A freebie from Gaugemaster

[dseagull]

The 8th (at present!) scrolling ad on the centre of http://www.gaugemaster.com/index.html is for a free sample of the Noch Laser-Cut Mini range.

 

I ordered my sample on Friday afternoon, and it arrived this morning - as an SSAE is required, yours may take longer if you put a second class stamp on it!

 

Anyway;

 

The full range, complete with some superb pictures showing the detail is here

 

My sample was Rhubarb! - Not sure if it is a random choice, or if everyone will get Rhubarb (but no custard) - but at this 'price', you can't complain at all

 

Seeing the quality of this sample has already got me considering if I could squeeze part of an allotment onto my new layout, so the marketing works!

 

No link with Gaugemaster, just a very satisfied 'customer' for this freebie.

Six cabbages for £5.50 - they're more expensive than the real thing!

Um, I'm being an idiot. There's two 'sprues' (for want of a better word!) in the sample pack. One is two Rhubarb plants, the other is 4 lots of Reeds!

 

Even better freebie than I thought. Will make one of each up later to see how they look.

Noch themselves were giving the same away earlier in the year and post free from Germany.

And here's a reed - testing the Macro mode on my mobile phone camera. This is about 10 times life size - the longest central 'stem' in reality is 2cm.

 

Would probably look better planted on a layout than on my desk too

What are they laser cut in? The ferns look good but I think i'll save some cash and get my own done!

Appears to be thick paper/very thin card - fairly flexible, but tear-resistant apparently.

Thanks.
