AndyB Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 A very interesting edition - thanks to all the contributors and to Grahame for pulling it together. I particularly liked the racking article for baseboard supports. Like the author I've no connection to the particular supplier he used, but can confirm its a good quality product.

The correct cut-off date is 31 December 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct cut-off date is 31 December 2018. Actually AFAIA it's not a final cut off date, but the deadline for ordering at the early discounted price. It can still be ordered afterwards but at the full price. And, of course, only by members. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was that it was the same as happened for the Carflats, in that no further orders were taken until they were in stock and available for general sale. I will seek clarification on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following discussion with the Society Treasurer, I can confirm that after 31/12/2018 the 'order book' will close. After that date, member's will not be able to order or reserve any model until the models have been received and the pre-orders distributed. After that, the models will be on general sale.

RMweb Premium 5944 Posted January 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2019 Arrived in the post this lunchtime. Had a quick flick through - Flaxby looks good. I liked the Z article too.

grahame Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I purchased two 8Fs on eBay - one for the class Z and the other for a 7F to go under a partial kit that I've been promised in exchange for some photography. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nharding99 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The article on "Modelling with a Disability" was quite different from the usual articles on offer and though I am fortunate to enjoy good health, it helped me appreciate that that is not the case for everyone. It was interesting to read about useful medical aids too. A humbling article in my opinion and well done to Mr Faulkner for sending that in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted February 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2019 Arrived safely in West Yorkshire a few days ago. Flaxby looks like an excellent piece of modelling and left me wanting to see more of it. It's a shame that Grahame's still having to write two or three articles per issue. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
