Greetings all,

Just wenty on line to buy some Humbrol Paint as my Local Craft Shop has closed down.

Found a place called The Model Catalogue fine, had the paint, fine then went to the check out, now get this:

Paint 3 x 14ml £2.86p - OK No problemo (.95p ea OK)

VAT £0.99p - OK No problemo

Shipping £1.27p - WHAT!!! - maybe just.

Handling Charge £1.50p WHAT!!!!

Total cost £6.61p for 3 small pots of paint.

Well I didn't buy them, so does anyone know a UK Moldel Shop that stocks and supplies Humbrol Paint at a realistic price.

Cheers

Al

Al,

Better get a move on

I'm off to the LHS tomorrow
try F & F models, Hannants or anybody else via mail order

(I assume that you've seen the airfix threads, not a good day)
Cheers

Hi Al

£1.27 is what the Royal Mail now charges for a package over 100g

What colours you looking for?

David

Hi folks,

Craig, just read the post, sad news indeed.

David, I was after 2 x Matt Brick Red No 70 which is very close to red oxide for metal primer. (boat hulls and tracks)

Tried the Arts Shop, Wollies, and a War Gaming Place but they don't stock them, nor do Hannants, or any of my other usual suppliers.

Beatties no longer exists and Milton Keynes is a fair journey away for 2 pots of paint LOL, LOL.

If they are in liquidation they I might need to buy a few more LOL, LOL.

Cheers

Al

Hi Al

The model shop across the road from my office has a full range of Humbrol, if you remind me of your address I'll put it in the post tomorrow. Is it only the Matt 70 you're after

All the best

David

Sorry Al,

brain is not working at the moment, have had some problems with things
recently and should have offered to pick some up for you.

Cheers

Craig

Hi David,

PM on it's way to you. Many thanks that's great.

Craig, no probemo, that happens to me all the time :-) :-)


Cheers Folks.

Al

Hi Al

I'll be off up to the Post Office tomorrow morning

David
