I kind of thought they might be a website with nothing behind it --- 
that is I thought they might have gone out of business and left the 
website behind.

Okay, first up, let me assure you that Comet are alive and well. Their 
website has been updated lately, and I bought 2 ST kits from them a few 
months ago.

The bad news is that the Mini-Metals range, which included the 
Battlestar, is out of production at present; Tony tells me that they 
plan to bring them back once the moulds are reworked (or something like 
that -- I'm remembering a phone conversation here), but there is no 
schedule for that, so when it happens (_if_ it happens) is in the lap 
of the gods. Hold not thy breath...

Phil, who also wants a couple of Battlestars -- plus one to convert <g>
