Updating our eBay shop today and things might look a little confusing for the next day or so. eBay takes a while to update images like logos and banners and then sort all the listings into their new categories. You should soon see a whole new look to the store and all items will be listed under their category by scale and or type of model. Please excuse the mess while eBay updates all the changes.

Also, we're coming up on our 1st anniversary of selling via eBay. Be on the lookout for a huge sale in November!

Still working heavily on this complicated architectural design so no new update on the latest trailer designs, but i did manage to update our intermodal sample pack to add the 45' trailer and shipping container. Pack contains one each: 20' trailer amd box, 40' trailers and box, 45' trailer amd box, and the 53' trailer and box. These are now available in our eBay shop.

We have power back! We're so lucky that the worst was some water into the garage and power outage. We're hoping the remaining folks going in the dark get their power back soon!

We'll be curing models tonight and seeing how much can be ready for shipping out tomorrow, but not going to rush things just because we're excited to have the lights back on. A little clean up to do around the shop, but otherwise we're turning the key on getting back to work.

An update from our shop on the hurricane and our cleanup:

All orders were printed before the hurricane took out our power.

We did get all orders cleaned after we lost power.

Several orders require UV curing still, but we don't have power at this time.

We will get all orders through the cure process as soon as electricity returns.

The orders that are ready to ship, will go to the post office Monday or Tuesday, pending post office availability.

We sincerely apologize for any delay in your orders and thank everyone for their patience as we recover from tbe hurricane. Our shop had some water intrusion, but no major damage and nothing discovered at this time to prevent us from returning to service as soon as the power comes back on.

Again, thank you to everyone for your understanding and patience as we work to get back in business.

Filling orders in hurricane conditions! Last prints of the weekend are finished. We'll see how the rest of this storm goes, but hanging in there so far!

Pushed as far as I could this week, but we have a hurricane about to hit us right on the nose. We have prep to do for the storm so the shop has to temporarily shift focus to that and pause all model work. Im sure we'll do fine and might get some model painting done. We'll see how it goes...

Processing several orders this week and working on some commission design work on the PC. Taking a mental break to review everything under design and sort through the endless design ideas for what's next. We have 23 projects going to market over the following weeks. I'm not kidding when I say I have some 50 different designs already started. Trailers, trucks, train cars, heavy equipment, cars/trucks/vans, aircraft, boats/ships, buildings/details, and sci-fi... even plans on turning the flatbed truck into a zombie apocalypse gun truck kit because I'm just weird like that!

Maybe some feedback from followers will help bring the next design to reality....

What would you like to see designed and produced?
Maybe another trailer type?
Maybe another truck or semi tractor?
Farm equipment?
Construction equipment?

Comment below to be heard and if I can figure out how to run a poll, I'll gather ideas and one of the next designs could be chosen by our valued followers and fans!

Update on the crane truck diamond plated battery boxes: the support pads are driving me crazy... just not good enough for VALT's standards.

I know, I know... to quote an amazing longtime friend and modeler: "but how much of that detail will you actually see in the end?"

I find nothing wrong with that question, but if you know me, you know i always have an answer and even when I don't!

To me, details are like camouflage. Camouflage breaks up the hard lines and silhouettes. Your eyes decipher what they see and tell your brain there's something there. The more detail, the more definition, the more saturation you get at smaller scales. That's what makes our tiniest models feel like they're bigger than their scale. The penny photo will be required for this build as people thought the HO scale Peterbilt kit was 1:24 scale! Not every modeler will be drawn to this and that's OK! However, if you want a model with way too much detail and too much to look at, then this crane truck kit is for you! After I get rid of the dang support problem on that diamond plate!!!

I'm not designing models to get rich. I'm designing them because (I've lost my mind) modelers should have high quality options at affordable prices.

Quick update on the 53' trailer kits. They fit comfortably behind VALT's cabs, so they should also fit behind other brands. The kingpin is long to cover multiple brands, but needs to be trimmed down about 50% to mate to our cabs. More detailed and painted pictures will come along soon. The new kits should be available somewhere in the next 2 weeks or so, as long as they pass full build and painting.
