Laser cut railings and ladders - sources?

Does anyone know of a good source for these in the UK? The postage from Germany and the Netherlands to Africa is prohibitive - around 15 pounds plus, which is ridiculous.

Kevin, I've got them in the past from www.marcle.co.uk (Marcle models). Mostly 1/200 as I recall. Yours Bailey

You are very much mistaken about postage from Holland / Germany to Africa. It is 5,70 EUR up to 250 grams, 10,40 up to 500 grams for letter size. Of course parcel size and registration make life more expensive. I advise you to look for the HMV railings etc. on my website, www.zeistbouwplaten.nl. If you are looking for other scales, mail me and I will probably be able to help.

Bailey - thank you.

Diderick. Thank you also. I will have a look on your site.

And Diderick note that I an NOT very much mistaken about the postage. That is perhaps an overly wrong way of putting it. Two German sites quote their starting postage for the first item as 15 and 20 Euros respectively. A Dutch site for 4 small models quoted 32 euros. I think those prices alone justify my comments, yes? The fact that you are charging a reasonable rate does not negate my comments.

Hi Kevin,
I understand - obviously they charge their own set prices. I simply go by actual postal service charges - depending on weight and size.

Diderick - thanks. That is the case!

It is good that you use the actual charges - certainly no grounds for complaint there!

Have a good evening get - what's left!
