WTB: Boxwood blocks

[halevine]

I am looking for a vendor for boxwood blocks for my MS Constitution.  The kit supplied blocks are not very good.  Syren, from whom I have bought excellent blocks in the past, does not seem to have any at the moment. I have inquired as to when they will again be available but have received no response. Thanks for your help.

Should have more in a couple of weeks.

 At Syren. A few weeks ago I completely sold out of every size.  Except for a handful of triple blocks, I literally sold them all over a four day period. Which was insane.  About 20,000 blocks.

 

so i have been slowly restocking them.  I am about 1/2 way through making more.

Is there a stockpiling of blocks like toilet paper in this pandemic??? Bizarre.

Good Evening Druxey;

 

It would seem that suddenly half the World's population have been forced into taking early (and hopefully temporary) retirement. In that event, a fair number will, it must be hoped, turn to building model ships as a great way to fill the time that work no longer takes up. 

 

I just hope, though, that the bill for all the 'temporary pensions' does not land on my doormat with too much of a bang!

 

All the best,

 

Mark

The NRG store has been doing increased business during the pandemic.  People are building and reading.

    After working full bore through the pandemic, I have just executed a long planned retirement.  A couple weeks of decompression and model building will begin anew.  Several models in the ways and in the planning stages.  I will be coming to Chuck for blocks and line at some time in the couple-months-down-the-line future.

Congratulations Chuck!

...and looking forward to the October 2021 NRG Conference in Oxnose.

If you need blocks, Chuck S., you'd better book your order early now!
