Yup, that's the story. There was a discussion earlier today on another site about the Scale Hardware webpage being down. I called them to find out; and, sorry to say, the guy I spoke with said that the company is permanently closed. It's going to make finding metal fasteners that much more difficult.

Sorry to hear that. Scale hardware had the best sanding sticks I've seen so far, glad I got a bunch last purchase.

An alternative that may be of use - http://www.prime-miniatures.co.uk/home -
Dominic has eyebolts too.

Hi
Apparently Scale Hardware has been purchased by Model Motorcars - https://www.modelmotorcars.com/scalehardware/ -
Got an email from the new company.
Good news..

The inventory and brand name were purchased. That doesn't necessarily mean Marvin will be producing new stock. Model Motorcars gets its metal NBRs from Germany. I've ordered from them in the past and the plastic bags had stickers written in German. But hey, who knows what'll happen.
