Sad news .. we gave Allen too much support by buying his cool Star Wars Kits. In his last newsletter he had to announce that:
On July 20, 2009, Fantastic Plastic received a “Cease & Desist” order from Lucas Film demanding the removal of all unlicensed products from our Website. In compliance, we have retired all “Star Wars”-related kits to the Virtual Museum Store “Hall of Fame.” We will no longer market or sell these or any other kits that fall under Lucas Film’s jurisdiction. If you have any questions about this situation, please feel free to write us at fantasticplast@aol.com.

I do encourage everyone who has had an interest in the Fantastic Plastic Kits to have a look at the other kits available. I especially like the current release “Bubble Fighter” in 1:48 scale but currently can not afford any more kits … the next post shows why.
Since I was a small boy I had FischerTechnik at home. FisherTechnik is a construction toy like Meccano (well known in the UK) or the old “Maerklin Metal” construction kits. So over the years I accumulated quite some of this stuff. Some month ago I found out that one of my neighbours is collecting and, more important, activly using Fischer Technik. Been over there a couple of times and today went to a meeting of the Fischer Technik Club Nederlands with him down in the area of Rotterdam.
Hi Folks, currently we are at the “Actionfigurado” in Duiven. It is mainly about military actionfigures and acessories, but some nice modelling can be seen here as well. Later on I will publish some pictures.
I bid all you visitors a happy new year and may all your wished come true.
The new year is the perfect moment to launch my new blog about modelling. I am not limited to a single scale or topic so you will find lots of different topics, scales and techniques here. Be prepared for anything from bikes and cars over model railways and tabletop war gaming.
Please enjoy the time you spend on my blog and visit the other blogs and sites I have linked.
Cheers for now …
Klaus “scotty” Weitzel
