I just received mine (luckily HRH was at the hairdressers :cool: ) and a serious bit of kit it is too. Well engineered and superbly packed, I'm delighted and am sure it will look the perfect part once assembled and put in place. :thumbup:
Compared to other model bridges, either plastic or metal, I think it is excellent value.
Just a shame it is too cold out in the workshop to start spraying and assembling.
Has anyone else got one and want to add some remarks?
 
Somewhere along the line, I missed out on the fact he was actually going to make them available..... bah!:(

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I made it available as kit. I contacted everyone in a private who expressed interest in the original thread. But it is never too late.
 
Can anyone give me the name of a decent glue to use? I'm rubbish at soldering, welding or anything but drinking!
Ta mates,
Ian

Well whaddya know, they won't/can't send it by plane and we only have airmail from Blighty. 'Kin typical, even Maplins wouldn't send me an accu.

I know what you mean - we must have more ships treading water between mainland UK and Ireland than most countries surrounded by water - anything presurised, pasteurised, bast**dised or otherwise won't be sent across in case the carrier uses airfreight. What I want to know is how the foreign (UK et all) glues and solvents gets here. What does get here is sold at Irish retail prices (think of a number and double it, then add just a bit more in case).

And Maplins? Not in stock here, order from UK and pay 21% vat. Makes me mad (or is that madder than I already am?).

Hi Ian,

I assume you tried Google.de and got the same results as I did-all UK apart from a Canadian distributor ( as much use as a Chocolate Tea Pot ).
If you can wait until Monday I will ask my German Engineers. There must be something available over here. Aircraft are made in main land Europe and they are held together with glue and rivets :laugh:

Regards

Alex
 
Oh I found one in Holland, delivers to Holland, Britain and Flanders. How's that for a teapot?
I E-mailed Bond Loc to ask for an European distributor, so roll on monday.
:bigsmile:
 
Ian,

When I bought this I though that this is some special steel glue. But when I read the label it seems that it glues just about anything. So I am thinking if any two part adhesive would do or not...

Cheers,
Csongor

I have been busy putting more plans in CAD. It is far from complete but shows how it might look like one day.

Oooooooh, can I swap?
:bigsmile:
 
That doesn't surprise me, although the one I bought was relatively cheap.
Just out of curiosity how long is the Mk II bridge going to be? My garden is only about thirty metres long but I can't play with it all :crying:.

The middle section is 1.5 m (curved chord) and 1 m long sections (straight chord) on each side.
