Blimey, I'm really touched Jamie. Thank you. And thanks also to the rest of you nutters out there that have kept me going! Those words have done more to wipe away my tiredness than any amount Red Bull!

I'm sorry you are having a rough time I'm sure things will turn around. If my efforts have done anything to put a smile on your face then it really has been worthwhile. And....you're a Brit!! I had no idea. Great stuff. Next time you are in old London town I would be honoured to sink a couple of pints with you and talk about this crazy hobby. One of the nicest things about this little adventure is getting in touch with like minded, and very talented people.

Thanks again, and May the Force Be With Us All !

Nick

Wow - I too echo the gang when I salute Jamie (and you!) for excellent words, work, inspiration.... truly talented people from such disparate backgrounds and geographical locations, all coming together over the love of the same beautiful models... amazing!

I love it Nick and your paintjob is up to ILM standard, really !
The speeder is not an easy model and you nailed it perfectly (I dont know how you did to ID all those parts !). I love this model (well Im a TESB guy, love all the TESB models but the AT-ST and the Cloud Car) so thank you so much !

Had to bump this baby to the front! Any updates on movement :confused

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Thanks.

I've just been producing my second set of pulls and de-bugging the moulding process a bit more. I'm not set up like some of the others on the board like Steve N in terms of vacuum/pressure casting and its quite a challenge to produce parts up to the spec I want. A few parts are actually quite a pig to do.

I'm also 3/4 of the way through the instructions. I really want these done up front so I can email over the pdf's before the kit arrives so folks can start to peruse what they will be getting. I've also ordered the sets of magnets used in the airbrake rigs, and the boxes for shipping. Need to sort out the best way to package things etc

I will be contacting the first people on my list in the next couple of weeks - just hope folks still have some hard earned cash left to splash!

How about a list so we can see where we are on the list?

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Thanks for the update. I can definately say my hard earned $ is put aside for these baby's :cool

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Thanks for the continued support. I just wish I had more time spare during the evenings to finish everything. A week off from work would sort it all...ah well.

Jockdeboer: er, don't forget you are on the backup list so I'm afraid there is ways to go before I get to you. Sorry....

 

[jockdeboer]

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

No problem, I look forward to getting one, one day!

 

[Wombat]

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Well,i'm ready when you're ready Nick.
I'm still looking forward to getting it and for the first time i've actually measured out how big it is.WOW,that really is impressive mate!!
I was a late comer also,so i'll be way down that list as well,but it's a list i'm very glad that i was able to get onto and when that day comes i'll be stoked!!

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Gday Nick, just giving this a nudge & hope we may get another update in the next day or so :love

Well, I hope you guys have big letterboxes!

I'm including a parts checklist as there are just so many to keep track of. I've also attached here a page from the Instructions to show you how they are looking.

A touch of class mate, perfect all the way.

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Even the instructions look sweet.
Nice little photographs...nice font.
Praying my name is higher on the list cause I'd love that puppy sooner than later.

Great work again!
