  • Unfortunately, shipping to the U.K. is no longer feasible.

    Due to changing laws regarding collecting and remitting VAT for orders sent to the United Kingdom, we have suspended shipping there until such time as that sorts itself out. In theory individuals are still able to ship without difficulty, but as a business it is more complicated. I will keep looking into this more to see if there is an alternative that doesn't require me to start filling paperwork in U.K.   The remaining EU countries are still clear and, in fact, we have reestablished shipping to Germany and that seems to be going better with less burocratic nonsense.

  • 3D Printing and Historical Reenacting

    Recently 3D printing has crossed a threshold which has made it practical and useful for reenacting. However, it is still a long way from having the dramatic life altering impact that many people seem to think. I wanted to take some time to put my thoughts on 3D printing into writing to help other people understand what 3D printing will mean for historical reenacting and help some people decide if they want to get involved and how it may effect their reenacting experience.

    Reminder: INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS WILL BE DELAYED BECAUSE OF COVID-19!!! This means that the tracking number may go several weeks with no movement as the USPS International Distribution Centers are moving very slowly.

There are simply not as many flights for parcels.
