D4C club car?
I believe I asked this question but then I forgot to check back for any response - sorry - is there a club car for 2019 and/or 2020? Thanks for your response - I'll check back....

Not on the current horizon.

Wasn't Legacy/Mint working with a different manufacture to come up with an exclusive?

And... any news about a new Esval 1:24?

So, there was this thinking out loud proposal when we, the forum members, were asked for our input as to what models we would like to see modeled with the introduction of a brand spanking new range of 1/24 scale models.
We all became excited about the prospect of a new range, especially so since our preferred scale seems to have taken a back seat in any manufacturers planning sessions.
That was around this time two or more years ago and now appears to be parked under the Cone of Silence - meaning, the project has probably been shelved.
I think that the possibility of a new range of 1/24 scale models sprung from a joint venture that already existed between the Ms Peters organisation, no disrespect intended when I say that, I just don't know who is what and where around here, and model manufactuer, Esval. This project resulted in the 1928 Capone Cadillac. A pretty decent model by all accounts. However, this resulted in shattered dreams among a small number of our members who believed that all this was any more than a talk fest.
Clearly, the new range went nowwhere and as Tony stated above here that there is nothing on the immediate horizon.
I took this to mean both no new range and any new new D4C limited release of anything in 1/24 scale.
Maybe we can expect to be pleasantly surprised at some future time when a new release in this series does show up though. We just need to wait and see. Trying in the mean time not to be too disappointed if facing a long wait is all that there is just now.

That was my second question. A while ago Michelle mentioned a venture with Estvel. So far no news???
Was this not feasible for Mint Models/Legacy to get involved in? It seemed promising for awhile!
