I should have put this in my original post, but here's the e-mail of the guy you want to talk to:

Franckfiguls@libertysurf.fr

I've never ordered from him, but others over at Tiny RC have and say he's a straight shooter, speaks english and prefers PayPal.

Those are sweet jmays! Are you gonna mold them or are they one-offs? I especially dig the Citroen.

Hey, if you get in touch with the bus guy, can you let me know how much those are going for and how much shipping ends up being? Like i said, I never pursued the resin bodies, but I wouldn't mind getting one of his Renaults and maybe a microbus if they aren't too expensive.

i will let you guys know what happens with the price and stuff, i did a currancy conver on the 15 french whatever it is and it comes out to 18 dollars usa and the shipping was like 6 french so it would be something like7.50 dollars usa, it will be pricy for the bus body but like i said i just will not be totally happy with this hobby until i get a bus body , the other bodies on the sight were not as expensive as the bus so theres good news for the other one you asked about, as far my citroen i wouold like to make a casting so that i can have a clean body with windows u can see thru, i have to get the right resin and rtv rubber, i messed around with the latex mold builder and its ok but u cant make a two peice mold with it like the rtv... i will let everyone know if the molding takes off.
