Willmodels

[Jim Starbuck]

I’m not sure which forum this should be in but it looks like their products were primarily N scale.

Does anyone know if Willmodels is still active? I haven’t found anything recent.
He did many Shapeways models and it looked like resin vehicle and structure castings as well.
I’m interested in a Shapeways model he developed but never offered for sale.

Thanks,
Jim

I assume you can contact him through his Shapeways account.  No idea if he answers.  But apparently, whatever he produced is still available.

You can reach him through his Shapeways store or his Facebook page. I corresponded with him earlier this month.

I found his Facebook so I’ll reach out to him there.
I messaged him through Shapeways a few weeks ago but didn’t get a reply thus the thread here.
Thank you much!

According to https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=43888.0 Jim suffered a debilitating stroke in early 2018 and was unable to run his business.  Sounds like he is recovering -- that is a great news!  What is the story Bryan?

I don’t know. I reached out to him regarding a design non-health-related issue. It probably was through FB messenger. I am unaware of any health challenges he is enduring.
