      Simon, you have my utmost sympathy as well as understanding. Having built one of these floppy whirly twirly things for the first ( and last) time, I know exactly what you have been through. Excellent job on this and welcome to the club!! :thumb2:

          Simon,
          Revell have not got back to me yet.
          On the other hand, Airfix responded regarding the Wellington MkVIII and I received the parts yesterday. What a difference in service!
          Ah well, here's hoping you get there in the end.

              Simon,
              Mine arrived in the post today - a full sheet, not just the ones I needed. Appreciate the heads-up.

                      The turf is doing very well, Simon. Love the instant effect of close turfing. That's certainly nice place to have if you a big dog as pet.

                        Unusually we had a fantastic sunny day saturday and we watered it in as we went (overly) over cast today and luckily the forecast is rain for the next few days so hoping it will get a great start

                            Simon,
                            Love the lawn. Are you planning to do a pin wash in the panel lines? :tears-of-joy:
                            Bet you're glad of the day's rest now!
                            Regards,
                            John
