Model Builder's Warehouse??

I may be late to the game....what happened to MBW?

That's a good question.  Supply chain  issues?  The website is gone.

The site was still up not too long ago, but not open for business, and with a message saying he was reworking things and would reopen soon.

I certainly hope he's not gone for good, as his products and service were always 100%.

That type of site is what we need. I like one-stop shopping. There was a great site, Scale Dreams where I could get almost anything I wanted.

When I saw Randy at a contest here, in October, he told me he was shutting down. He said that he just didn't feel it was worth the time and effort, any more. I tried to buy a set of Chaparral wheels from him. He told me to just take them. Anyway, it sounds like he may have done just that, unfortunately.

Does anyone know further info on this? Or maybe has heard from Randy since? All input welcome!

Are you the Mad Mike whose beautiful engines Randy was selling?

He old me he was shutting it down. He stuck his head in here, a couple of weeks ago, and commented on a few threads. I think he was just kind of burned out on running it, and he wasn't feeling it was worth the time and effort it took. I hope he'll find some time to get some work done on that Birdcage Maserati. That thing is stunning!

Not what i wanted to hear. Randy ran a good shop. He deserves time for himself and family. I did have some wants from his engine line though.

I saw him, here, at a contest/show, in October. That's when we spoke. I tried to buy a set of Chaparral wheels from him, but, he wouldn't let me pay for them.

Yeah, that would be me

Since Randy seems no longer in business I might need to find another retailer in the US... does anyone have any suggestions?
