Shipping was also very cheap in my opinion, around $78 for 2 shuttle kits & a pod all in one large box with plenty of packing inside. Considering it cost me £146 to send my Probe Droid to australia with relevant insurance it is a bargain. If we had gone with the bulk shipping it would still cost $45-60 from the UK & the wait time will be much longer, I only think it would've worked if they were all distributed in the same country? :unsure

Great! 
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with your shuttles Guy. You're doing lights right? Any motors? If you have any questions that you think I may be able to help you with...just ask.

Thanks Neil, I have a feeling there will be a stream of emails coming your way
I am going to tackle lights for the first time, no motors though thats a little too adventuress at the moment.
Rich, just checking on these parts below that are circled, do they come with the kit or are they to be scratched, I dont think they were included & they're not visible on the the kit layout on a previous page?
Cheers Guy
Hi Rich, still no news on these kit parts? Do they need to be scratched or should they be with the kit? Cheers Guy
Yes, they're going out slowly.
I sent you a PM with info on how to get the kit.
Thanks

MY KIT ARRIVED!!!!
Let me state that this kit ROCKS! It looks like plastic injected! CRISP... and CLEAN!!! There are a few parts still en route to me but I have to compliment all involved... from it's creator Neil, to it's kit designer Richard... and to Dana... the person who laid up, cast it, and delivered it timely! Pure professionalism to the last!
As soon as the other parts arrive I will be sending them to the shop to be built! I can't wait!

Here are a few pics of Rich's model. I've just set the parts on top of each other, hence they look unaligned.
This should be a challenging build, but that is what makes this fun. Other than replacing the cast barrels with brass amd a few minor air bubbles that should be easy to fill the kit is perfect. Thanks Rich!
