I just saw a post on another modelling forum that Cobra Company is shutting down due to the owner's health issues. To confirm, I just went to their website and it's gone! That's terrible news as they had great products. Well regardless, I hope he gets well soon.

Can anyone further confirm this news?

Seems to be confirmed by several people over at ARC....

Yes, Chris has closed up shop due to waning sales and health issues. I spoke with him yesterday about it. I hope he does well and rests up as he goes forward with his life. I wish him all the best.

There is interest by other companies to acquire his masters though; so keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for the updates guys. I hope he can pass along his masters to someone else to make some cash and to allow us to continue purchasing the products.

This is bad news. I hope his health improves.

really sorry to hear this, great resin products that filled a need. Best wishes to him and I hope the masters are picked up by someone to continue

Your last chance to buy any remaining stock from Cobra Company.

Order placed. Glad I was able to get some stuff I had put off purchasing in the past.

Lone Star Models has bought the remaining Cobra Company stock and masters. They have what is left available now and will start producing more items as they gear up production.

You can check them out here.

This is wonderful news!

Agreed, fantastic news

If he had been more agreeable to his potentials buyers, he could have had more sales. No paypal and not accepting Canadian pre-paid CC was not helping him IMHO.

I do wish him good health, I know what it is when health starts playing tricks with your body
