The building that started it all. well, almost. actually there were two freelace models that i made just to see if paper models were even possible.
The jefferson ice Co, The real building was torn down. this was our first real seller and the kit that set the bar for what a kit had to be to make the cut. I don't know why but it's wierd to know its gone. Guess I'm glad that we were able to preserve it. thats kind of cool,

We are getting good feedback but can still use more. Some are concerned that if we cut the number of textures, we will cut somthing they need. No worries. I'm sure that what we keep will be the best and the cuts will make room for new textures.
Sticky vs nonsticky. So far knowone really cares if we keep the sticky so at some point in the near future that will be going away. probably when stocks run out.
Thanks again. keep writing to us.

This sounds like a public TV subscription drive but we really need you to respond.If you have always wanted to let us know what you think but haven't now is the time. we are reworking all of our products and this is your chance to have a real impact on what kind of materials are developed and made available.
Big changes are coming. Don't be silent and then say later "oh why did they do that?"
Big change No 1. we are cutting the number of textures in the library from 60 to 20. What do you want to see stay? Go? Add?
Big change No.2 This is real tough Some folks don't like the peel and stick, some love it. What do you think? The price of the paper stock is going up and frankly its a pain in the ass to print, Unless a significant number of users speak up to the contrary, future textures will be printed on the same high quality card stock as the kits. This will allow us to keep the price where it is,$3.00 a sheet, for another year.
Big change No.3 Laser cutting the kits or partial laser cutting.
the cost of cutting a sheet of paper on a laser is at least $1 a sheet. that means a 10 sheet kit which now sells for $29.95 will likely go up to $39.95. Do YOU want this?
Big change No.4 Laser cut window and door sets. We are making these but there are a lot of styles of windows and doors. what do YOU want?
S scale and N scale are marginal markets. Should we continue to support them?
Everything we are looking at leads to one goal. a better line of products that can be delivered faster.
So thisis your chance to have an impact on your hobby. just send us an email or reply by clicking the add comment button.

We want to welcome "the Railcar" in New South Wales to our dealer family. Our hope is that by working with them we can get supplies into our down under mates hands quicker and without the heavy postage.Visit their fine store site here

The rising cost of postage continues to be a problrm. We try to hold the line on cost but our societies addiction to petrolium based products keeps pushing the cost of doing business up.
