For those who model Fire/Rescue it looks as if we may get a break.
In the past Fred’s Models was notorious for poor service. He has opened a new web site (still under construction but very cool) and posted a lengthy apology and explaination for the poor customer service in the past.
The new name is Fire Rescue Models Network & Co. The site is www.frmnco.com
Hopefully we can finally fill the nitch that was left when 10-8 Hobbies went 10-7. I would love to see some resin conversions for the Trumpter ALF.
I have heard they are selling but have yet to hear any feed back from anyone on how the service is now that they claim to have fixed the problems from the past. I have tried contacting them through both emails listed on the site but both times got the emails kicked back to me. Almost seems more of the same old stuff.
There is a new resin caster that has just put up a site and has some interesting parts. It is located here - Grove Graphics . I have not used anything yet but he is supposed to be sending me some stuff to review for the web site.
It’s not auto related, but if you have not seen it yet, there is a outstanding looking FDNY figure that was just released as well. It is a bit pricey but from what I have been told, it is amazing. More on it here - 1/9 FDNY Firefighter
Thats a coupe of new things that have recently popped up so maybe it is a starting trend for emergency related models.
Yea his service still blows!!! As for people selling other bodies, hopefully someone else in here knows of something cuz Fred was the only one I ever went through for bodies.
