Truck modeler Kevin Presley suggested that I make a Mack Model H, the 50's version. Stripped apart a Ulrich Mack Cab over I bought when I was 13 and volla! I'll start the mold make process this weekend.

That's what modeling is all about! One of these days we need to sort out your model listing to actually know what's available.

Christian:
In all I have created roughly 120 1/87 masters. I currently produce about 80 models and have about 20 projects still being developed.
Most of the first and second generation models are no longer available, however they are being recreated via the new master process using Hydroshrink.
I sell about 60 models a week via EBAY, my seller ID. is "Superba". This past year I have received over 650 positive feedback ratings.
For anyone interested, please beware that the models I produce are crude and require significant effort to complete, but balanced against the fact that the majority of the subjects I model will never be available in 1/87, for approximately $8.00 a model its a pretty good deal.
Thanks to message board members Sylvain, Jerry, Dave Johnson, Ed Bullman, Bill C., Steve in New England and Bjarte for all the past encouragment.
To the one message board poster who is not happy with me.....oh well, I can't please everybody, I am a cottage industry producer not Athearn or Atlas. It's very hard for me to take large orders. My ebay auctions are very clear that the models do not meet the standards of high volume manufacturer.
I will post a current listing ASAP

Thanks Joe, and a distinct thank you for your ongoing work.
You say it yourself, some of your models are crude, but anyone who calls himself a modeler should be able to build them up with decent results. We are quite lucky that you have the patience and the willingness to create and share these models in a variety that is simply staggering.
