    Order Query

    in RAM Models

    Posted

    I have no issues or outstanding orders with this trader BUT communication is the key to the problem.

    How long does it take to reply as per the above customer or send out a broadly based e mail to those waiting paid for orders? We are a sympathetic and understanding community here BUT again these issues have been going on for months now(and I have picked up the same problem with this supplier on another forum as well) I have my doubts over this trader and I hope I am proved wrong and you all get your orders or a refund quickly bu I am long in the tooth and am not holding my breath on this.

    To RAM Models if you are genuine get on and sort it out fast or you will not have a business.Hiding from or ignoring problems only make them larger. I have had my own business for 30+ years(now retired thank goodness!) so Communication and honesty is the key belive me I know!

    Any chance of a view of the boat as she stands now Kev?

    With my useless "B" hands this is the closest I can get to seeing my favourite boats! No modelling for me until the New Year(Doctors strikes permitting.

    I even have to drive my car with a suicide knob now!

    It goes without saying your work is incredible as always.

    Jaguar MK11

    First that is a cracking build and it brings back a lot of memories. I have had four 3.8's one 240(last of the line(outwardly it had thinner bumpers) and a 3.8 S type 1965 CAE 38C I wonder if it still exists? All bought in the 1970's and the most I paid was £80 for one. The XJ6 came out in 1968 and the mk2 was dead as for market value. I loved them and turned a profit on all but one which I scrapped for parts.

    To make just a couple of observations The bumpers need attention as they are too low and sag(Having tried to refit the bloody things on the real one single handed it should be a breeze for you) if you want to super detail it there is a radio ariel on the front wing next to the drivers quarter light.

    The spats on the rear wheels were always a nuisance and never fitted properly. I used to bin then and use a little fillet instead. If you want to rescribe it I would tend not to do it you model is fine and it is very nice to see. I hope you don't mind my comments and a trip down memory lane.

    The Inspector Morse car is an abortion with that vinyl roof(never a Jaguar option) and whoever did that needed shooting. Steels are the poor mans version I would stick to wires. Still its your model so I will shut up now!

    To Roy

    As an old gaffer of 71 I have had a lot of Jags namely an XK140 bought from a widow who wanted it gone for £180 XK 150, MK 7, MK10 and series one XJ6 with rotten front wings but reliable and a 1970 Fixed Head E type new(Inherited money) Still I an happy with my V8 Soarer now for comfort

    Sorry I have rambled off again, I must have forgotten my medication.(if I had kept the above lot I would have a private Nurse to see to me) :bouncy::winkgrin:

    Just finished that MTB as the picture you sent me Kev showing her on builders trials. Hands preclude me from modelling any more until I have cortisone injections in both wrists(carpel tunnel syndrome) Still it gives me time to work out where to put a shelf for it. Pictures will have to wait as one of my cars needs two rear tyres at £190 each! so the camera is dropped down the list.

    BTW when you make the heads will the toilet paper be on a roll with perforations or the sheet type in a little box? :winkgrin:
