mytricia Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I, LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DON'T WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF ODERING MODEL STUFF ON THE INTERNET. WELL, I ORDERED <2 separate orders> A COUPLE OF RESIN KITS AND 1 REGULAR KIT <r&r resins> FROM STEVE AT STAR MODELS. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. TRUE TO HIS WORD. I AGREE, IT'S NICE TO TELL PEOPLE OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH A VENDOR IT'S ALSO NICE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE. STEVE, I'LL DEFINITELY BE BUYING MORE BECAUSE OF COOL PRODUCT AND GOOD SERVICE. THANKS AGAIN MARTY-"mytricia"-DECATUR , AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Bastedo Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I agree, I've dealt with him several times with no problems what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Steve Kohler over at Star Models is a GREAT vendor, and a nice guy ta boot! He'll even tell ya if the kits gonna be hard ta build or not.He's a straight up GREAT guy! He deserves recognition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I think that all hobby vendors should steal a page or two from Steve. His prompt service and professionalism combined with his extensive kit and product line always keeps me coming back. I'd wholeheartedly reccomend STAR Models to anyone.

dimaxion Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) I must add to the accalodes for Steve Kohler . I bought a kit from him . The body has issues that are smalland tricky to fix . Fintip missing due to air bubble is one of them . And a couple of more small issues . I notified him , a new body arrived Post Haste . Unfortunatly a carbon copy of the first body . One of the three purchase need corrected . I will work on these . I was able to make it acceptable . Not quite what I had expected . I will just consider this Caster's work for future decisions . I can fix and work with Imperfection . Some issues are just more complicated . Some are Impossible . I did another purchase from Steve since I posted this originally . Two models from the same caster . One is perfect , the other , not so much . I did not contact Steve . I would think he takes me as a rippoff ! I am indefinably not buying from this particular caster again . "Bitten by a Dog the first time ; shame on the dog . Bitten by the same dog a second time ; shame on me . The third time and any beyond ; I'm a Masochistic !" None of this describes me . Thanx ..

rickcaps55 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yep I to have to add to this.I have been getting resin and plastic kits and HOC paints from him for over 6 years not a problem at all and yep he is a great guy to deal with.

High octane Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 While I've bought products from other casters, I have never done business with Star Models, so these testimonials are good to know, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 While I've bought products from other casters, I have never done business with Star Models, so these testimonials are good to know, thanks. Just to be clear, Nick, Steve doesn't cast his own parts- he sells stuff by Flintstone, R&R, Hendrix and Aardvark. In additon he sells Model Car Garage and Parts by Parks items, along with his own line of Star Scoops and a pretty good selection of plastic kits.

Elliot949 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have known Steve for close to 20 years... I have bought from him at shows.. I have bought from him on the internet and I have had him attend Swap/Contest that I was the promoter of... Steve is what all cottage industries should model themselfs after... between Steve Kohler, Don Holthaus and Kenny at Bandit Resins are the perfect cottage industry businesses... This of course is just my opinion... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exnyman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Gotta give my Kudos to Steve as well. Fast delivery, exceptional communication and he even notified me when a kit I wanted wasn't in stock, then notified me when it was to see if I still wanted it. If all businesses were this customer oriented, dealing with them wouldn't be the hassle it has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Chuck, I thought so when I checked out his site and didn't think that he had done any of the casting himself. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Also gonna throw my support for Steve. I live in Omaha, not too far from him, and Ive talked to him in person multiple times, and bought and sold kits with him. GREAT guy. Superbly knowledgable and truly dedicated to the model car hobby. Ive made him a new sign for his show booth, and feel like Ive made a friend for life in the model car world. Cant go wrong with Steve and Eddie. Both really good guys.

carsntrucks4you Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I want to add my two cents. I'm living in Germany and dealing with Steve is no problem. He is a helpful guy, he gives you a reply on your questions. I also could recommend Norm Webber from RMoM. The only problem that I have with US based supplier in general is DHL here in Germany.
