Why is some content paid for?
Scale War Machines offers some exclusive premium multimedia content to its users to purchase, download & own.
This enables the website to keep making compelling, informative content for modelmakers. There's plenty of free content on offer on Scale War Machines for users but by buying one of our premium products you are actively helping to support us!
Making films is a very expensive process & we can only continue to do so if you support us by buying.
When I buy a video, how does it work?
1 - Add the video to your cart & follow the checkout process instructions, making sure you tick the terms & conditions. For transactions, you will be directed to the PayPal payment gateway for security & simplicity*.
*You can still pay using the gateway even without a PayPal account - the gateway accepts credit & debit cards too.
2 - Pay for your product.
3 - Complete your purchase.
4 - We will send you an email confirming the purchase. As soon as your funds have cleared you will be sent another email with instructions to download your files.
5 - To access your files, you log into your account (one will be created for you on payment if you are a new user). On your user account page go to 'files'. You have 7 days to download your files before they expire. Download them to your computer & then use the player of your choice to view.
6 - If you have any problems, contact us.
What format are the premium videos?
The video you purchase will be an MP4 HD video file encoded & optimised for a number of desktop & mobile media players. It will be delivered to you as an archived zip file bundled with additional information & a transcription. Most computers can already "unzip" files but if yours cannot, try a free unzipping tool like Zipeg. In general, you will need a PC or Mac to unzip the file instead of a mobile device.
How long will a file take to download?
The video you purchase will be optimised for download but HD files are large, it may take time to download. If your connection fails during download, you can resume later within the 7 day period.
Is there a limit on the number of times I can download my files?
Yes & there are also restrictions on the number of times a computer can be used to download the same files. You will be warned before you exceed these limits.
