laser cutter suffered a small mishap during the holidays and getting a part at that time proved challenging. The part we finally received was defective, so a second one was ordered...of course when everyone was heading home for the holiday.... in addition to some other supply issues, also a challenge during a holiday. Needless to say we won't be scheduling ship dates around this time again! Hopefully your patience is rewarded when you receive the kit, several dozen of which have shipped as of today, and will continue shipping through the next week.

The Color of Things to Come?
Firstly, Happy New Year! We hope you had a great holiday season and a satisfying, productive year at your work bench.Naturally I've had Arizona on my mind since we returned from our trip last month. It was only a matter of time before I couldn't resist the urge to use some of the ten pounds of red dirt and sage brush I'd shipped back home from Sedona. In this case it was for a small diorama I built for a friend. I'd never taken a stab at coloring rocks beyond shades of grey, and it was necessary to match my carved plaster rocks with the finer dirt I sifted around the edges. When the match wasn't as close as I'd like, rust colored weathering chalks came to the rescue. Quickly I could see myself building some layout scenery like this, on a larger scale - it's very tempting to say the least. At the moment I'm committed to my Iowa based, present day layout but there's no reason to say, build a small module, maybe 2' x4'. We'll see.
In the meantime, we're in final production of our Canal Street & Third kit which will start shipping later this week. We've also been finalizing several kit ideas and projects for the coming year as well as starting our fourth DVD project , which may be available my the end of January or early February.
Stay tuned, here or on our facebook page for updates as well as our monthly newsletter.
Have a great 2010!
