Dear customers,
I have to tell you that I'm suffering from a rare autoimmune disease.
The good news is that it's not fatal!
The bad news is that it has taken up more and more space in my life over the last two years.
I'm so tired and in such pain that, for over a year now, I've been unable to keep up with your many orders (thank you very much for those). Despite working more than 60 hours a week, there are regular delays in deliveries.
After consulting my doctors, it turned out that living in a desert environment would be ideal for me. It would slow the disease down considerably, perhaps even stopping it or even reversing it.
My husband (a retired military officer) and my youngest son, aged 15, were both keen to go, so we'll move to Marrakech, Morocco.
Of course, L'Arsenal will be moving with me!
What's going to change for you? or not!
- There will be no price increase, as has been the case for over 20 years, despite the rise in raw materials prices.
- Thanks to a larger workshop, we're going to be expanding our team and our fleet of printers to optimise delivery times.
- Shipping costs should remain more or less the same.
- The delivery times for your parcels may be extended by around ten days.
- I will be looking into a solution to the recurring problems of supplying photoetch.
- Payment methods will remain the same, still in euros.
In absolute terms, there will be no major changes, apart from greater responsiveness.
Practical questions:
- L'Arsenal will close on May 15th 2024.
- L'Arsenal will reopen at the beginning of July 2024.
- If you need products before our reopening, do not hesitate to order now.
We will dispatch all accepted orders before the end of May.
- In order to 'travel' more lightly, we are having a clearance sale on Niko Model and White Ensign Models stock items, etc. (for all orders placed before 15 May). Don't hesitate to take advantage!
- For those of you waiting for White Ensign Models items, I should have them shipped before we leave. For those of you waiting for photoetch, we should receive some of it before we leave and all of it by the time we reopen.
I'd particularly like to thank you for your loyalty and support. Thanks to your support L'Arsenal is still alive and can offer you more and more new products.
This new adventure at L'Arsenal should bring you even better experiences with us!

Re: L'ARSENAL 2.0 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
I emailed you a couple times last week and this week and have not heard back; I am sorry to hear of your health issues hopefully the move helps. Seeing as you are still accepting orders until you close temporarily, are you going to be re-printing the order of planes we were discussing that were mis-printed before the May 15th date?

I'm very sorry to hear of your health difficulties M�laine. That is tough news to get.
Hopefully the move to Morocco helps ease the problem as you say.

Very best of luck to you and your family. Take care of yourself.

as a testimony, here is what I achieved to do with your 3D printed 1/350 german Atlantic (you certainly remember, the famous one with the misprinted left wing... sure you see what I mean
).
