Youa re certainly being tested there Alan - keep going mate it will work out in the end. OC. -
Evening all, bit of an update - the seller has issued a refund in Full, and says no need to return the broken base, so turned out ok in the end. OC.
-
That looks Superb Gary. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan, will look at doing that after my sanding shaping is done, I will have Alot of cutting - sanding away of the top where it will go from about 3mm thick on the one edge to anout 10mm and the other opposing edges it will go from about 20mm to around 25mm. OC.

Ah yes of course aka Flyhawks hulls (I should have remembered that) OC. -
What I shall do is - await the reply back from the seller, if he is refunding me with me keeping this, I will still have enough material to work with as I ordered larger than I needed, so I will be able to cut and sand the pieces I want and glue them down on to the plastic base (using PVA Glue I have to hand) then just shape the rest of the pieces as I go, and light hairline cracks wont matter as I have a roll of the modellers grass mat to go over the top so the cracks or seems where the pieces join will not be seen. OC.

What an excellent idea, so I guess you slide the tub assembly in from rear of the assembly? Wish more kits would adapt this idea. OC. -
Indeed mate some times its a hit or miss affair ordering from over there. OC.

Thank you kindly brother, I will see what they say when they are open again (China Time) They initially responded straight away when I messaged them - full of apologies saying they would send a replacement but knowing that would also arrive damaged - I told them in no uncertain terms that I did not want a replacement but I wanted a Full Refund as I completely blamed them for not packaging it in bubble wrap or similar, they went quiet on me after that. OC.
-
Craig Packaging - what packaging, it was just put inside a thin plastic bag with no protection at all - it had no chance at all in not getting damaged travelling half way across the world. I am pushing them to refund my money while I see what I can rescue with this one as there is lots of trimming and thinning work to do to get the profile I need. OC.
-
Waiting to see what they will do about it. OC.
-
I have contacted them through Ebay waiting on a reply. OC.

Afternoon all, my styrene base has turned up from China - I will let the photos speak for them selves - to say I am not amused is putting it mildly - OC.
-
Thank you kindly brother. OC.
-
Looking good Alan, I do washes over my 28mm figures but how well I would get on doing that at this scale - I dont know, you could try a very slightly darker shade of Yellow and paint the shadows, then a slightly lighter shade of Yellow and dry brush the highlights and raised areas, I haven't actually successfully painted any larger scale figures. OC.

Thank you kindly Gary. OC.
-
That is some collection amazing models. OC.

Thats a Great museum I have been a few times, so which bike is yours? OC. -
Evening all, more odds and ends added and primed ready for paint layers - OC.
-
Very nice work Alan - quite a colourful chap. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Alan I will add a few more items to my tub. OC.
-
Evening all, a small bit of progress today - I have started to collect some odds and ends - shakos (that needed cutting off from heads then hollowing out) muskets that have had hands cut away and ruck sacks. OC.
