Dave B Posted November 18, 2017 #31 Posted November 18, 2017 I received one of these fine saws from zootoyz today. It arrived very carefully packed and included the Japanese cloth which itself is quite nice as a decorative wall item. Very happy with the transaction and saw. They sent me several emails regarding the status after placing the order. I've tried the saw, it works great, very easy to control, and it's definitely going to come in handy.

BANYAN Posted November 18, 2017 #32 Posted November 18, 2017 Seems the price may have gone up? I enquired today and A$130 (¥3,700 with postage) is just a little too rich no matter how good the saw. cheers Pat Canute 1 If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
Dave B Posted November 19, 2017 #33 Posted November 19, 2017 Hi Pat, I placed my order on Oct 23rd and the price was 2618 JPY plus 420 JPY for shipping to Missouri USA for a total of 3038 JPY. That was $27.64 at the time. Thanks, Dave Canute and mtaylor 2 Dave Barnard Current build: IXO 1:8 scale Mercedes W196 (a little break from ships) Completed: Marseille (Mamoli) - 1985 Constitution (Mamoli) hull and deck only - 1987 Duke William (Kammerlander) - 2008 Halifax (Lauck Street Shipyard) - 2013 Niagara (Model Shipways) no masts/rigging - 2019 HMS Speedy (Vanguard Models) - 2024
Altduck Posted November 19, 2017 #34 Posted November 19, 2017 Pat I suggest you double check the exchange rate. If I looked up the exchange rate correctly, 1AUD = 84.83 JPY so the 3700 would be more like about AUD 44 BANYAN, Canute, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Richard
BANYAN Posted November 20, 2017 #35 Posted November 20, 2017 Thanks, it appears I put too much trust in the first converter Google suggested. You are right - worth considerable consideration me theinks cheers Pat mtaylor and Canute 2 If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
