FASTBACK340 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 There's a warm, reassuring sensation when you hit the submit button when ordering from The Modelhaus. I know in a few weeks I'm going to come home and find a package of some of the most awesome model parts money can buy waiting for me...... Bound to make any day better!
Ramfins59 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 You got that absolutely right John. It's always a real treat when any of Modelhaus' products arrive.
von Zipper Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I agree with you too, I sent in an order 4 weeks ago for the usual things like bumpers, grills and replacement tail lights but this time I splurged on one of their cool Shasta campers. So- some time in the near future I'll be doing the Happy Dance right along with you !!
george 53 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I don't think I've EVER waited more'n a week for my stuff! MAYBE 10 days, but no more. Modelhaus is ON THE BALL!!!
KingSix Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I've never "needed" anything from there, but I've heard nothing but great comments about his stuff. I wish he'd post pics of his stuff tho. If he'd do that 4 door Coronet he was talking about years ago, I'd probably jump on that ..
Rob Hall Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 4-6 is the norm... it seems every month I get a box from them, either one of the little boxes with resto parts, or a larger box w/ a resin kit. Been a happy customer going on 20 years now.

Dan, I've seen his display at NNL East and met Don, Carol, and their assistant (whose name escapes me at the moment) personally. Three of absolutely the nicest, most reputable, honest people you will ever meet. Their products are good. And that Coronet 4-door is awesome. I plan to get one myself at some point. Go ahead and order, and please accept my word that you will not in any way, shape or form, be disappointed. Charlie Larkin
FASTBACK340 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Norm Veber (Replicas & Minatures) and Don Holthaus: If either of these Gentlemen have an item for sale you'd like to own, just pay. Without a doubt you will never be disappointed. And this isn't last-weeks opinion. Like Robert said, going on 20+ years..... Just ordered all the chrome & lenses for one of my resin `68 Barracuda's in my stash. A few years ago at NNL East someone was selling nice resin re-pops of the `68 Promo body for some ridiculous price like $20 each. I bought the remaining three he had. Time to dig out the MCW Turquoise and find those drag radials I bought last winter......

Both gentlemen are already selling product at full capacity, so they don't need it!
dimaxion Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 The 4 dr . '68 Cornet was not done by Modelhaus as R&R offered one . He will not willingly direct compete . Especially with those he knows and are Pioneers like themselves . This is IMHO from the conversations I shared with these fine people . Why should this come to pass as there are so many other subjects sellable still not done in this Hobby ? I've done business with Resin Casters since the early (Pioneer) days . There are threads and positive comments about who's who's in this Hobby Segment constantly . Norm Veeber , Don & Carol , Dick Dodge , and many others deserving the high marks given to them without failure . These folks are Modelers and treat customers as they would like to be treated . There needs to be more of this in the world , IMHO. Thanx ..
von Zipper Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Received my order today in the mail, besides bumpers/grills and tail lights for some other projects, got one of their Shasta campers
FASTBACK340 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Trailer looks good! Still waiting for my goodies.....
mikemodeler Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Received my order today in the mail, besides bumpers/grills and tail lights for some other projects, got one of their Shasta campers That does it, I am ordering one of those camper kits as a birthday present to myself! That is one sweet looking model, hard to believe it is resin!
Rob Hall Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 That trailer looks really nice...so the body is one piece? I just got a Modelhaus order a couple days ago...the '67 Thunderbird Landau 4dr...a couple sets of redline tires, some white wall tires, and some hubcaps for other projects.
von Zipper Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 YES-the trailer body is one piece, the floor and chassis are a separate piece. The body snaps on and off the chassis like a glove. There is no interior but I am sure an ambitious modeler could build and detail the inside. I took a few pictures of the body and chassis separated but can't post pictures right now for some reason ???
Rob Hall Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm thinking of getting one...I'd have to rustle up a hitch for a car...thinking of getting a Modelhaus '57 Plymouth wagon or '59 Ford wagon to tow it..
Tom Geiger Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 YES-the trailer body is one piece, the floor and chassis are a separate piece. The body snaps on and off the chassis like a glove. There is no interior but I am sure an ambitious modeler could build and detail the inside. That's a lot of fun to do. I started my van body camper as a slammer but was encouraged to try an interior. Using basswood and Evergreen sheet I managed to create nearly everything. The key is that it's all straight lines!
Greg Cullinan Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I ordered a couple weeks ago. I went with the Shasta trailer. I like yours too. It's on my list with the tear drop now.
ToyLvr Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I bought the Modelhaus '67 Corvair 4-Door conversion kit from one of their dealers at the Circle City (Indy) show a few weeks ago. With a little minor alteration, I'll finally be able to build a replica of my '65 Vair (as pictured in my Avatar). Like everyone's been saying, it's quality stuff....
KingSix Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Please tell me it has the little "wings" that go on the back of the trailer ? That does look really nice tho ..
Rob Hall Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Please tell me it has the little "wings" that go on the back of the trailer ? That does look really nice tho .. Looks like they are chromed and in the bag of parts in the 2nd photo.
Rob Hall Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Googling 'Modelhaus Shasta' turns up a bunch of pics of builtups...looks pretty cool..
chevyfever2009 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Received my order today in the mail, besides bumpers/grills and tail lights for some other projects, got one of their Shasta campers What s the price on the trailer
von Zipper Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 The trailer is listed on Modelhaus site in the Miscellaneous section for $68.00
von Zipper Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Sorry about making multiple posts but I'm having a hard time posting pictures-Don't really know how I got the last one to show up- One thing that is needed to make the Shasta correct is the louvered windows
