    Sad to see this go, although they did seem to have some major QC problems.

    I rather liked the look of the Clayton DHP1 they made.

    DHP1 didn't even make it to production sadly, likewise Bellerophon and Big Bertha. Almost ready to be signed off before they went under. They did make some good models, but also a lot of duff ones - the Fell was particularly bad. Not just quality control, but the actual design in the first place was appalling.

    And yet I believed their GT3 won awards?
