ObviousNewbie Posted August 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2022 Hi all, I hope this is the right place for my request, as I did not see any other category it could fit into. I've been a member for some time, so nothing new there, but my location is about to change, drastically. The company I work for is sending me to Norway (Oslo area) to lead a project for one year. As I'm currently building Occre's Endurance (no build log yet, sort, it's been hectic trying to organise everything over the last months) my original thought was to pack up the shipyard and continue in the new destination. Norwegian customers had a different opinion: no import of any wood is allowed. After some teeth grinding, here's what I want to do: pack the shipyard, put Endurance in storage, leave all the spare wood home and buy a new kit once I'm there. So here's the question: could any members who have experience with buying/building kits in Norway please share the names and addresses of the stores where they buy their supplies? Thanks a lot in advance! mtaylor 1 Quote "Whatever does not kill you, only makes you stranger."

Cathead Posted August 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2022 My goodness, that's a problem. While I know nothing about Norwegian model sources, I suggest using the MSW community map to locate members in Norway and contact them. A quick look showed 46 members listed there, so if you send enough PMs, presumably someone will respond! You can also look at their profiles to see how active they are and choose contacts accordingly.

ObviousNewbie Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted August 22, 2022 God dag, Erik. I’m following the instructions of the moving company, who basically said they will not take any wood with them. Checked the Norwegian customs site, the info is quite vague, probably because I need to rely on internet translation. Might be there is a difference between importing processes? mtaylor 1 Quote "Whatever does not kill you, only makes you stranger."

ObviousNewbie Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted August 24, 2022 Hi James, thnx for moving this to the correct spot. Indeed, I can order kits online, but I was more looking for small purchases (extra glue, extra strips etc), seems a bit of overkill having to pay shipping costs for those. Also, as I'm still relatively new to this hobby, I've come to appreciate the expert advice these store owners seem to have. But I can always get back here and ask, everyone here has been a great help in my previous builds 🙂 mtaylor 1 Quote "Whatever does not kill you, only makes you stranger."
