Just north of London UK
£265 + postage and packaging

I am wanting to do another run of my shells + extras. Id like to guage if there is enough interest before I proceed. Im based just north of London UK. I have done many runs on these boards before... a search will bring up my old threads. Strong fiber glass pack shells made to Stefans plans plus resin casts of the N-Filter, HGA, Bumper, Booster, Ion Arm, PPD, Filler tube, Beam line and Injector tubes.

As with all fiber glass casting there are some very minor imperfections in each shell... however these are very few and far between. Once again I will address anything which cannot be easily and effectively filled with car body filler.

Each shell will need to be sanded and finished before painting, they are raw casts after all. The resin extras will also need a sand and finish before attaching/painting.

As with before I will take the excess off the back, however they will require some further sanding to get them perfectly flat.

The holes on the N-Filter will need drilling out, however they are very thin ready for drilling. The Cylontron and Power Cell holes on the shell will also need to be drilled out.

I package in strong double cardboard boxes in bubblewrap.

If I can get enough interest id love to start a For Sale thread. Do a run of 10.

Jon

Are all the resin parts (bumper, booster frame, ion arm, etc. etc.) included in the price?

I built my pack for one of these a few years ago, and I have to say the quality was outstanding. And for the price you can't beat it.

Wow. Your booster tube and bumper look amazing! If I wasn't going for the aluminum stuff, I'd be jumping all over yours!

Though... that's probably the best non-aluminum ion arm ive seen.. is it hollow cast or solid?

Frankly, I am surprised no one has expressed interest in this yet. It is a nice shell, and I have yet to see any negative remarks toward it or Sevv.

Thanks for the interest. Last time I did a run shipping within the UK was about £25, Europe £45 and to the States was around £90 :( . I'll pop into the post office on Saturday to ask... hopefully it's gone down. It's amazing how much more it costs to ship over the pond. I am trying to find cheaper shipping alternatives.

Yep, as Mike said everything you see you get.

Thank you IPv6Freely... most of the pieces are hollow to reduce weight but parts like the bumper are solid. The ion arm is hollow yes.

Thanks for the info Mike.

Sevv, I am interested. :)

Can you estimate how much shipping to Finland would cost?

Sevv, unfortunately I found out I can't participate in your run. I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. :(

Curious, but what is the estimated time frame for delivery? This doesn't change my interest in the least, but again simply curious.

Thats great. When I ship I use a 'USA garanteed up to 7 days delivery'. However from experience it can take up to two weeks. Go postal service :)

I do provide a tracking number so they can be followed but unfortunatly as soon as it leaves my hands I cant do anything about it.

Cool, again I'm fine with that, what I was really curious about though is when do you think they will be ready to ship? Also, what would you suggest for a motherboard?

Right guys I have shipping costs. I went to the post office yesterday.

UK - Tracked / Signed For / Compensation 48 hr delivery (from experience they can take anywhere from next day delivery to a week): £20

Europe - Basic shipping: £52
- Tracked / Signed For / Compensation 7 day service (from experience it can take anywhere up to 2 weeks to arrive): £76

USA - Basic shipping: £66
- Tracked / Signed For / Compensation 7 day service (from experience it can take anywhere up to 2 weeks to arrive): £95

It appears UK shipping has gone down slightly. Unfortunatly shipping abroad has gone up, it was explained to me prices went up late last year :( Usual UK tax increase is always helpful.

As for when the run will be ready to go, this is of course if I get enough interest :) I have decided to remake my master mould from a shell I cast today... having a full time job it should take me just over a week to tidy it up. I was going to remake the mould regardless of this run so if I get enough people interested I hope to start making the shells in just over 2 weeks. Ready to ship end of Feb early March.

As my shells are to Stefans plans... any motherboard cut to those same plans should work fine.

Cheers

Going to be pretty disappointed if this doesn't garner much more interest. This is is a great looking product, and everything you have mentioned so far sounds very reasonable.

Damn, I've been waiting for Sevv to start a new run on these packs. If it was a month I'd have snapped it up but I just don't have the cash now. Such a shame. I hope others take advantage cause that is a damn good deal.

Im looking at getting one of these. Would the mobo's that MMM makes fit these? and where do I get the allen bolts that go on the HGA? Also where could I get acrylic lenses that fits this?
