Model Express closing

18 October 2012 - 12:38 PM

From their website:

Some of you might have heard that we will be closing our doors at the end of the year. It’s been a great 20 years in an exciting industry but I will be moving on to something new in 2013.

We have had many milestones over the years. We have shipped to every continent including Antarctica and as far north as North Pole, AK. The 60+ countries and many different cultures have kept the job (it was too much fun to be called a job) very interesting, even on the days when folks couldn’t quite understand the time zones involved and I would get calls in the middle of the night (we’re in the Pacific Time Zone). I enjoyed picking up snippets of many different languages (hej, terve, ciao, oi, hallo, kia ora, g’day) and getting corrected on my translated grammar. I even held onto my very first customer (Gerry Chevalier of Mini-Exotics) who showed me the inner workings of running a model/hobby business.

There are many special customers who I have corresponded with (phone, email, fax) and have enjoyed hearing of their home, job, and family situations as the years went by; kids growing up, career changes, moves to different parts of the country and so on.

I have begun the process of discounting my inventory and hopefully you will take advantage of the reduced pricing and get what you need before the items sell out completely.

God bless,
Dennis Krahn
