@Bryan D. posted:This info is second hand from someone who was there yesterday ( and will be again today ) . At least he made an appearance . He had painted samples of the gons which apparently looked very nice . He was quite defensive about not updating the site or communicating with customers which shows a real lack of understanding of how you need to relate to your customers . I didn't get any indication of there being any schedule for delivery the long overdue SD project engines either - guess I'm not surprised . He had a lot of traffic / interest at his table from what has been relayed to me . This person intends to talk to him again today so if anything of interest is passed along to me I'll do the same .
As a reservation/deposit holder, does he provide any updates to you?
I don't have any Midwestern Modelworks on reservation but the last thing I reserved years ago ended up screwing me by taking my deposit money, providing no meaningful updates over 7 years and then shipping me versions of the model that weren't even close to what I reserved.
I have no basis to critique Erik so this is not meant for him but I'm soured on reserving high dollar things with "nonrefundable large deposits" from builders with a so-called "track record of delivering".
