Tony and I would often converse over months through through "snail mail" or the occasionally (Saturdays only) phone call.

​
He spent more than 55 years building and running Navwar, establishing himself as a highly respected figure, pioneer, and innovator in the miniatures community. He was also a true gentleman. Sadly he passed in 2024. The business is being carried on by his wife, who maintains the casting and production of his celebrated models. Do not be put-off by the old-school mail in ordering process. I have purchased hundreds if not a thousand of his ships over the years without a single issue.
