Jon,
On the website, most items state the scale.
A lot of 1/24 stuff. My buildings and die cast are 1/24.
So, a lot of neat detail stuff I’d like to have.

Yes Ralph, I did notice that but some items are ambiguous as well…

1/32 SCALE, MINIATURE, G SCALE, 1/2 INCH SCALE, AS PICTURED....
Which is it - 1:32 or 1:24 (1/2 inch)? I don't think they really mean 1/32.

Not to pick on this particular vendor. The whole industry suffers from this. Ozark Miniatures has similar issues. I’ve bought detail parts from their 1:20 catalog, but they are noticeably smaller than the same details on AMS and Bachman 1:20 cars.

The point is, ordering details by web or catalog in our scales can be frustrating at best.

I sent ole Larry about $100 via paypal something like 2 weeks ago. Have received neither an email, nor the junk. Too soon to be super concerned, but I thought I’d have SOMETHING by now.

Some of the stuff he’s found is amazing, but OTOH I’ve found some of his $6 items for less than $3 at dollhouse and craft stores.

I’ve gotten a few things from him, though not recently.

You can sometimes find things cheaper.
It’s like anything else, you pay a little more for the convienance.
