Thanks Tony I will do my best.

Know what you mean about Westbourne Model Shop, so much stuff there it was always going to be impossible not to come away with an arm full of bits. I have not been to many model boat places but have not seen such a huge collection of parts and kits before. Well worth the trip over there.

Hello Ian, good luck with your venture, just enjoy it, it only becomes life threatening if you empty the bank balance! Don't think you can come across ANYTHING that the folks on here can't help you with. By the way Westbourne models is probably the best model boat shop I've ever visited more than once - and I'm from the Midlands, do miss trying to see Barry through the 'fog' at the back of his shop  - bless him.

                       Keep us posted, we love pics, regards, Tony.

Hi Rich', yes so I believe, his sons seem to be doing a fine job having taken over the reins I hear. Not so many true model shops around now where the propietors both know what they sell and more so know what they're talking about. Most of them have probably all been mentioned somewhere on this forum.

   See ya, me.
