scahalane Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great stuff Des, any discount on bulk buys similar to the bubble detailing kit? Quote
Weshty Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 Great stuff Des, any discount on bulk buys similar to the bubble detailing kit? Yup, nothing finalised yet, but looking at about 12% off when you get 5. I may also look at a combo pack of detailing and decals. Quote

Weshty Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Hi lads, Once I've emailed the etch design off I will put details up on site. It will encourage me to get it finalised! Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 That,s great news Des i suppose you would,nt consider a 20 foot wagon chassis would you as there is,nt a decent one available that looks correct. Quote

Hidden-G, We're barely at the end of the first week of Jan and I am designing so much already (despite promising myself a sabbatical after the Sulzer...arrrgh!!) that the 20' is not currently high on the agends. I think Mayner and Dave Kavanagh have some 20 footers cooking in the pipeline? If they don't...then maybe somestage in the future. ;-) Weshty. Quote

Broithe Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Right so your planning a two week break on your boat in the Algarve. Tax exile..? Quote
Garfield Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Aye, Mayner is working on a rather good-looking 20ft flat... http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/816-4-wheel-Container-Wagon Quote
Weshty Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Tax exile..? Wouldn't that be lovely. Still, it's great to have a few items on the go, especially ones that don't end up taking 12-18 months for fruition. Bliss! Quote

Weshty Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 How long before they're ready Des All etch patterns have been finalised and approved as of yesterday, so they will be ready to ship out to customers by Friday the 15th of February. I have also added the option of purchasing the Burma square type catwalk to the etch. The website will be updated with details shortly. Quote
