Smaller packaging and higher prices and longer shipping times.

Hi Guys
The bottle size is due to feed back from buyers e-mails, which seems to have made a lot of people happy resulting in lower prices and making it more affordable to modelers and the younger generations just starting out in the hobby.
If larger bottles are needed just drop me a e-mail with your request and order and i'll sort it out for you no prob.
I have just sent Bill cross a package ,so i am counting the days it takes to get to him but i am hoping to make delivery to the U.S in under 7 days.Which i dont think is to bad for the other side of the world.

Hi Darren
Time, i think there just was not enough hours in the day for Him to carry on and do what needs to be done with his family and other things in his life.
AS well as researching colors.(which takes days)
Mixing by hand until there perfect.
and every thing else that goes with D.O.A Paints

I'll simply carry on providing the quality and colors needed by you guys,
He will always be in the back ground giving me advice,and help point me in the right direction to maintain the good name of D.O.A a company he started and a product he made form scratch.And i count myself lucky to be able to take further.

Now now boys..I haven't called it quits. Andy is correct.

I am not able to give this little deal the full attention it needs due to time constraints.

I am still "behind the scenes" and a part of the DOA paints.

Andy is handling researh, development and distribution.

Have you considered selling these paints pre thinned ready for the airbrush? I ask as I found that while good results were achieved using the paint straight from the bottle, the paint seems to have such strong colour that it leant itself to being heavily thinned. I found that by thinning the paint the same good results could be achieved and that clean up was much quicker when it came to the airbrush. Just a suggestion.

Does anyone know how to contact Trackpads?

I've ordered some paints back in April, with only a PayPal invoice showing the purchase went through. The online shop hasn't sent any confirmation nor an email to say why the delay.

I've even messaged Andy Preston on his Facebook account, and am getting no response. I guess will try contacting him through here and see what happens.

Any ideas??



regards,
Jack

He has however been on the MilMod site recently, showing off a new resin building. You'd have to join to post or if you wanted to PM him from within that site.
