    Etched Pixels is *CLOSED* thanks to Covid19. As an asthmatic the post office is now too scary a place to visit ;)

      I don't ship anything like enough for that. You have to ship above a certain volume. Thamls fpr the suggestion though.

      My sympathies. I've removed from sale the few items I had lurking on e-bay for the same reason.

      I had occasion to visit the local post office in Ivybridge yesterday. To my surprise, there was but one person at the counter when I went in and no one else. It's not that small a room, so you don't have to stand too close to anyone else.

       

      My sympathies to those who are unable to visit their POs, though.

    's wife is out so he can now deploy the superstrip and use the bathroom sink for cleaning up, providing the evidence vanishes before she returns anyway

      Both I suspect!. Stil got the glazing, minor paint fixups and compartments to finish on ex GCR coaches and a pair of non corridors done but not yet decalled.

      only 4 a true 2mm modeller would have placed 4 and dropped 54

    Another shapeways order, another shapeways problem

    1. 2mmMark

      2mmMark

      Sad, isn't it? There are 3 French metre gauge models which really appeal but I'm reluctant to spend 60 euros on what might be a substandard result.

      I've had no problem getting bad prints redone, they are very good about that. It's the problem that every order they seem to find a new inventive way to f**k something up differently

       

      This time it seems they've taken a block of six subtly different models extracted one of the from it and printed it six times (despite it being one stl upload)

      So if you're only talking in binary, that pretty much limits the conversation, I guess...
