Obviously, Westerfield is retiring. However, I'm not aware that Ted Culotta

I'm guessing that many of us have accumulated so many kits that we won't
have to resort to scratch building for a few yrs...if the current list of
resin manufacturers were to disappear...which does not appear to be
happening.
