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.

Just catching up, OC.  Looking really good and I agree with the others that your weathering is not overdone.  I think it's controlled and very realistic.  Love the wet, sloppy looking road ruts.

Wish you the best on making this right. My own track record with merchandise returns to China is not good at all. Maybe Ebay will intercede somehow. It looks like it was cut with something. Was the packaging damaged as well?

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.

China directly? forgetabout it, eBay? I've had both good and bad results with items from China.. My experience says it depends on how much business they get from eBay, if a lot, than you may see a good result, If Not, they may abandon their eBay account... For items like this, Amazon is the better option even if it's coming from China for eBay I don't buy from China except with Paypal, cause paypal will yank the finds right back out of their account if it isn't satisfactory...

 

They probably won't want the material back cause it IS so inexpensive... But ya the very very poor shipping was a serious issue here... You should be getting your money back... (but as with everything China, don't hold your breath waiting)

 

And brother, just in case they want it back, I wouldn't do anything with it till you know for sure... It's one of those items that isn't worth shipping back I know, but then there is the oddball Chinese for ya and eBay may require it....

 

But it is a product that can be glued together into whatever shape you need...

 

Frustrating yes, I think we've all gone thru it at least once, it's one of the things Chinese shippers are famous for....

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.

I hope that works out for you OC. It does seem a lottery buying from China via eBay. I'm in the same situation. I've generally been impressed with DSPIAE modelling tools and ordered their magnetic paint stirrer. It sounded like an interesting idea. You drop a small steel rod in the paint bottle and a motor on teh base spins the rod round extremely fast. Mine arrived and I gave it a try. It wouldn't even rotate the rod in the paint. Thinking the paint might be too thick I tried it with water and got a similar result. So far communication has been great and they apparently have a replacement on the way. We shall see. I should have listened to @Egilman about paint stirrers.😄

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.

Run a layer of paper soaked in dilute white glue over the foam and any cracks will be lost beneath it. I tend to think of the foam layer as the base and refine it with paper towel etc

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.

Evening all, more  work  has been done  on my  odds and ends  -  painted and weathered  Pelisse,  will  have  a  flat top coat  over the top when  fully dry,  the  muskets  are getting some colour,  and  the  knapsacks  are getting their  straps  painted, still  more work to do.

 

With the  Pelisse  -  I first  layed down a Black primer, then  Dark Green followed  with a  bit of White  mixed with the Green  to  make a slightly lighter shade - ths  was painted on the  high light  areas  leaving the  sunken shadow areas  Dark Green,  I then  went over  with a  wash,  then  finished  with a  light dry brush dusting of my  dust paint,   its  made to look  dusty as it will  be sitting on the  dirty dusty road.
