Lion Models is still activ!!! I receved several Models last month. The Stutz inclusiv. A verry long thing indeed. The kits are handmade, and it needs some time to get it. But the models are verry unique and one of my favorites. BS Design has the Pullmans still in the catalog.

The Austin 7 was the Original! The german BMW Dixi and the french Rosengard are licensed by Austin. Same size and technic but left steared and with country tipical trim like colors and interior designs. Great car for that time! Brekinas Dixi looks verry smal, but this car was realy not a giant.

Of the original Pullman are 3 versions avajable:4-door, 4-door laundalet and the 6-door. Wiking is just a 600 ; Pullman means streched. And please a Wiking 600 is realy collectible and in mint condition much more worth than a bs.Design kit!

Of corse, i understand, that you have to keep some secrets. And we need some mistery they go around in our hobby. This days i got my first Ricko. Theres no distributor for Switzerland since Roco has some problems. (Help, we are Ricko-dry land!) The Horch is looks like it is: Royal!! Has Bob Lutz something to doo with the GM licensing problems? Hi maybee understand our collectors need for GM Models if someone tells it to him in his motherlanguage. I will thank you and all the great workers of Ricko, that you are part of those who bring us so much joy. The hobby is dieing? Thanks Ricko, not yet!

My favorit is a scalpell. I asked my doctor for one and he gave me 10! He now is my personal scalpell-blades dealer. This blades are verry sharp and i found it in interessting variations. Have you ever seen the tools of your dentist? I like it! Ask him vor old drillers (borer) too!! He also has a verry good stuff for negative moulds with complicated shapes. Its realy expensive, but maybe, he has a little rest left for you. Try to have a goldsmith on your fishing-rod. In metallworking is he the king, and he has the best tools for it.
