Well, between it being nearly impossible to find a GOOD painter willing to tackle my shapes, me spending a year and a half trying (unsuccessfully) to do a pro finish myself, the hammering inflation, and having an internet only business model of high end niche shapes - Yavcon is again on hiatus. Equipment is in storage, but not permanently out of reach. Circumstances will decide its fate.
Thanks and respect to all who supported this dream of mine.
She is fickle mistress.
