Ecardmodels.com finalizing grand opening

Hello everyone,
I would like to thank you all for your patience. I know ecardmodels has been offline for a LONG time. We had a few false starts, spent A LOT of time trying to recover the old site to import files and information as well save your customer data. Unfortunately the compatibility just was not there. We sunk a few months going down a certain path to find the performance wasnt there to scale at the size of ecardmodels.

So here we are today - the site is OPEN for business. There are very few models in there now as in the end after all we have done we decided as a team that the best course forward would be to first list any new kits from any designers followed shortly by a couple kits from any designer that reaches out directly to have relisted. As time goes on we will be reintroducing every kit offered at old ecardmodels. We will tag anything that existed previously so you will know to check your inventories.

Items of note - accounts and purchase histories are gone. You will need to register new accounts. If you do accidentally purchase a repeat just let us know and we can refund. At this time I cannot offer as much in the way of repaints. I am working on a solution for this. If a repainter only offers kits for one designer I can work with that, but multiples will be tough. We will get there though.

I would also like to send a huge thanks to everyone that has been helping me all this time with only my gratitude as payment. Ecardmodels.com has existed for many years now. I have not in any of those years turned an actual profit. The mission of ecardmodels is to promote the designers that so love this hobby and to also find people that wish to learn more about this wonderful hobby. This last year of downtime has seen a lot of struggle from myself and the staff to get us back up and running with a stable, solid platform that is future facing and much more flexible and upgradeable than what we had in the past. Great work to everyone. Thanks!

On a final note I wanted to thank all of you for your support and patience. I know I have not been around much but the team members here have been keeping me looped in. I would log in and look about when I needed a paper fix. I hope that with us at a turning point I will be able to be more present again.
Thanks!
Chris

Thumbs up

There is a rush, along the Fulham Road, so we can all passionately pay.
Good to see you back.

This is good news Chris.

I'd be grateful if you would explain how we set up an account. As you well know from all the times in the past when you have had to help me out, I am not always good with such things, and I cannot figure out how to set up a new account and password. I have my eye on that Marek 1/33 P-63A.

Perhaps this would be helpful to others as well, so I am asking here rather than in a PM or email.

Many thanks to you and the ECardmodels team for taking all the time and effort to get the site back up and running.

Keep 'em flying!

Don
