We are creating an Organic forum :D

 

Does this mean I’m not wanted here, and have to uproot to a different section ?  :(

Wingnuts ....wasn't that Peter Jackson's model company........they just went bust didn't they.

Closed down in March, it looks like. 

Wingnuts was/is Peters outfit and yes he pulled the plug on them. Apparently no reason has been given and he ran it as a neutral profit organisation...

Suggestion being he possibly overstretched it by indulging in to many massive projects at once, 1/32 Lancs (x2) and a number of large and unusual WW1 bombers. 

Rather than concentrate on popular smaller projects like Se5s and Nieuports etc

Mengs new Fokker is a Wingnuts kit.

Never been brave enough to tackle one, didn't fancy the rigging.

Oh well. Maybe someone will pick them up. 

Listened to a few reports on the wingnuts thing from former employees....they are very doubtful that Peter will sell on the moulds, apparently they're his toys and he'll keep them..... How Meng has moulds for the Fokker I don't know, I presume Meng might have been doing the moulding for them when it all went sour. 

They had invested something like 10-12yrs work on the Lancasters and had been almost ready to go into full production.. Speaking of Lancs, rumour is he has at least one and possibly more full size Lancaster replicas somewhere that had been made for the film of the Dambusters he was going to do...

Still someone is bound to do the likes of an SE5 and a Camel etc, apparently Copper State is supposed to be very very good at this sort of thing and now WN has gone the gap is there to be filled.

I understand he stopped going ahead on the Dambusters movie when he was told he’d have to change Gibson’s dogs name. 
Not sure if that’s true, or not.
