I have attempted to contact Bowater Models several times over the past few weeks. No reply to anything I tried. Anyone know how to talk to them?

Thanks Phil. I tried the email address. I tried the contact/query form in your pic, and I messaged them on Facebook. Nada. Hence my question!

 

[PhilP]

Seems they have just posted a huge amount of stuff (copied from Facebook) onto a thread on the NGRM Forum.

They will supposedly be at the Llangollen show, early next month.
I could pass a message on, but you may be loath to deal, if you can't get a reply?

Thanks Phil. Please ask them to answer their d**m email, so I can deal with them!

Someone (with the seller name "angr607" unhelpfully) has just listed a large number (21) of unbuilt Bowaters Models kits on ebay recently . . .

It's just possible that it's a customer of Bowaters Models (who never gets round to building the very varied kits they have bought) . . . but my hunch is that it is Bowaters Models. You could try the "Contact Seller" link to find out (always assuming that you "do" ebay)! One review says "Great seller. Very helpful and quick to respond to questions".

Hope I've not made 2 + 2 = 5

Cheers

I'm pretty certain that is Bowaters - I seem to remember being cheeky about the 'angr' seeming 'angry

 

[PhilP]

That is Bowaters..

Have you tried this?

Yes, and thank you for the assistance.

The webstore is the same as on teir main website. It also has a Chat, which I tried a week or two ago. No answer there either!

Thanks for your message! We'll be with you as soon as we can. If you prefer not to wait, we'll follow up via the contact info you provided.

Thanks. I left a message.

My correspondence with Bowater was about one of the Fareham [FCWD] kits. When I realisedthe amount of work involved in making one (7 layers of varnish, etc.,) and that I had to order trucks and other parts from a laser operations company, a rough calculation said that the coach would cost at least £400, before shipping, and before I put in 100+ hrs work.
Maybe it's a good thing they aren't interested in my business.

I'd really like to contact Tony Armstrong (Mr FCWD) to ask him to make one for me - might be cheaper. But he's even more elusive - no contact info for him anywhere.

[P.S. My coach is still sitting in the basket waiting for checkout!]

That did it! Jon at Bowater emailed me after I left a message on eBay, so I now have a real email contact.

Many thanks to all for your help.
