Title: Backwoods Miniatures "Hints & Tips" flyer?
Post by: Tom Haythornthwaite on November 15, 2013, 15:34
My Backwoods Miniatures Hudswell-Clark 0-6-0 kit instructions mention a "Hints & Tips" section, which is not included.  I'm a beginner and I need all the hints and tips I can get.

Backwoods have said they might scan it for me (there is no postal service where I live) but it does not seem to be forthcoming.

What the instructions do include is a suggestion that rivet/bolt detail be embossed prior to snipping etched components.  This means I cannot currently move forward.

Could anybody who has it very kindly send me scans?  I should not realistically think there would be a copyright issue...

Tom - I looked through my two remaining Backwoods kits and found one of them has a hints and tips section. I assume this is the same you need. I uploaded it here (http://www.009dutch.nl/oddphotos/hintsandtips.pdf). If you click the link you should be able to download it as a PDF page.

Dear Ted,

Marvelous!  Thank you very much.

Backwoods actually told me this afternoon that they will send the scan ... but you've ensured that I can make progress tonight.

My original post was not quite clear that I was stumped by not knowing how to emboss rivets.  Now I can move onward and eventually provide something for people to count...

This OO9 society is wonderful.  I look forward to being able to return some favors.

tom

Do us a favour and show how you will get on with that kit. Any questions, ask around!

Hello Ted

If it is not too much of a bother, can I trouble you to see if you still have a PDF of that Hints & Tips flyer from Backwoods?

The PDF link you posted (two years ago) is no longer valid.

No worries if you no longer have that document!

Regards, Harry

Harry -  apologies for not reading this before, you should have dropped me a PM. I found the PDF you were asking for and reinstated it.

The link now should work.
