There is a chap who sells lots of Pendraken resin on eBay - he has good photos generally and I think has a landing craft up currently.

Yes. Was only pointing him out as a source of photos not of good deals. PD postage is normally 5%.

Yeah spotted another guy who busts up the excellent £18 army deals from this guy http://www.warrioronline.demon.co.uk/ into 3 Buy-it-nows for about £30 plus the usual P&P rip off. I suppose its people to lazy to do a bit of web surfing that allow these people to make money from others hard graft.

Our local one was worse - re-castsing and selling as originals, refusing to pay for delivered goods,as hadn't arrived, they had !

Avoid Heathsceneray and lizheath2010, think 1st has been shut down already but.....

IanS  >:(

He does have some great pics of the resin items, I'll have to ask if we can borrow them!

Steer clear of this guy, I purchased some resin items form him and they were copies and bad ones at that. Because I was getting some stuff and the postage was quite steep for what I was getting I asked if he could add an army pack of FPW Bavarians. I was told they were new and unopened. They may have been new but not for a very very long time. they were the old castings. The resin was also very poor and not up to any form of professional standard. So I would avoid him.

Which guy do you mean?  The seller in fred12df's link above is fine, we sell directly to him quite regularly.

On it's own, it should be just the minimum of 50p to the UK.

Hello Leon

It was him, I also let Dave know at the time - I was very disappointed by what I got from him so I will never get anything else. I have got resin pieces from you and the one I get from him was so bad it was a copy of the barn I'm sure. I have already mention about the army pack. The other items, not Pendraken ones were also in a poor state, but buyer beware on ebay. So now I just let people know to be careful of the stuff. Everything else I have got has been direct from Pendraken with no issues. It was not a small amount of money either so I feel justified.

Have to say I just bought a 1/144 scale aircaft from the ebay guy and thought cost etc was reasonable and quick turnaround.  Cant speak for the resin items but my experience I wouldnt have an issue dealing with him
