Atlantic Scale models harbor masters front On30
New from Atlantic Scale Modelers is The Harbor Masters Office kit. This kit is the first in a series of small water-front structures inspired by Dave Frary. The structures small size of 5.5″ x 3.5″ will fit just about anywhere. The kit has a distinctive New England flavor but I think it could be adapted to any waterfront location.

Our laser was installed and up and running and with just a few days before a model railroad exhibition. Laurie produced a couple of sample products for fellow exhibitors to try.

We sampled a small set of O scale chairs and table, a window that worked and some shingle sheets as well as a great little sanding tool that we will supply with our first kit. These samples were received with gusto and were a huge success. We also had on display two prototype models of which we must choose one for our first release, a tough choice as both are great looking structures. To throw into the mix as well Laurie is current working on a new design which just might just come out the winner. The other boxes are picked, as with material suppliers and packaging. The web site is slowly growing in size and modelers from all over the world are signing up to our members section. Read the rest of this entry »
I just received an email from John Hunter of Outback Model Company. John has partnered up with Laurie Green to form this new craftsman kit manufacturer in Australia. John and Laurie are both very talented and accomplished modelers and have created some stunning work over the years.
John went on to say “Our web site is up and running, with a profile of Laurie and I, also some other areas all still under construction, with the first prototype model finished {built By Me} we are on track ,our laser cutter is in the country and will be delivered early Jan first to Laurie’s home for testing and correlation with his cad drawings and just to get him familiar with the operation , then the cutter will make the journey to me where production and packing will take place. We have designed and purchased our trade stand ,our uniforms are at the embroidery company and promotional flyers are being designed. Our online shop is not yet operational but set up, because we are not yet in production, we are currently waiting for our ABN number for tax purposes and we are planning some exiting stuff.”
I will post any new information when it becomes available. These guys are true O scale craftsmen and it will be interesting to see what they will have to offer.

Wild West Scale Models has anounced two new Kits for the O/On30 modeler. Frankes Furniture and coffin Shop and Dons Dry Goods.These exciting new kits really have a lot of character. These new kits as well as previous ones are created from genuine architectural designs.
The O Scale Rigging Shed is part of the Deer Creek Land & Timber Company. It features everything pictured except track, scenery, and vehicles. Loaded with that classic SierraWest feel, just take in all that wonderful junk and clutter on all four sides. New castings created especially for this kit are central to the storytelling theme. I make and cast my own details in resin and white metal for the utmost crispness, quality, originality, and value. Masters are made and castings selected from my vast library to tell a specific story. These are details you will only find in a SierraWest kit.
