Thank you Rasputen

After wrapping up my Bronco and Matador and adding glass to a couple of other previous builds, I wanted to give our @Rasputen a shout out for the awesome thing he's doing by making these available.

They, quite reasonably, fill a huge void for us 70s modelers.

I've opted for 40s and 50s models myself, but very happy with the selection at Rasputen Motors.

And, where else on earth, would my N scale fire department have found American LaFrance 700 pumper trucks?

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Sure, all that's fine.  But you left out the part where he's just a really nice guy!

I love the tan van... Shag carpet in the back, smells like stale beer, pot, and pregnancy scares.

Thank you for the compliments!  I do also have a 68-72 Chevy Nova hatchback available which is not shown in my product listing yet.   Plus, I have a 72 Dodge Monaco that is coming along nicely.  I must admit I get discouraged when I see Showcase Miniatures / MAC introduce something that I have a lot of hours invested in, but mine isn't quite ready yet, or that I already offer.  I wish they would drop me a hint so I can simply scrap anything that they are also working on.  I've got all kinds of 70s and 80s vehicles waiting for me to shrink down, like a Reliant/Aries wagon that a certain individual was asking for.

Don’t get discouraged, @Rasputen !  Keep the models coming; your models are top-notch and are a great value!  I’m especially thankful for an earlier thread you posted on how to decorate them; your hints have been critical to bringing out their amazing details!

Sincerely,

Jim

It's the Vollmer house. It came from @Dave V so he'll have to say.

Atlas kit. You can get those built-up also, but mine was a kit.

And if those other companies match the products you make, they certainly don't come close to matching your prices!!! :o
