Dear all.

I've been out of modelling business since a while of 3 years. Today I was searching for news in the modelling business and met the pages of some producers. I've found some new producers and did find out, that the page(s) of Cromwell productions

www.cromwellmodels.com and http://www.xs4all.nl/~cromwell/

are not available. Is Gordon Brown out of Business?

I don't think so. Graham is notorious for not updating his web site and for not returning emails. With that in mind, of course, I'd only buy Cromwell stuff if I could see it on a shelf in front of me.

Yes, you are right. Once I had a big trouble with them. Paid 1300Euros and waited for 8 weeks. No reply, nothing. In the end I transfered the money back to my account. What a shame!

I was just wondering if they are OOP...

Thanks for reply

Dear Gordon,

My name is Dan and I have trying very hard for the past two weeks to order your new 1/35th scale Cougar MRAP resin model! I don't know the price but I am sure it is fair, however I have not been able to get to your website nore have I gotten a response to an email I sent. If you would email me back and let me know how I can go about ordering the kit I would appreciate it!!!!! My email address is [email protected] please email me back and let me know. My son if a fifth generation marine and I am trying to build all the Gulf war armor and as far as I know Cromwell models is the only manufacturer making this model. Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Dan

Dan, dude, you'll be better off if you (in order of likelihood of a response) :

a) Call Gordon directly in Scotland (remember the 5 hour time difference),
b) Email him directly,
c) Post a query over on Missing Lynx as he tends to lurk over there a little more than here,
d) Buy a lotto ticket & hope to fly over directly

The chances of the last three working are approximately the same...

:)
