scahalane Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great stuff Des, any discount on bulk buys similar to the bubble detailing kit?
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.
Garfield Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 You've answered my prayers, Des! I've a couple of half-built tankers ready and waiting!
Weshty Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 and there's other goodies on the way...watch this space...

Weshty Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 I thought you told me after the Sulzer you were taking it easy for a while? Sigh. I know I know, but I had a few hours and 'tis an itch I had to scratch!

Garfield Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 When will these be ready Des and do you have any order details on your site as I need a few of these. You're not the only one... these are gonna be seriously handy!
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!
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.

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.

Right so your planning a two week break on your boat in the Algarve.
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..?
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
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!

Weshty Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Hi all. You will be delighted to know that three etches have now been sent off for check and approval to the manufacturers this morning. -Oil Tanker detailing -Pocketwagon detailing -New Cement Bubble detailing The draft sheets have been returned to me already and I will be able to check them this evening. Once confirmed, they should be available for purchase in three weeks.

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 How long before they're ready Des
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.
Weshty Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) This is the Burmah decal detailing, thanking Mr Church! Remember, this is available currently. F28 Edited January 26, 2013 by Weshty
