Update

A lot of you may be wondering what happened last night and why the sudden closure of everything. Long story short, I proposed the idea of selling models individually via Patreon's shop, so users don't have to keep subscribing then unsubscribing every time there's a release. Some people liked it and some people hated it, and it all got a bit too much for me last night.
I want to apologize for the flip-flopping around. Had the night to think it over and come to the decision that Patreon will remain open, with behind the scenes on models, videos, projects etc. Any future releases will go on the Patreon shop, but MMW will still remain closed.
After making near enough over 1000+ models, spending about 7 years to perfect the craft, I can no longer justify public releases to users who whine and complain about every little consistency. If you want the model yourself, it's available for a fee. One time purchase. No subscription.
And don't worry. We're not talking outrageous prices like £100 for a Sonny update. The most they will be is, at the highest £30, depending on how many additions there are to a model; i.e. liveries, submeshes, faces etc.
As MiscMischeif48 put it, "We modellers deserve much more than y'all gimme pigs crying up a storm when you don't get top quality content for free on top of all the other free content you already have."
For now, I'm taking some time off to rest and compile my thoughts. Love all of you, have a blessed Friday.

Very fair response and level headed. Please take all the time you need, and I aplogize if I've ever put a drop in the ocean of unreasonable responses you've gotten like that. You deserve to have a take to how much you give, and the store is a great idea. I'll certainly look forward to that, and wishing you and your mental health all the best. Take care Mainland, and thank you for all you do!
