Model Express closing

[Tonioseven]

One of the best hobby shops around. I hate to see him close.

[W-409]

Yeah, I guess I have to move to Model Roundup. It looks very good, but still it's a shame that Model Express is closing-it will be missed.

That Model Empire USA looks good too, thanks. Never heard of it before.

I wonder if there's going to be a huge on everything.

[Draggon]

That really, uh, cant say it. Very sad, I've done a lot of business with Dennis and he is the best. I just bought 2 of the DTR 32 ford kits from him this week, at a bit over half the price they normally get.

So sad to see this store closing down Always great service and even better (if that's possible) prices. You will be sorely missed.

All the best in your next journey.

Might want to double check that Andy, the thread starter, Scott Fordham, posted the message from the Model Express website, and at the bottom of the message Dennis signed it.

I agree that another hobby outlet closing is not good, especially when they have built a reputation as being a great place to do business with.

Really too bad. Sorry to hear that Model Express is closing.

I think you have misunderstood. I started the thread and posted what was on the Model Express website. I have nothing to do with Model Express other than being a multiple, 100% satisfied customer that will miss them dearly like the rest of the hobby.

[scalenut]

thanks for clearing that up .. ok disregard

guess my bulk buying days are over.

[Tom Setzer]

I was very sorry to here this!

[Mr mopar]

Wow this is bad news, I personally know Dennis a super nice guy and he only lives 4-1/2 hour down the road. But I can see why this is

shipping from Canada is so expensive , and the model car and truck market is so soft and a lot of us guy's are getting older just don't have the time anymore or the health . Dennis my friend I hope what ever you do it works out for you and I'll see you at the car shows this summer .

I, like others in this thread, was very sorry to hear that Dennis was closing up shop. As a Canadian buying from the US can be difficult at times so having a mail order shop like Model Express in Canada with its excellent selection of kits at reasonable prices has been very fortunate for me. While I may have lots of Dennis's kits in my stash to build in the coming years I'll certainly miss his excellent service and the unusual kits that often showed up on his site.

I've delt with Dennis a couple of times, and always had positive results. I guess all good things must come to an end.

Anyway, I've heard good things about these guys:

This is terrible news and I'm saddened to hear it. I've been buying from Dennis for the last two years, in fact my first online buys for models were through him! The prices, selection of kits and shipping times were always great but most of all it was the customer service. He'd always answer random questions I had or hold on to an item here and there until my next pay. Wish him nothing but the best in his next venture in life!

[Mr mopar]

Hi guy's just got off the phone with Dennis , he said watch for a news letter on the Model Express web site next week or so .it will tell you all what is happening with Model Express .

[Jim B]

Hopefully someone will purchase it.

[Big Daddy]

YEH, Good news i hope

[PatW]

Well I've bought stuff from Dennis. He's always helpful although very far away! I must look at the site before we loose it altogether. All the best Dennis in your new venture whatever it may be!

[greymack]

I might buy his business for real.

[Big Daddy]

Well good luck to ya george, it will be nice if someone can keep it going
