Timecast

QRF seem to getting new owners as they have approached my friend who is pro painter to do some work for them.

I also really hope Timecast find a new owner. I can be guilty of looking at things and thinking I'm going to do that one day. Then something happens and there is no one day 

Who are EE, Nathan?

QRF are simply moving and one of the owners is retiring with the other owner taking over

The very nice preprinted scenery range Pendraken carry - Escenagrafica Epsilon.

I gather age and cost has caught up with him as well (dangerous trend, as my increasingly tired bones tell me!).

I think Oscar found that a fun part-time hobby business was becoming more of a stressful full-time responsibility, which wasn't what he wanted from it.  It's something that a lot of the smaller businesses hit at some point, and with the profits in this industry being as they are, much of the time it's not financially viable to quit the day job and go full-time in the hobby.

Yeah, I can imagine - it goes from doing something you love into a huge chore, a huge chore that actually doesn't pay off in any meaningful way
