Kanamodels Another One Bites the Dust

There site was up and running a month or two ago.  Now I see this British Columbia producer of laser cut buildings is gone.  You can still find some of the buildings for sale by Canadian MR stores if you google.

I don't know anything about the whys, maybe our Canadian friends have more info.  It's probably not too different from the usual story, a small mom and pop operation and mom and pop got old.

From what I have seen, the owner passed away in August.

Never heard of them; did I miss anything?

Sad to read that.  I dare ask how much the stuff cost.  Is there a remarkable difference between laser cut and regular structures?

Maybe.  I never saw one of their kits in person, but they appeared to be reasonably priced laser wood kits.  Some were generic MR structures and some were distinctly Canadian.
