Hey guys, I finally got to paint two of my Artel models up the other day! I love the quality and the character they have on every inch of them, nothing has been missed from flow of clothing to the design of weapons and poses to reflect the model, it's all just so good! I painted the Kiborc and a Boneshee. I am going to search hell and highwater to find a full squad even if I need to sell my house! thought you might like to see some painted?
Thanks for producing such amazing models and excellent service! I'll be certainly buying more......many more things from you

The best thing is, the kits already come prewashed with water, so you can fire away with your paints when you get the model and cut the parts ready to assemble. I was surprised, as i primed the kit and forgot to wash it first because thats normally what i do with resin kits. The paint directly sticks like it should and so i could begin painting...
Thats the kind of service normally all should provide to their customers....its a shame that the big G put down the hammer on this company...will support their miniature range they now have left ;-)
Here is a pic of my Warseer. along some other Eldar models, it's a bit more slim than Gw ones, but looks good enough if not more realistic (for Eldar bodies at least)

Probably safer for them if customers do that sort of thing.
As for the Policeman, any chance of an (optional?) small shield, maybe with a logo on it, maybe like a european eagle motif that we could add to them somewhere? You could just add it to the sprue, and we could then glue it down anywhere. I'd probably put mine on the left breastplate...
Thank you for doing my job, friend Some more to cheer you up guys:
Very early WIP of some officer for our recently orphaned Aide. He is Major, by the way.
We`re thinking about something like this for him, his Colonel and, let`s hope, his Commissar as well.
MIssed delivery of my stuff last week because they tried dropping off a package requiring a signature on week day, picked it up form the post office yesterday and I'm very impressed. Very little flash or mold slippage requiring clean up. Cool little presentation box too, wrapped in brown paper and string with a wax seal.
Very cool - never really thought about him having a moustache - interesting.
The table is a great idea - maybe an attractive blonde noble type who is more than she seems could also be in on the briefing.......

Some new WIPs will be there later today, but now I want to ask you something. I`m totally understanding, that you want to know when you`ll recieve your orders, as well as waiting are too long, sorry for that. But - yesterday I spent almost 5 hours answering the same requests: how long, why is so long, can you update and etc. So, again: all orders will be fulfilled, but it taking some time, especially if there was Chastener or Warseer in your order. And no, usually I can`t be more precise - too many orders for the prediction. We`re sending about 200-300 minis every week - and I`m sending tracking numbers to the customers, usually in 3-4 days after the actual dispatching. Please, be patient, we`ll back to normal schedule in two months. Until then - delays not only possible, it will be for sure. Sorry again.
Though - if you have urgent need, don`t hesitate to contact me. If you need your order for competition or tournament, or something like that - tell me about it ASAP, I`m not promising, but I`ll try to make something with priority lists. I really can`t do anything, when you tell me, that you need minis in two weeks, but I probably can if it`s month.

I am not in a rush, as long as the minis end up arriving . It's just that the information given is... scant, so people gets antsy because they don't know what's happening.
As mentioned, they're hella busy, I got a notice as well, but as was mentioned these are given out a few days past the actual shipping of the orders. My order was posted on the 24th last month, so it's slowly getting here.
But them being busy is a good thing, shows that people really do want their stuff, always a good incentive for companies.
Just submitted tarcking numbers for almost 400 miniatures Ok, some fresh WIPs! The ALMOST final look for the member of Law Enforcement Unit and his best friend.
