James90012 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This short supply in the RTR market has really sent the Second Hand market barmy.

Smiffy2 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've just been dithering about buying a very nice Dapol Terrier in Southern (which don't seem to appear very often) for 70 notes. That looks like a right bargain now... (I bought it). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Someone bought them! I am not surprised. The tooling to produce models of that quality must be costly. basic steps needed are 1. Load up hot melt glue gun 2. Heat up 3. Squeeze trigger 4. Stretch extrusions to the shape you want before glue hardens 5. Remove glue and insert coloured crayon. 6. Push coloured crayon through glue gun and spread onto the extruded figure (1-4) Voila. possible uses for figures include 1. Face down in water 2. Cemetery scenes (in sealed caskets) 3. Positioned in coaches in the wc cubicles (obscure glazed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the 'improved' version of the 'bendy' Rovex one mentioned above (also available in green and in warped acetate).
