Ken's Die-cast Chop Shop and Guns is a Friend of Gaslands which may not be there next year. Ken Overby has had to leave home, is in financial difficulties, and is a maker of excellent accessories; some weapons, but mostly his incredible wheels. This business is failing, and he doesn't have a day job to back it up, so desperately needs business. Trouble is, he only sells via PMs on Faceplant: link
Check out the picture gallery to see the products. Without much business, this producer will be gone before next April. |

Well, if your a friend, tell him he needs to sort his sales channel(s) out. Facebook isn't gonna cut it. |

If he desperately needs business, has he considered etsy? Or having a website? Because there is NOTHING I want badly enough to let Facebook get its tentacles into me. I could maybe use a couple of vehicles. Let me know when he wants to do business. |

I'm not into 20mm Post Apocalypse, but I agree with both Bigby and Robert. He really needs a proper web presence. Lots of folks are reluctant to get involved with Facebook. |

I buy 1/72 sci-fi stuff off Etsy often. Seems people are always open to rescaling and there are several Gaslands vendors already making stuff in scale there. It might turn things around for him. |

Does anyone in the hobby have a business that is successful solely based on facebook/facebook sales? Serious question. It seems like an impossible way to make a living. |

The gaslands site has quite a list of approved manufacturers of accessories for the game separated by country. Also seems like a crowded market to try to make a living. https://gaslands.com/store/#friends |

He's trying to make a living selling resin bits for $5 USD a pop? I can't even imagine what kind of profit he's eeking out of that let alone his hourly wage. Time to listen to the free market and find other work… |
