I think that you are right. Tomick is the boffin as far as I can see. I have been reading his build diary. I am trying to work out how to post pictures. I see that there is a block to attach files but nothing happens. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Dbonyx13 here from Graaff-Reinet. Very excited. Can't wait. Just wondering about the extra 15 issues. Will it be available in South Africa?

Now I have even more reason to smile. A 2 speed transmission and extra tyres  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

I must apologize when I said that Tomick was the boffin. He is, but I forgot about the other guys that are there to help us. They are; Warthog, stevie_o and arpurchase. Guys, please accept my humble apologies for leaving you out  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

I have a little niggle telling me that we will get our build monthly. That means I will have a fix for 1 weekend and then go cold turkey for the rest of the month It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Curiosity got the better of me so I went and bought issue one to get a taste of whats to come. So I have assembled what I could from Issue 1.

Looks good. I just built as far as the instructions in issue 1. Waiting for the subscription to start and I will take it from there. It seems that the front wing is a bit tricky. I will look at the build dairy again. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

I managed to get further than issue1's guide as I used Tomick's Diary to finish it. You will have to remove those base plates again so don't quite get why issue 1 gets you started on the build the way they do as you can complete the nose to the point I did with the parts supplied.

You'll find that some parts have to be removed to fit other parts later on, so keep an eye on my build and you'll able to see well ahead for how its taking shape.

Thank's for the heads up Tomick. So they are going to keep us on our toes I keep on looking at your diary so there should not be any problems. Famous last words  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Yeah I am rather going to follow the Diary as it is a nice chronological order of the build vs the guides. Avoids double work. I also dont like to do and undo screws for the sake of the plastic thread.

Hi
Hope you guys get all your issues. I am subscribed to the McLaren build and all though it ended months ago there are plenty of us still waiting for missing issues.
Anyway, good luck with the build. would have loved to be part of this, but I am not putting myself through the fighting for issues thing again...

We get our issues from Jacklin Enterprises and I had no hassles from them when asking for missing issues or parts. They always supplied in quick time so I am happy at the moment. We will be getting 4 issues per month so the radio should arrive after 6 months. https://www.jacklin.co.z...p?PubID=3&ProdID=475It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Just out of interest how much does it cost you in South Africa
per issue?

Hi Nightrider, well it costs us R140.00 per issue  and that comes to AU$14. I have just rounded the figures off and I hope this is of help. Our money against the US$ has just dropped  Now 14.77/$. I think that the fluctuations have been taken into account when the series was brought over here. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Just a thought, not that I have any brains to think with, will it be worth my while to rinse all the parts that we recieve in a solution of mild soap water? This is to remove any mold release agent on the parts. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop
