Model Forum / General / Models / February 2008Well...
I guess that's it for Meteor Productions. Can't even get onto the site to place an order today. I hope they're just restructuring, and not really gone...I hope.

There has to be more to this than we know. The logistic's of shutting down a company of this size is considerable. What about inventory etc.? I only hope that since it was so sudden, that it wasn't something medical for a family member. We all loved this company and it's service to us, and only hope for the best, for them, and us. mike > I guess that's it for Meteor Productions.

I'd been to his former location (huge place),but never did get around to this one. Guess I'd better go support one of my local shops before it's too late! Many years ago, I got their catalog & seemed like every time I ordered something from them, it was out of stock or they no longer carried it or something. I finally decided their catalog was like VLS', a 'wish book'. I wished they had the stuff in stock that they listed in the catalog. I just never paid that much attention to them for the most part. However, IIRC, they did do some Corsair decals that I got, tho not directly from them. > I guess that's it for Meteor Productions. Can't even get onto the site > to place an order today.

Don't want to build another without those. http://www.meteorprod.com/ message on there now > http://www.meteorprod.com/ > > message on there now Yeah...I saw that.

So what he's gonna sit on all the research, artwork and masters? The leftover inventory? He going to store it? Throw it out? Quitting but not because of anything to do with the hobby industry? After all the help us pick and/or design our next resin, decals. etc products. He doesn't look as of he is ill in the video or worried about someone close to him and he says he's going on to other projects. Frankly it does not make a lot of sense. Maybe I'm just the suspicious type. People don't generally walk away from something that is successful.

Either there's an issue in his personal life, he's just plain made enough money and wants to retire and just build models, or some sort of restructuring is going on. ...I'd never seen a picture of him either, and was surprised at how young he is. Signature- Rufus I met him in his store once years ago.He looks younger now! I also heard that he'll get rid of remaining stock on evil-bay... > ...I'd never seen a picture of him either, and was surprised at how > young he is.

Yeah that was a surprise. I have a book I bought years ago written by Dave the one on color matching ehich matches periods, countries and arm of service with correct color matches, usually given in FS with caveats for adjustments. It has long sections on color systems, matches, etc that seems very well researched. I did not imagine a young man had written it, to much detail that would require a good deal of time to acquire and collate. It is my go to for almost everything. Frank >>>>> http://www.meteorprod.com/ >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > Frank Yeah - I have that one too. Between that and my -595 color chips that's about got the whole of everything covered. Fantastic reference! Signature- Rufus |
