no you guys will get stuff cheap just pm us as usuall.
just cause the stuff is selling on ebay we still haven't changed !!!!
favours , swaps, and generally helping each other out with our own model collections still applies..

as i have said in the past and will say again , i will help ANYONE on here if i can ,
i draw inspiration from everything you guys do on here and use this thread as a reference guide for models and designs.
we thought it was about time some of the harder exspensive things to buy were more available and cheaper too.
everyone on here will get a good discount on anything on the ebay page we sell ,
just drop me or dave a pm and we will sort it out for you.
no big plans for listing models just going to concentrate on producing as much as we can on the modding side.
