I've just added a new range of products to the Flying Pig website. The Tamiya RoboCraft models are mechanical projects that you screw and clip together. The four different designs all use electric motors and clever mechanism to move in a variety of ways. Check out the models here. They can be shipped anywhere in the world for the usual Flying Pig flat fee of only £2.95 per order.

Fun!

The Flying Pig website, home of printed paper animations that can be delivered anywhere in the world, has been offline for a couple of days while I've been transferring the files from one service provider to another. I'm delighted to say that it is now back on line.

Pop along and order some printed kits - they make great gifts for old and young alike!

A nice new cover for the book Amazing Paper Pets. Six models to pop out and glue together by yours truly. It is available from Amazon here.

You can still buy the original from the Flying Pig website here if you are after the complete set.

Enough dithering. I've finally taken the plunge and switched the servers to the new flying-pig website. From where I'm sitting it looks like it is working. There are still a few products that need to be added but overall I'm really pleased with the finished result. I hope you like it too!

I've done a fair bit of work on the new version of the Flying Pig web site over the past couple of days. The database is all there, I've added lots of products and the products now display nicely both as a grid view and on their individual pages.  

Looking at it now, I think I need to go back and do the same with this website!

You can follow progress at the paperrobot.net website. The shop works, you can place orders if you wish.

I'll be spending a couple of days completing the conversion of the Flying Pig web site to a new database driven site. 

It has got to the point, with the current site, where adding new stuff is really hard. I have to add links to all the existing pages individually then check that all the pages are working correctly. It just gets more and more tangled! By running the web site from a database I can add pages and the links are all added automatically.

There is a fair bit of work getting the site started but once it is up and running, maintenance is much easier. You can follow progress at www.paperrobot.net Once it is all compete, I'll update the name tags and it'll be back to being www.flying-pig.co.uk.

The shop is fully working so if you want to order the printed kits please do!
