Ditto, sent two messages through their website about a complete Mardave set up price and also called and left a VM - this was all weeks ago.

Keith, Mandy and the crew at Kamtec are extremely busy - and being only a relatively small concern sometime (like Xmas for example) they can get swamped with orders. I guess their priority is shipping orders placed already over and above enquiries about making new shells.

Give Keith time and he'll get back to you - they're a great bunch at Kamtec as I've dealt with them for a few years now and very keen to please all their customers.

Keith has to be careful about replica shells though - he started making a Durga shell and got a rather nasty call from Tamiya's lawyers!!

I think you're confusing "copying" with "replica" Mark - Keith always has made subtle adjustments to any "original" shell that he's given to make a mould from. In the case of the Durga I supplied for him, unfortunately the changes were too subtle for the first draft that went into production.
