Testing my DML connection....... To ALL: The plans to create a die-cast all metal 1/18th scale model (not a kit) is in the works. A few weeks ago Steve at DMC Houston referred SunStar America Inc., A Chinese manufacture to me as a DMC model consultant. Today the final meetings and initial DMC-12 survey began with a photo session and measuring of my DeLorean VIN: 005726. Next week I will be attending a proto-type meeting at Sun Star US offices, where technical aspects of the metal die casting will be addressed. -----------------------------Follow - Up------------------------ The scheduled release of the Die-Cast Metal DeLorean is July 2001 in Hong Kong The price range for the 1.18thscale model will be some where in the $24.99 to $29.95 range. This is no pie in the sky deal, the manufactures now produce 31 different die-cast metal car models. I understand the first run will be 70,000 units. A full physical measurement and foto survey of my DMC-12 is scheduled for next week. I am now officially working as consultant for SSAI. Any DML member wishing to contribute in some way should contact me privately at: lseiler@xxxxx Just a brief note: I am having a terrible time with my e-mail and Total immersion web site. If you have sent mail or fail to get into the web page, please be patient - I am changing servers and should be on line soon. If you have not received your limited edition please relax, all kits have been produced so if you have purchased a kit you will get it fairly soon. As soon as the DMC site is back up a detailed up date will be posted.
