Warbonnet Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Hi Everyone, As Patrick stated earlier, we have some very exciting news ahead of this weekend's show. Not only will our enterprise be unveiling our third project, but we should also be able to show you all the first pre-production sample of our highly anticipated Cement Bubble wagon. Not only that, but when Saturday comes you will be able to pre-order the cement bubble and we will be doing a fairly unbeatable offer for buyers of multiple packs for this weekend only! The bubbles will be sold in four packs, with three uniquely numbered wagons per pack to give the modeller the chance to build up an authentic 12 wagon rake. They will be in pristine condition as are the wishes of the majority in our recent poll. (We cant wait to see what the skilled weather artists do to them with their airbrush!) Packs will be €125 each and ordering will be the same deposit system as per the ballast wagons. However, from 11:30am on Saturday until midnight on Bank Holiday Monday, if you order the 4 packs you will get them for the one time price of €400, representing a saving of €100! This offer will be available at the show and online. Packs are a limited run so order early to save and guarantee yours! So join us this weekend to see pre-production Ballasts, Bubbles and find out what project 3 is! We look forward to seeing you.

DiveController Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Looks great! Does the offer only apply to the Ivory bubbles or may those of us not modelling these order a rake of orange bubbles for the offer price and await delivery of the orange ones?

Noel Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Sounds very promising. Any rough idea of planned delivery date (i.e. +/-3 months)? Quote

Railer Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Just looking at the Bubble CAD, I'm assuming they will have the swan neck coupler like the Ballasts in the production version. Can't wait to see the samples of both for myself on Saturday. Quote

Railer Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I see the guys have the bubbles up for sale already including the 4 packs for €400 deal. It's not Saturday morning yet. Quote

DiveController Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I noticed that only one of the packs (A) has the Irish cement logo on the wagons. The remainder have CIE/indeterminate logos which I found interesting. I do seem to recall someone mentioning that the Irish Cement logo seemed to be less prevalent than one might have assumed. Can anyone elaborate on this please? Do you have any artwork for the bubbles yet? Could someone please remind me when this livery was first introduced/became predominant on the bubbles? Thanks, K Quote

Thanks, K Late 70s till the bitter end Kevin. Artwork is the next step. Very few actually ran with the Irish Cement logo. Quote
rebelred Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Full Rake Ordered, was waiting a long time for someone to do a run of these, great job lads, can't wait for them. Here's hoping ye do some bulk cements in future runs pleeeeeeease! Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks for the incredible amount of orders already everyone, the rake option is proving very popular and over 10% of the bubble run sold yesterday alone! Here's some pics of what you're buying, the painted sample was very skilfully done by our very own Glenderg hours before the show as the samples only arrived on Thursday evening! Quote
BosKonay Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Some additional CAD renders, pending close up shots of the EPs anon... Quote
Noel Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Thanks Stephen. The drawings are looking good. Are the bubbles and ballasts expected to ship at the same time? PS: FYI, for some strange reason Fran's two photos are appearing upside down on my Mac and PC, but right way up on my iPhone. Edited October 30, 2016 by Noel Quote
BosKonay Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Hi Noel, at the moment we're hoping we can have the Ballasts before year end, with the bubble shipment early in the new year. Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Great too see the bubbles are well on their way. Just too bad the weathered version wasn't accepted but that's democracy. Quote
BosKonay Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Great too see the bubbles are well on their way. Just too bad the weathered version wasn't accepted but that's democracy. There are several excellent weatherpersons on the site who can apply a suitable level of grime for you Quote
Junctionmad Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 How does the stage payment for the bubbles work. On the full Rake order there seems to be no option to stage pay , or maybe I'm missing it ? Ta Quote

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25694[/ATTACH] This certainly answers my earlier question about the CIE logo. The detail on the bubble is incredible when Do you the see orange it livery 'in first the remember, flesh' orange and first looking forward to it in Orange Edited October 30, 2016 by DiveController Quote
