Howzit sandman. There used to be a decent model shop in menlyn retail next to the golf shop. Don't know if he's still there though. Happy building.

Hi Sandman, I bought my pin vice and drill bits from Tool & Allied (Toolquip). They also deliver in JHB!!! The quality is OK but the price is really good. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Garth "Measure twice, cut once!!!"
Finished!!! HMS Victory,
Current build: Black Pearl.
On hold: Bismarck, Golden Hind, Flying Scotsman, Victory Cross Section, SOTS, Tiger 1.

Hi Garth,
I bought a pin vice from Jix last weekend and I must say I will definitely support them again! They were incredibly helpful and had a lot of expertise.
Will check out toolquip as well as there is still quite a few tools I would want to buy as my build progresses.
Regards
Hendrik

Hi All I make use of Jix in Pretoria. I am in a fortunate position, where I can order stuff from the USA and into is delivered to me here in Afghanistan. The online shops I use are Micromark and Amazon for the stuff that I cannot get at Jix as they cater mostly for aeroplanes, trains and R/C models. There are a lot of websites, but look around for the ones where the prices are acceptable and for bargains. Regards Andre Current Build: HMS Victory
Built: HMS Bounty
Next Build: Sovereign of the Seas Started collecting. Redrawing of plans for Santisima Trinidad for a scratchbuild. Santisima Trinidad - waiting for launch.
