Doing the right thing

While looking around the web for deals on Sarissa in the EU I ran across a cloned website of Sarissa. Looked really well done, but in an older format, with current pics and oddly high discounts. Thought I had run in to the testwebsite for a potential upcoming sale at first, but after some online checking (like using the Wayback machine etc) I concluded It must be a fake.

Reported it with screenshots etc to Sarissa and this was their reply.

Hi Johan,


Thank you for taking the time and directing us to the fake site. We’ reported it through various channels and it has now been taken down thankfully and I hope that no one was tricked into using it.


As a thank you for your assistance please accept this £5 voucher code which will give a discount of £5 on any order of £20 or over.



<nope, not showing that, sorry...>


Many thanks,Steve


After being scammed in Agugust by a real shop (losing out 160,77 euros in the process cause www.minigamers.nl just keeps your money and does not send out any stuff) my faith in humanity is a bit restored.

(And then Trump won so now it's shaky again.....<sigh>)

Hard Sci-fi civilian vehicle WIP

 Saw this basemodel early October as a sci-fi vehicle and thought, I can do that. So found one on sale and made it my own with some old (and very old) GW and other parts. Basemodel is a 1/48 Tamiya 7ton Armoured Car MK. IV

Went with a abandoned Redneck in space look. Plenty of scope for weathering. Minor cleanup tomorrow then primer.

Will work for any hard Sci-fi I suppose.Alien, Rogue Trader, Stargrave
