EXCITING NEWS

Today marks another milestone in the expansion of our ability to provide you with the best in cardstock models and texture sheets.  There is an announcement on the HOME & TEXTURE pages, letting you know that all of the textures you have enjoyed, can now be purchased on line and immediately downloaded.

Many of you have asked for this feature and even though it took us a while to figure out how to make it work,  IT”S DONE!

If you go to the “TEXTURES” page, you will see the usual thumbnails that have been there since we started.  BUT now, when you click on them, in stead of just getting a bigger picture, you get a much bigger, better picture and “ADD TO CART” buttons that you can click to purchase the texture.  Clicking on any of the buttons will take you to a “SHOPPING CART” page and from there you may purchase the item either with Pay-Pal or a credit card.  Those of you who still wish to pay by check or money order will have to use our “CONTACT” page to email us for instructions.

Please note that while we really try to get things perfect right from the beginning, we know that “stuff happens”.  If you have any concerns or difficulties, please contact us immediately and describe the situation so that we can make it better.

One of the big advantages, to you and us, of this additional feature, is that we can now make more items easily availabel in a lot less time.  Very soon you will see textures show up that you haven’t seen before.

And speaking of more items, start watching the “MODELS” page.  Downloadable kits will be showing up very soon!

Thanks for your continued support.

Thank you for the Scale House. Looks like a fun build.

Thanks John, It's a kit that has been around for a wile. I never released it because i felt that it needed the scale components, which I could never find suitable pictures for. It became a kind of orphan model. Glad it found a home.

Hi All,

I have downloaded the Merintile kit. I compared it to the kit I had purchased some time ago. All looks good with the kit. Congratulations!!

Two items on the download screens:
1. I clicked on the box that indicates if I would like e-mail notices about new releases in the future. I am not sure that it worked. ie: no confirmation.
2. Also, when I clicked on "return to sellers web site" or "continue shopping" I end up at another web site. I tried this two times. This function is not working.

You are doing great work. I am looking forward to the future releases.

John thanks, I'll check those links.
Just curious what web sight did you go to? There's mexican photo model sight called Clever models. We have had a couple of issues with them in the past

OK. OK The "add to mailing list" finally did wotk. According to the e-mail time stamps, looks like it took about 50 mins.

Thom and Dave,

The scale house looks great. I think that I will use it for a clinic on making cardstock buildings, next Fall. I especially like the addition of the worn and torn tar-paper roof. I always think that sort of thing adds character. I'll probably add a hole in the middle of that one, as well. Excellent job!

Thanks Jim. Did you get the new tar paper sample I sent?

[Jim Gore]

Thom and Dave,

Didn't get the new tarpaper sample, but would love to experiment with it. Please send again!
