Website working fine again

I'm most relieved and happy to let you know that our www.minairons.eu website has just been fully restored at last, with all its main features properly working.

PayPal Most important, these good news also include our PayPal payment module, that had ceased to work two weeks ago --due to have become outdated and no longer supported. Such module has been adequately updated folollowing PayPal's own directions, so that it works fine again.

Apologies to all those having had issues during those stressing two weeks!

Moroccan Regulares preview

We've already started working on a new set of Spanish Civil War 20mm figures. It's now time for one of the Nationalist side's most feared shock troops: the native Moroccan troops known as Regulares. Here below you can watch some sketches of the first one of two forecast sets devoted to this colonial corps:
20GEF019
As usual, this first set will comprise 13 askari riflemen and 2 NCOs --mostly dressed in a between seasons uniform, with varying headgear. All 15 figures will show a different, unique posture.
20GEF003
Sculpting work of this new set started some days ago and is progressing at a fast pace, so it allows us to expect having them ready quite soon.

Website down

green logo Some of you perhaps have already noticed that our www.minairons.eu website is currently out of order.

Our maintenance team is hurriedly working to solve this. It's still uncertain whether they'll be able to sort the issue out in a matter of hours, or days instead. Please accept my most sincere apologies for this temporary inconvenience.

All our e-mail addresses are working and fully functional, however. If you are in the need to get in touch with us, whatever the reason for, keep confident that we'll be promptly responding to you. Apologies again.
