Hey All, I felt it necessary to announce today that I'll be retiring from producing APS "Add-on" kits on June 30, 2022. I will putting my focus and energy's in other more "urgent" areas.
It was a fun run!
I'll continue to participate occasionally when time allows. There are other Producers of what if and add-on kits that are continuing to offer their versions of the "scenes". Until then, I'll still have a few more kits and surprises to offer including the Amargasaurus conversion kit.
Thank you for your patronage and help in making this a fun series to be a part of!

It is kind of sad.
The end of an era.
To many, you are the godfather of add-on kits. You came up with the idea, and they you ran with it.
You put your money where your mouth was and had kits sculpted, molded, and cast.
And you put out some amazing kits over the years.
A truly lasting legacy.
I hope you have success with whatever you are moving on to.

Thank you Trevor! You are one of my inspirations to do this in the first place. That, and Pit Mikes posting of the full bodied Woolly Rhino box art back in the early 2000's. Not realizing that the 1/13 sculpt of the Stegosaurus by Rick Wyatt was of a Dave Cockrum design for Aurora. Then I saw the Parasaurolophus sculpted by Jeff Brown for Larry Johnson, designed again by Dave Cockrum. I began to wonder if it would be possible to recreate a sculpt of a what if kit to sell for the Scenes. Thus, my first kit was the Protoceratops. The Protoceratops was a design thought I had when I was at College in 1982. I held on to that idea up until it became a reality. The fever happened and the rest is history.
Not a very prolific series to produce for and definitely not a profitable one either but it was truly a Labor of love!
I have a lot of people to thank for getting me here. I could not have done it with the support, help and criticism of them all. There are a lot of talented folks out there that can and will continue to carry this series forward. Was always hoping that Aurora would make a comeback and bring forth more of their unfinished PS kits, but no. Wished DenComm would have stepped up the creation of their rendition of the Scenes too. But no. It's up to us to continue the Scenes forward.
