True Neil, gribs knows the crack.
he's doing a fine job of the trent as you can see on my site or lifeboats 24/7.
When i was ordering bits for the trent from adrian, i found him to be a nightmare to get hold of and there was no organisation as such in regard to actually sending out the parts needed.
Grib will tell you the hassle it was to sort out the brass etchings as i delivered the kit to him mid trying to sort the correct ones myself.
I've learnt alot about modelling in the 3/4 models i've built in a small amount of time and my skills have drastically increased but i dont think i'd be able to build a speedline kit, although i do fancy a severn.
Atleast there are instructions with the tamar, unlike the trent and severn which are assisted scratch builds.
Not sure anyone knows but models by design actually make the hulls for adrian and he basically doubles the price on everything he pays for. I'm not going to go down the slagging off route here as its unfair but ive heard russells issue time after time.
