Everything takes longer than one thinks it will; Two years ago, the Dwell Homes by Empyrian were announced, and we looked forward to seeing Charlie Lazor's flatpak house popping up all over the place. Blueskymod also unveiled its new Todd Saunders designed cabin. Now, two years later we are seeing the Amy Goodwin's flatpak, and the BlueSkyMod people "are working on something big", but have not produced any more models. Such is the way of the modern prefab world, which has not yet lived up to its promise.
But some things do come true; Warren promised us the Sparrow electric car and it appears that you can buy it now.
