Hi,
Is it possible to make a mould of one similar and reproduce it?

Macs Mouldings sell 1:12 Tamar window sets. If you ask him nicely he might sell you some individual spares.

tamar 1 .12th window set ordered on jan 25th 2025 and paid for spoke to adrian who has not been very well one would have assumed the items requried are advertised  on their web site as being avalible a stock item in the meantime if anybody as spares please let me know as i only need 6 window parts hope fully adrian says he will make them today thanks howard66spary

Just out of interest is Speedline selling kits or what's happening? I do believe that they had a fire.

[howard66spary]

Thanks for the reply   Yes speedline did have a fire quite some time ago the problem is that according to adrian the windows have changed slighty and the parts i require may not match to what i have  at the moment only need 6 parts at most as i have 90 percent of original i think i can get a set from macs mouldings but detail is not as good as speedline windows  which are one of the stand out parts yes i could get over it but it would be nice to have the origanal superb windows  my main gripe is that they produced a new kit after the shannon so as they are advertised on the web site they should be avalible from stock when i spoke to adrian he said that a set would be on fourteen sheets i know some of the parts are diffrence in thickness but i am sure there could be a way over it                                  Thanks for your reply howard66spary

Ah right I see. I have the 1:12 Severn unbuilt as of yet and I'd think I have the original window set as about 6 parts to each window absolutely brilliant when built but very fiddly to do apparently but I can't comment on that. It is a shame speedline seems very difficult to deal with or get of kits as they really are superb kits. You seem to hear a few times people have placed an order paid then don't hear from them for months on end.
