I received mine just before Christmas, they shipped to Ireland for me no problem. They did price shipping to Dubai for me but it basically doubled the cost of the unit. Just email Them directly and they'll sort you out.

Just want to add to this thread. Firstly, I am a beginner to modelling in general. Secondly I have never used an airbrush before! On Glendergs advice, I contacted Alison at bartsharp.co.uk, and bought the TC802 compressor and VEDA 186R complete kit. Awesome to deal with. Apart from the paint, thinner and electricity it is everything you need to start airbrushing. I had been looking at YouTube videos etc on how to airbrush and was planning on self learning, but thankfully one of my friends out here saw I had 'liked' some of georgeconnas work on Facebook, and admitted he was seriously into plastic airplane modelling. So, he gave me a few airbrush lessons recently, using a Revell 1/32 ME109 G6 I picked up at Christmas ( went into marks in cork for train stuff and couldn't resist buying it!) Have to say I was amazed at how easy it is. I'm sure that it will be a serious learning curve to match the quality of many of the guys on here, but I urge anyone thinking about it to take the plunge! It really isn't as hard as you probably think! As I live in Dubai, it is hot here all year round. Given the conditions I found the compressor ran VERY hot so I'm not sure what kind of lifespan it will have. It seemed to give a nice even pressure, no pulsing that I noticed. It would probably be fine in the Irish climate. If and when it does kick the bucket I will get one with a tank. The airbrush worked great, and my mate just asked today where I got it as he wants one. I trust his judgement given the quality of his work, he won dozens competitions in 1/48 scale aircraft before he left Australia to work here. Anyway, give it a go if it's something you've been thinking about!

Hi Richie Can you contact me reference my order placed 5th December please. Thanks

Happy new year! All the best for 2015

Happy birthday

Merry Christmas, hope Santa was good

Happy birthday!

WOW - that is spectacular! Are those roof tiles individually cut/laid?! The attention to detail is breathtaking!

Think it was mentioned earlier, but it may be more appropriate to test the whole crowd funding project with a run of something less complex but still in demand, such as a bogie cement/fertiliser/timber wagon. People would want multiple units, so even if they only ordered 1 or 2 initially they would likely buy more after it was produced. Maybe even offer multiple unit discounts. That might make it more appealing to a manufacturer or model shop to take on the project. With regard to this sort of project - it would obviously divert some consumers money away from the available models on sale now, but that would be a very short term issue. When modellers have the money again in 3 or 6 or however many months, they will start buying the 201's and 071's and MK11s etc while waiting for their orders. I think this would be a good opportunity for a model shop or MM to take on, especially if they gave a minimum requirement of 150-250 units pre sold in order to go ahead with it. They've guaranteed a certain number of sales, so some of the risk is offset. As mentioned before, the two biggest problems are getting the people to actually put their money where their mouth is, and getting a model shop/manufacturer on board.

Happy birthday!

I'd be willing to front up. 1. 121 2. A class

And importantly a beer fridge neatly tucked away there

Thanks for the help Richie! Shame I don't live in Ireland or I would also take you up on the tutorial!!

Hey guys. I'm looking at buying an airbrush and compressor shortly. How essential is a tank for the compressor? I'm a newbie to painting models, not planning on doing too much with it, mainly weatherig and occasional re sprays of coachs etc once I lose the fear of ruining a nice model lol I'm looking at the TC802 compressor and Veda 186R from the bartshop link posted earlier.

lol Thanks Glenderg! I had made one up at scale 28mm and it looked quite narrow which is why I decided to ask.

Thanks I had looked through the drawings but the resolution isnt great on most of them and cant make out the numbers. I guess about 8ft would be close?

Hey, Can anyone tell me what width the 4 wheel wagons such as bubbles/ballast etc should be? Thanks Jamie

Outstanding work!

Thanks came across that one before. Very useful link, but I'm looking more for building drawings and dimensions. Will check out the irrs. Cheers!

I was wondering if and where it is possible to get the plans of railway related structures such as signal boxes, goods/cement sheds, station buildings etc I see plans in UK/US magazines all the time and wondered if we had the same access to Irish stuff? Thanks in advance!

Hey. I'll take the 4 IE mk11a's. Will pm shortly

Merry Christmas!
