Hi Folks, I I've long experience with model terrain making and so forth, so pretty confident I can pull out something that is half-decent. Plus I've acquired a few of the necessary materials such as Buckram, woollen felt etc along with a local carpenter who is happy to produce a hat block for me at...

Debs has made banners from cotton linen and silk all work it's the thinking through after made that usually influences the choice (oh and budget _

We have the same with deliveries which to be fair are usually a bit heavy couriers take one look at the stairs (which we successfuly carried up an industrial mac...

You may not be perfect Nigel, but IME you are pretty d@#$ed good. Thanks Alan Am wotking in the Wirrall so not at hom to verify but Debs assures me item in question was received back (in a badly dented box) unpacked checked and reposted by special delivery. We like heremes as they aren't afraid of ...

Iam guessing that this is Alan Hay ? The order was delayed slightly due to circumstances that were communicated. When ready the order was sent when we received final payment something that we unfortuantely have to insist on now due to a number of "lost" items over the last couple of years....

Re collars if youa re talking about the one's I think you mean then they are awful truly hideous. But remember some traders do not manufacture themsleves therefore they buy in and buy in what they think will sell at a good margin hence the large numbers of the same things you see at some markets. I ...
