Where can I buy a 28mm Tembe?

[cram]

As the title says, where can I buy a 28mm Tembe of good size and quality? I've tried searching the internet but have had no joy so far.

Many thanks Marc.

Just to check: "a people that is a northern Malay branch of the Sakai", yeah?

Not aware of any these days.

Steve Barber Models used to make one, but it is long out of production. Wish I'd picked one up myself, when they did them.

This thread reminds me of one of my own. Here's the lowdown on what happened to the Steve Barber one, courtesy of our very own Lowtardog, from a five-year-old thread:

I knew we had talked about it some time ago

This long-running thread has lots of pictures of tembes, plus some WIP shots to give you some ideas if you are up to the challenge of building your own (personally I was always too lazy):

I know that's not what you wanted, but it's all I've got, unfortunately. Don't think any are available commercially, unless you get very lucky on eBay, or get some talented soul to scratch-build one for you.

Not sure if he still makes it, but maybe worth asking Andrew at CSC?

But quite easy to scratch-build: there's a thread around here somewhere with photos for inspiration, and a google of 28mm Tempe will give you several versions to choose from.

[Plynkes]

Sweet. I can't believe I never saw that before. I've bought stuff from him in the past, as well. I guess it must post-date my days of searching for a tembe.

That CSC Tembe looks nice! Thanks.

Serves me right for trusting Google

Funny you bring this up. I contacted Andrew last week re making me a tembe. Haven't heard anything back from him yet. Perhaps he's on holiday.

[cram]

axabrax if you would mind could you keep us updated on that please?

[sjwalker51]

Andrew's just listed a rather nice African mission station on EBay - might be a good opportunity to (re) contact him regarding a Tembe as well?

Not entirely right and 1:72, but it might work for you.
