Good for you Dave

Good job I'd already got mine then in it! You gotta watch these Dave's you know, they don't half move quick!

Kind regards

Many thanks for all the nonsense so far on this thread, hopefully it will throw up ideas for all to use. Perhaps at this point I should stress that the only real rule is we all start with the same kit. I know it's seriously awful, but that's the point, you know, silk purse from sows ear and that kind of thing...

Look if you want to add etched windows you can.

A fair point.

There's one that generally moves like he's stuck in first gear, but I'm glad to say that in this instance he's found 2nd

Not the same solvent/glue. then?

[7113]

OK,, let's get sensible, I meant that we all start with a kit from the same tool, if you lot want to send a tube of glue around the country/globe

that's up to you

Right, I got my kit today and the mig-welder is at the ready.

Keith

 

[7113]

Two of said kits were delivered to my parents* today, that is to say mine and Brians'. So who else has taken delivery of theirs?

*Their post is rather more reliable than mine!!(plus they're retired)

Regards

 

[LetoII]

Well I have it ready but I am going to disappear for a week so feel free to start without me!

Kind regards
Dave

 

[Grumpy]

Got mine here now. Ready and waiting!

 

[7113]

I will probably post the opening post of the building section of this tomorrow, won't actually be able to collect the kits until then due to other commitments.

I shall also get Brians' to him in the next couple of days.

Regards

Yay! I got mine yesterday. Amazing since I only ordered it from Hattons LAST THURSDAY!

Unfortunately, whilst I am pleased to be ready-to-go with this project, the order I placed for 2 x Metcalfe engine sheds and 1 x Metcalfe signal boxes, on Feb. 1st., STILL hasn't arrived.
Connected with Hattons, via their excellent "chat" tool online, and though they were extremely supporting/helpful, they can't place a claim into Royal Mail until 25 "working days" after the thing was shipped

so unless the order magically arrives on its own, I have to wait until MARCH 8th. before we can even begin to get it declared lost and re-shipped <sigh>.

(Sorry for the slightly off-topic, but was a frustration when I opened the box and found it to not be the original package I'd hoped for)

 

[KGR]

I supported my local model shop for my kit, no P&P charges for me and a little bit of trade for them.
