Default Model Minutes US -out of business?

Just perusing UMRS and he has one of the model minutes kits listed but I recall they had quite a few interesting kits. Are they out of business? Any plans anywhere to clone if they are out of business? Read on EMRR that they had a free download of a paper rocket but could not find a link....

Pretty sure they're gone. Chan Stevens was building them back in the QUARK days, but I think they sold out to Nick who then closed out the stock.

I bought a bunch of Model Minutes kits when they were winding down.

I started building one, but kind of lost interest. I have so many other models of my own design to build.

If anyone is really cranked, send me a PM and we can work something out.

We bought the rest of Nicks Stock to finish selling off. But to the best of my knowledge he still "holds" the rights to the kits.

He does, though I bought the company's domain from him when I bought EMRR. I've talked with Nick about buying the rights to the kits. But, we didn't get into serious discussions.

I have access to some resources that I think could be used to produce the kits and even make them a little better than they were. But, I'm not sure if there's enough interest in the kits to make it worthwhile.
