Richard de Florennes Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Received a number of new Britains items last week, and when trying to get the implements out of the boxes and wires I discovered that I needed less and less time for every new box (it were four boxes) due to a "learning effect". Maybe an idea to make a competition: How long do you need to get an item out of a brand new closed Britains box? My best time so far were three minutes for a new "John Deere" coloured Marston trailer without any scratch on the item of course. What are your best times?

Richard de Florennes Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I use wire cutters....is that allowed? Yes, you can use what ever you want; the only condition: the implement must remain undamaged and the box in at least fair condition (picture proof ;-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm in, I reckon 10 seconds is ample time to de-box and de-wire a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
