1st obvious question; Is it any of you chaps?
Failing that, have any of you seen or owned anything from them. They have some very reasonably priced VBCW vehicles on Ebay that are already painted.

Good idea, send your painting to the third world.

I believe Colin Ashton of the blog Carryings on up the Dale uses them for a lot of his projects.

I've chatted with them at a couple of shows and they seem OK. And the buildings I looked at were fine. If there's ever any problem I can always pay them a visit....

Or send Norm if it's a really bad problem.

Or send Norm on a short city break. That should scare anyone...

The age of some of his recent victims, it's starting to scare me.
Yes, I've always thought with these Sri Lankan things, what do you do if they never send your figures back. I have a picture of me with a mattock handle and an overnight bag and the immigration official asking "Purpose of your visit sir?"

The Fernando guys (girls mostly!) are pretty reliable. I know someone who's used them a lot & is very happy.

I've always had a mind to set up a sweatshop in Bolivia to do my painting. Got to get me to Chile first.
