Here is the resin kit.
I remember, the first I
had heard of this kit, was when I first got
online. I was searching the web for anything
about the kits that I remembered from my
childhood. I had found John F Greens ( see my
links page). When I was looking through the PS
kits he had listed, I noticed a resin Stegosaurus
that was supposed to be based off the original
sculpt (don't know if it was actually from the
sculpt or just based on it). I was just back into
the hobby then and had no interest at all in
resin kits. So I didn't note who it was from or
any other information that I could really use
now.
(boy did I not know much when I wrote that
paragraph
I have since learned that the kit listed on John
F Green's was from Lunar, which was owned by Mike
Evans.
He sold the company, then opened a new one called
Alchemy Works.)
Below, you will find some pictures I found.
And random thoughts that I posted as I learned
the information many years ago. Some of it sounds
very naive now that I know all that I do. But
back then, I didn't know any of these people.
Didn't know much about the garage kit industry.
And was really in the dark about a lot of things.
Above is a picture of the resin kit that I
found in an auction on ebay. Turned out Jeff
Johnson's work.
It's from a company called Alchemy. Looks really
nice. Everything I've heard about the producer
(Alchemy) has been very good.
**** Turns out, that the
steg from Alchemy is the same one that Dave
Cockrum helped Lunar Models to produce. (thanks
to Dave Cockrum for that info)
Also, Alchemy is owned by Mike Evans, former
owner of Lunar Models. (thanks to Ed Diceman for
that piece of info)

*** Bad news. Alchemy was as Wonderfest this
year (2002). They had the last casting from their
molds for sale there. Turns out the molds are
shot, and they aren't going to make any new ones.
The worst part was, I didn't have the cash to buy
it. Seeing it in person really made me want to
have one too.
****** Good
News******
Talked to Mike at Alchemy this year at WF (2006)
There is lots of interest in this model again.
Enough interest to warrant a re-issue of it.
The only hold-up now, is that he doesn't have
anything to mold it from. His master was lost in
the fire they had a couple years ago.
But he does have a line on a kit he can borrow to
make the molds.
There is no firm time frame, but he hopes to have
it back in production within a year!
So start saving your money, because this bad boy
runs over $200.
