Absoloutely gorgeous.

That's the problem with coming to this site.  Makes me want to get into all sorts of eras and ranges that I have neither time nor money to.

Well done.

This is really nice.
I am surprised no-one appears to have asked already, do you have a link for the coach body? Where did you get it from?

Cheers
Scott

It's amazing how well black and gold/brass always goes together for Victorian stuff. Just gives that 'Gothic' flavour.  :)

Now, I must finish a couple of (or 3) small projects and get on with Chaos in Carpathia...  :?

No shipping outside the US  :?

EDIT:

I was actually considering buying a lot and breaking it up for offering to other members here, but when I have to contact seller to ask for the possibility of overseas shipping, etc., I really can't be bothered, as it is not an item I really NEED right now (just nice-to-have).

If anybody wants one PM me.  As I'm not too interested in them myself; If I get enough takers I can split them up for shipment to terra incognita.  ;)

Alright, I've got 3 takers already.  Anyone else? It looks like this guy combines shipping.  I don't mind helping.

OK.  You all have until July 8th to decide.  The seller is away for the holiday so not processing orders.  I will buy some on the 8th.  So any additional parties let me know.  The cost per coach should only be about $2.25.   I'll have to calculate shipping for each of your locations and I'll PM the total before shipping.   ;)

The Coach is only $2.25???  We are talking just the coach itself, no figures, no horses, I assume.  Even if it wasn't a scale I use I would have to get in on that "Just because" of the price. 

Postage to Saint Louis, MO, USA, please?  I have some mechanical horses I can strip off a VSF unit if needed...

Gracias,

Glenn

"5 NEW plastic silver coaches and white horses
Great for weddings and anniversaries
Great party favors just add sweets
Use as center piece or cake topper
5"long 3"tall 1/14"wide "

Eight dollars for the price, plus three for shippage, gives a total of $2.20, which is even sweeter than Dave suggested, but I'd hardly fault anyone for that math error. ;->=

Given how much I'm coming to hate shipping cross pond, I'm nominating the Doom meister for Sainthood. However, I know I'll be trying to pick some up on the 8th, and will see if there are any leftover seekers of the same laters.

I'm assuming the horses are s***e, but there ARE horses.

Course, I'll be swinging by Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, and Michaels to see if there are any there, and price compare. It's becoming embarassing how regularly I check the websites for coupons...

I think I'm interested - just for the sake of the price. And automaton horses are a must....
