New textures

We have recently been asked to offer a couple of new textures that would be similar to what our respected competitor, Paper Creek offers.   Specifically the tar papers.  We have until now, purposefully, stayed away from doing so.  We respect their product and want it to continue.  To be straight forward, we have seen several new competitors in the paper model world, even Walther’s.  Most of them don’t make a product that we feel reflects the quality image that we are trying to establish with our careful attention to image quality and design.  Paper Creek has made great kits until their recent suspension of business.  We sincerely hope they return to the market.  We have made an effort to approach them to see if there is a way we could help to keep their product available but have received no reply.
Long story short, we have added several new textures, specifically roofing materials, that are similar to what is no longer available from PC.  We will also be offering western style buildings to fill out a line begun by our western store.
We feel this is a fair action and hope you all will agree.  Let us know your thoughts.
