IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL AK INTERACTIVE PAINTS USERS

Post by PhildaFish »

Just read this on Mig Jiminez and Elizabeth Wiese's Facebook pages:

"I'm Darius T. Cerver, owner of the paint factory that has manufactured the paint products for the company AK Interactive for distribution under its label. With this statement, I want to inform all modelers that from this day forward, we stop completely any collaboration with AK Interactive and our paints will no longer be distributed by this company. The various recent events and statements made public by the company worldwide, have forced me to make this announcement using the same media platform. It is therefore my intention to report that our entire paint range, including oils, pigments, and acrylics, will immediately no longer be distributed by AK Interactive. Soon we will announce the company with whom we will work in the future. It is our hope and expectation to have your support in this new era.

Thank you very much for your time and attention and we wish the best to AK.

Be sure that I will update you shortly."

It sounds to me like Mig will be starting another company and releasing all the AK range under a new name, unless I'm reading it wrong.

We can only hope, this way we can use excellent 'AK' products without guilt. Under their new name. MIG products anyone?

I wonder who Mig will hook up with this time? Hopefully it will be someone who shares his passion for the modelling community and with the same desire to get the best products out there onto the market. Can anyone think of a company like that? :think:

If he does start up a new company he should do an intro like "Hi my name is Mig Jiminez, you might remember me from such movies as Mig Productions and AK Interactive dvd's. But now I'm here to tell you all that Product acme is much better than all that has come before". Sorry could not resist.

An interesting development. ..... i just got a mail from my go to Web shop were i ordered 4 bottles of primers witch he couldn't deliver because he was out of stock. Then he told me to wait until end of next week because something was going to happen and good comes to those who wait..... More could he not tell me because he has an obligation to keep his mouth shut.


So more to this story........
