kiwiron Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share #481 Posted May 12, 2016 Hi Pat,small parts from cornwall model boats have cheap freight with no gst added it works out good,not sure how whole kits would work out.Much cheaper kits from the u.k. than from here or Aussie for us.

DenPink Posted May 12, 2016 Share #482 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Hi Pat,small parts from cornwall model boats have cheap freight with no gst added it works out good,not sure how whole kits would work out.Much cheaper kits from the u.k. than from here or Aussie for us. Hi Ron I agree with you re freight Ie I wanted to get a Proxxon miller, asked for a price from Proxxon New Zealand they wanted $2,500nz. Had a look at the Tool shed in Australia, I think it was just under or just over $700au + P&P and import duty it came to about just over $1,200nz. A bit different to $2,500nz that Proxxon New Zealand wanted. Sorry it is not Tool Shed it is MY TOOL STORE, sorry Dave for putting you wrong. Denis.

kiwiron Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share #483 Posted May 14, 2016 More or less finished the Endeavour now,just need to attach a sail above the ships launch if Occre send me one or I find it again.Two and a half years as time permitted pretty good kit overall but who knows what the Endeavour really looked like,there's so many variations around with great details.Now to organise a case for it.Thanks to all of the guys who have built or are building Endeavours for the photos and advice and also for everyone else's help,it would have been nearly impossible without your help.For micklen32 and Augie r.i.p thanks men,see you later on. russ, JeffT, MEPering and 11 others 14 Quote Current builds: HMS Victory - Caldercraft 1:72 Completed builds: HMB Endeavour - OcCre 1:54 HMS Supply - Caldercraft 1:64.

Cabbie Posted May 14, 2016 Share #495 Posted May 14, 2016 Hi Ron Absolutely well done Very neat and tidy work And that final shot showing off the contrasting colors really does make it very enjoyable to look at her.

kiwiron Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share #498 Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks a lot for your comments men.the 0.25 and 0.5mm thread is caldercraft from cornwall model boats,those sizes in Occre thread were rubbish.I'm getting a guy in Christchurch here to make up an acrylic case top 4.5mm looks a bit stronger than 3mm.One of my work mates is making a base for it so should turn out well.After we move back to our rebuilt house after the eartquakes in September I've got a plastic huey to do then maybe a Chinese junk,i like them after visiting China.We'll see.
