Personal Update


Recommended Posts

Many of you have been emailing asking how I've been doing...in a word, fine. I appreciate all the emails and concerns. Diecast consulting has dried up this year with no consults since December. The Toy industry on a whole is down. I did take on a PT job with a place I worked at 30 years ago, S&W Race Cars. It' really been a lot of fun and just this week I accepted a FT slot. This being said, I'm still going forward with my own product line called, "Scale Accents". These will be limited runs of model displays for diecast or plastic cars. in 1:24th scale (larger scales later). I just recently rec'd pics of my prototype that is currently in development. This is Esler's Garage. It will be limited to 125 pcs. For a first shot it's coming along nicely. This will be 23"L x 10"W x 10"D. Two figures will be included and it does light up under the canopy. I'm also hoping to keep the price reasonable around a "C" note. It will fit 3 cars. I am taking reservations for this now. No deposit is required to get one reserved. A second project wil be the Speed Shop I worked at.

On another front, my website is cooking along and hope to have the final maintenace done and pics uploaded. I have no clue what to do so I have someone doing it for me.

I've had a lot of encouragement from my wife and friends and things are finally starting to take shape. If you'd like to see the website: gsbdesignconcepts.com

If you'd like to see S&W go to: swracecars.com

It's been a busy and hectic few months and it's starting to all fall in place. With the job, at least I don't have to rely on my product as my sole source of income. Thanks again for the emails and PMs!

This is great news George.I actually learned about your new endeavors from Tom B. a couple weeks ago at the Sept. Showdown. I've briefly checked out your website,,,,I'll read the whole thing later.

I'll email you to CONFIRM that I want one of the garages. I assume they will come all finished and detail painted.

I'm still trying to figures out which two fat-assed car modellers you sculpted for the figures :lol:

You know I wish you the best of luck on all of your ventures.

Yes, these will be complete. Pretty much open the box, assemble the large pieces and canopy, add batteries and switch on the lights. You do catch on grasshopper...the seated guy is Rich Esler, owner of the real station and the talkative guy is my neighbor Bill. I am in need of action figures for future projects and you will be getting a call. Should my people get in touch with your people?
