That was a Brilliant (how to make rope) explanation EJ - very well laid out and explained - just shows how a genuine looking rope can be made in different thicknesses with a little time. OC. -
Thank you kindly for saying that, I think the admiral was also slightly worried about it being made from glass - as the case would be moved a fair bit with me working on the base and the worry of it getting smahed. OC.

Evening all, I have had a strange development with my display case situation - the maker of the case came out this evening after a Three hour drive, he took the broken case away with him and was due back over in the morning with it repaired at his cost, after talking to the admiral we decided instead it would be best if we cancelled the case order but let the maker keep all the money I paid him as compensation for all he had done - so I contacted him and said the same thing, we just feel to guilty having him do all this including the time and travel for him and the general hassle all round, its been a bit of an ordeal if I'm honest. OC.

I like the Mig Ammo washes but when I opened them I got quite a shock as they are quite smelly even if being brushed on, I was concerend about the admiral noticing the smell as they are a bit on the Turps type of smell. OC.

Sorry about that the writting didn't show - anyway I have constructed Six of the 2nd KGL including one of the Captains, a few seems need scarping on the arms then it will be priming time. OC.

She is looking Superb - those wood masts and spars are so cool and the right route - they will help no end when you run the standing rigging. OC.

Evening all, so temptation got in the way and as my new figures has arrived I decided to pop the box open and choose Five to start with - first impressions - there are Eight sprus replicated and with enough poses to do what I need, the quality is easily as good as Perry (plastic seems a little harder - but that's a good thing) just the normal seem down each leg and under the arm area - but easily removed with a sharp blade, they are separate torso's - arms - legs - heads - some without hats and some other separate items - overall very cool should paint up a treat. Here is a spru shot and a close up of a couple of the figures on the spru.

Yep that Bell 222A was a superb piece of kit and created a few good look alike RC heli's. OC.

And good that you have had a comment form Jack and the Box (Cough cough)😁 OC. -
Thanks Ken, he couldn't be more helpful over the phone when he rung me - he said he was not going to let me down felt bad about all the messing around and wanted to make sure it was sorted by himself - and Brilliant news that he is taking the crate pieces away with him as they would have been akward to have disposed off as our dustbin men would not have taken them. OC.

Thanks Mark, thats why I advertised him on our forum - I think he is a gem and will do all he can to get things right. He is a pilot also and helps out his local Air Cadets. OC.
-
Thank you Edward. OC.

Eye eye, count me in brother. OC.

Indeed brother, and another tick for him - he is an aviator also. OC.

Thanks Phil. OC.

Not long got off the phone with the cabinet maker - some positive news, we are scrapping the idea of a courier delivery company - instead shawn is driving the 3.5 hr journey on sat evening he is going to pick the broken case up - take it back repair it then drive back to me on the sunday with the repaired case, then he is going to unpack the case and even take the wood crate away with him. Cant complain with that - its above and beyond service all at his cost. OC.
-
Sounds good to me chris - just keep building - thats what we want.😁 OC.
-
You kit horder you chris lol😁 OC.

I have just emailed him again regarding the broken case - I said I think the problem is with the base inside the crate being slightly wider (all round) than the glass case, when the drivers have picked up the crate and turned it over to handle it (single handed) the glass case will have fell against the inside of the wood crate making it smash, I said I think the only answer is more packaging/styrene corners/more bubble wrap till the glass case has no room to move and is so insulated inside the crate - it can withstand handling and shocks, also said I think the top needs better indication in Large writing "This Way Up" I think it will keep happening otherwise.
