What surprises me is...Steve's Wargaming Stuff,<br /><br />What surprises me is how variable the stock in their branches can be. My local branch - Crayford - had almost no basswood last time I visited but the Orpington branch had loads ... but no wooden RMS <i>Titanic</i> kits. The Maidstone branch had plenty of basswood sheets but very little other basswood ... but did have four wooden RMS <i>Titanic</i> kits.<br /><br />Their pricing is also on the high side, but as it is my only source of some of the materials I use, I am rather stuck with having to use them for the time being.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-56594830281457728292012-03-18T20:21:34.349+00:002012-03-18T20:21:34.349+00:00I too was in Hobbycraft today (Gateshead) and I mu...I too was in Hobbycraft today (Gateshead) and I must admit I'm more and more disappointed with their selection of modelling goodies every time I visit.
