Question about Backwood Miniatures

[Jeff Schumaker]

Group,

Back in September, I put in a request for their 009 crane kit. I was told that I would be contacted when the kit would be ready, in approximately a month. After two months, I sent an email asking about the status of the kit, but received no reply. Since then, I have sent emails once or twice a month, but still have received no reply.

Is Backwoods Miniatures still doing business?

Some time ago Pete McParlin's wife Jen was diagnosed with a form of dementia, and I understand she I still now at the point of needing a great deal of care that probably means that Pete has little (if any) time to run Backwoods Minatures.

I had heard that he was looking for someone's to take the business on, though if that has happened or not I couldn't say.

Given the circumstances it is understandable that your e-mails have gone unanswered, but I'm sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer as to what the current situation is.

Julien,

Thanks for the information.

Julian is correct regarding Petes wife Jen, but I was told late last year that Pete had suffered a heartattack.

Do not have any other info regarding his health since then.

Thanks, Stan. Between those two events, I can see where everything else has been put on hold.

Very sorry to hear about their troubles. I have a Taliesin kit lin my to do box, waiting for me to complete my other kits first.

Tried to call them recently too for another (dare I say it) On30 kit, to modify a Forney...

I wish them both the best!

Very nice people!
