Hi all. Iv'e mention this website before When I found Grapnel anchors for Capt Stedders but never dealt with them But I can now confirm they are very good and cheap. If you are willing to wait 4 days for delivery then they are sound.

Online hobbies .com

Here is what I ordered. (ordered last Monday got it last Friday)
Amati lecy plank bender, Amati Master cut, 100 Tanganyka planks and some thread.
I saved £18 on Cornwall models. Even delivery was cheaper and it had to come by plane...lol

Just ordered more stuff yesterday, Email this morning says despatched already.
Get this one for a laugh,
100 1x5x500 Tanganyka planks with postage and vat € 19.20 = 16.1409117 UK£

50 1x5x1000 Tanganyka planks with postage and Vat £ 20.50 BUT because the planks are 1000mm there is a £2.95 surcharge because of the size. so is £23.45.

Most things are cheaper than here in the UK and the delivery charge is cheaper as well. Its up to you but this site is a real alternative to any UK store.


On the bench

1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
