THEBRITFARMER Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Oh dear, any particular reason why? Anyone else doing them? I'm not sure why, guess the business wasn't there There is a company in the US though that are agents but they just sell the moulds so you can cast your own. They are expensive though.

They are expensive though. Yer I can imagine. I can remember some very nice kits on that site and weren't too badly priced either. Anyone got any photos?

Deere-est Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The author and the Topic ring a bell. .. .. I just can't seem to put the two together. . Nice to see some advance being made in the building buddy. I like the woden door/window frams. Hope you manage to get something sorted out for blocks. Luckily I have mine finished but I can see what an absoloute ass it is not to be able to get Scaloox as readily now. Fantastic stuff it was/is too.

Add a bit of scaffolding, wheelbarrows, pallets of bricks etc..and you'd be all set. Probably be much quicker for you to do that than finish it :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
