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...

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.

Old Collingwood Posted May 21 Author Share #2723 Posted May 21 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.

Old Collingwood Posted May 23 Author Share #2727 Posted May 23 (edited) 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.
