Its a tough call on whether to order direct from the States. I assume looking at the dollar exchange rate you could expect to get it for £17 plus delivery. I reckon that might still work out cheaper than £27 plus his postage and packaging charge.

You're right, Sir, certainly at the present rate of the dollar (and if customs don't catch you  lol).  However, for these small private shipments, they only charge 10 Euro/parcel in this country (Belgium).

I certainly don't want to start an argument about this, but USD 35 = GBP 17 (minus 40-60% trade discount to OG UK...) + bulk transport + VAT.  He should be able to make a better price IMHO.

Certainly looks like ordering direct to the US is the best deal on the face of it - provided you don't get stung by UK customs when it comes into the country :(

Here is some minformation on the historical version, the Fowler armoured road train:

Looking at the OG model, I think that the wheels are going to have to be replaced, as well as some armour added to the wagon sides. Other than that this model looks to be very close to the original.

Does anybody know of a scale model of Cugnot's steam tractor suitable for 28mm?
