Why Build Transportation Models?

Back, when we were starting out, we chose, in part, to build many of our models based on “things” we already had in a scale of 1:1 such as: Jeep; CCKW; M5A1 Tank; Bugatti 57c; Corsair; and Concordia Sloop Boat.  After all, what better reference than the real thing!  And why did we have all of these “things?”  Because “we’re guys.” And we think most guys, by their very nature, really truly enjoy the mechanical dimension that lies at the heart of what transportation is all about.  So, you could say that we build “guy’s” things.  And we say this with a smile, since we know many of you guys reading this are smiling as well. 

Over the past fifteen years, we have really come to realize and appreciate that men and women really are different.  We have personally delivered the majority of our models around the world, from Venice to Tokyo to Indonesia.  And, in most cases, our customer is a guy.  And, in most cases, he has a wife. And the three questions most asked by their wives, in every language, are:

“Why do you need it?”
“Where are you going to put it?”
“How much does it cost?”  

Please note, this is not a hard, steadfast rule, but it’s pretty close (that small percentage of women who don’t say this, really have an understanding of the detail that exists on our models and truly appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into them).  Like we said above, we know most of you guys reading this right now are smiling.
