Creative Miniature Associates. Are they still operating?

Is CMA the company formed by Marshall Buck to make high end models and kits of classic cars still running?

Their website appears to have simply vanished! I could only find a few references to them on auctioneers sites when CMA made models were being sold on by individuals.

Last time I looked on their website was some time ago when it was up and running, and Marshall was developing a super detailed Ford GT40 multi medium kit in 1/12th scale at the time. I do not know whether it ever made it to market or not, but it looked as though it had the makings of being the very best GT40 scale model kit judging by the photos shown of a large number of parts made in development.

I wonder if the prolific output by MFH kits has had an effect on CMA's market as there did not appear to be any clash in subject matter as far as I could see?

I would like to see the GT40 kit as well but I think the Chinese put out kits at 1/10 the cost of what his would have been.  Granted the CMA kit might be ten times better but I’m sure the quantity would be very limited.  The website is still there and you could try emailing Mr. Buck or send him a $10,000 deposit and he might build one for you. ?
