For any readers I have left, you are about to read a tale of the good, bad and normally impossible.  A year ago, I posted a note explaining that I had suffered a total computer meltdown (not me, the computer system I was using at the time).  The one that went down on me was a Windows 98SE box, which necessitated my converting to a Windows XP box.  So far, so good, though it did cause a considerable delay.  A couple of months after that, my new system was infected with a major virus attack that locked things up to the point that I had to hire a company to clean the computer out and get the beast running again.  While that was going on, I became involved with a lovely lady.  Nothing wrong with that, of course.  In fact that development was highly desirable.

One thing led to another and I married the lady on January 17, 2009.  At the same time I was trying to catch up on all the delays caused by the computer problems.

The next step in this ongoing disaster was a total computer system failure (back around April or May), combined with a computer store doing an improper backup while they were building a new computer for me.  There is much more to this sordid tale, but the gist of it is that I have lost all of my emails and business records dating back for the last couple of years. This has resulted in a total inablility to contact customers, check on records, etc, ad infinitum.  In other words, I have been totally dead in the water for the last several months.

I ask that ANYONE who has had reason to contact me for ANY purpose, but ESPECIALLY orders of CD-ROMs, wood bases, resin castings or modelbuilding services please contact me again.

There are several outstanding orders that I am aware of, but do not have the information necessary to either fill them or ship them. All I can do is wait until each individual gets mad enough to contact me, wanting to know where his order is.

This disaster was the result of circumstances that were totally beyond my control (other than getting married). I ask for your patience and co-operation and assistance while I work to get this train wreck back on the tracks.

If you haven't heard from me, please drop me a line at

And no, Scaleworld is not dead.  Just operating with a severe limp at the moment.  Product samples that have been received WILL appear here and new samples received will appear within a reasonable time.

Again, my apologies for the situation.

Thank you,
