Awesome work, your rear wing looks 100% better than the kit parts. I have a number of ACE kits and they need a lot of work, particularly the white metal parts so I can see the work you have put in just to make them useable is amazing. I look forward to your progress, it may inspire me to break out my Brabham BT45C. Cheers, Stuart

I've just had a delivery from this company on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANYCUBIC-Rigid-Resin-Gray-500g-1000g-for-LCD-DLP-SLA-3D-Printer-Photon-Mono-X/184523534553?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=692233197795&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 5 x 1litre bottles for £25.75 each. Delivery was fast and although the company is registered in China, the parcel was sent from the 4PX warehouse in Southall (same one that Anycubic uses). So no import issues. Cheers, Stuart

I bough these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08GS49L5G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They even come with a collapsible silicon funnel.

I use Imgur so I checked my own threads, Only links shown, no pictures. I logged into Imgur to check the pictures and I get a whole load of blank pages instead. I would say it's definitely Imgur causing the issue (probably). Stuart Edit: I just checked the Imgur site here UK Users Using TalkTalk ISP Unable to View Imgur Images – Imgur I do indeed use TalkTalk.

I used to think decals were exempt, but the last time I checked they attracted VAT at 20%. Check the commodity code on the Gov website below. https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/4908 As far as I can determine they changed from 0% Vat to 20% in about 2011/2012. Stuart

Thanks for your input Simon, I think one thing Pocher needs is a brand manager to promote the name. I love the 72D and am looking forward to seeing the end result. Also excited to hear what the next kit will be. Cheers, Stuart

I'm surprised that more hasn't been said about this news, it's a very exciting change off direction for Pocher (if it happens!) Despite having a couple of the Entex kits I've put a pre order in with Pocher, but it's going to be a long wait. Stuart

All of their Blakes 7 models originated as TitanFind kits made by John Archdeacon. Very good models that were mastered by Alfred Wong I think. I bought a Liberator from John in 2005 and also have his Scorpio, a couple of Chase craft and a couple of Federation pursuit ships. All fantastic kits and well worth getting hold of and a good price from Masterpiece models. Stuart

Hello Ben, I find they are much the same, I slightly prefer the Elegoo as I have had less print failures using it. This however may be down to my settings on the printer being better for Elegoo. I have mixed the two with no issues as well, they are different formulations as the Anycubic resin Fluoresces under the UV lamp whereas the Elegoo doesn't. I only really use the grey so I can't comment on the various colours available of either manufacturer. Hope this helps. Regards, Stuart

I think Amazon has some of the various colours of Elegoo resin in stock, just not the grey. Stuart

Before the Covid restrictions Pat also sold in person by appointment. He is very approachable and has a huge stack of kits. Give him a ring.

Nice, I love PM kits.

I've had the same lately, I use the text authentication to simplify things. I think this may be a regular thing from now on though.

Much better, not sure who the one on the left is meant to be but the replacement is defo Harrison.

I've had some success straightening parts by clamping them flat to a piece of glass and exposing them to UV again. Maybe worth a try? Stuart.
