Post by: rhydddu009 on February 03, 2009, 12:20
Hi,

does anyone know of a 4mm model that is close to representing the benches below?

Hi there,
Langley fret SLF028 has some with a similar overall shape &  seat slatting (Caledonian pattern), although the cast ends are far more intricate & there ain't no dragons ;D. Might be worth a look if your'e feeling brave!
As a bonus you get some very nice cast garden furniture as well :)

Regards

Ken

 I agree but don't get me started about shipping charges of any sort! I think some people just think of a number & treble it.
I've had packages delivered from Hong Kong cheaper than comparable items from within the UK - and faster!!!

Sorry about the rant - as an aside, what about a section within the forum for general discussion, but still with relevance to modelling. Or is that spreading the net too wide?

Regards
Ken

I agree completely and said so in a post that I put into the test area (look at the bottom of the forum), but sadly despite many views no-one who is able action my suggestion has read it - or at least they have not chosen to make any reply :(

Perhaps thye will now :)

by the way, I've found some lovely etched benches from a company called southwark bridge models - got them at railex. fiddly though!
