USCG Rescue Swimmer Patch and USCG Aviation Survival Tech (AST) Rate are now available. On another note, deadlines are available again, which is why these are done out of order. There’s a $10.00 fee per model and the deadline is not guaranteed, I only promise that I will try. That’s because I’m a one man show, and when I was doing deadlines before I missed some due to family medical issues. When you’re the whole thing and something goes wrong the schedule goes right out the window.

I did deadlines for a long time, but I stopped due to abuse. I had models sitting at number one in the queue that I could never get to due to the never ending rush jobs, and when someone tells me they have to have the model by the end of the week for a change of command ceremony or retirement then they wait two months to buy it I start to suspect that maybe they didn’t really need to jump the queue like that. So this is a probationary thing. I would prefer to be able to help people when they get a short notice order, and I’ve kept my queue mostly empty this year with very short lead times. But this month most requests were for multiple models and they came in on top of each other so I’m playing catch up again.

Speaking of requests for multiple models, for those who don’t already know, if you request multiple models, unless you tell me you want them some other way, I’ll make them all and upload them all at once. That’s why you see odd numbers like the two today, while three in the queue show done. There’s a fourth in the queue that’s mostly done that goes with the other three, they’ll all go up sometime this weekend.

Yeah, I just did this, but I’m doing it again.

Here’s the current queue. Note the ones that say done are ready for upload, I’m just waiting until I have that last one done to upload all at the same time since they were all requested by the same person. Most likely tomorrow.

I’m having one of those weeks where it’s tough to find time to model and the requests are coming in so I’m actually back in double digits in the queue again. Next week should be slower though so I should be able to fly through most of these.

A month ago I posted about clearing cache to get images to show. Since then, I found that wasn’t fixing the issue. I had a lot of trouble duplicating the problem, but eventually I got a browser to do it.

What I found was that for some reason, some browsers were no longer loading images from non-secure sites. Now there’s no actual sign ins or anything on my site, I don’t collect accounts or data or anything from my site, so that shouldn’t really matter. The pages where actual business is being conducted are hosted by fastspring and are fully secured, my pages are basically just an online catalog that link to their product pages. I do have all the required security certificates and everything, but a decade ago when I set up this site lots of people were having problems with their browsers handling the security certificates so I provided links without them. And that’s been fine until a month or so ago.

So here’s the quick and dirty test. If images are not loading, look at the left end of the address bar. If it says “Not secure”, put your cursor at the beginning of the address and add in “https://” then hit enter. That will switch you to the secure version of the site. You may need to refresh that page several times, but images will probably begin to show up. First buttons and icons, then the other images.

On the other hand, if it shows a lock icon, do the same except you’re going to switch to the unsecure version of the site by typing “http://”. Then refresh a few times and see if the images are showing.

Either way, if you’re having problems seeing the images on my site I would appreciate if you would let me know either using the contact form or by emailing me. Unfortunately communicating by facebook doesn’t seem like a good option anymore, I’m not getting any notifications from them now even though all settings are correct.
