What's the catch??
One day I'll build something I'm happy with - until then I'll just keep trying...

There isn't one, I have ordered a few items from Atlas, you get a load of papers with the model, asking you to have the next one at a reduced price, etc, but I just tick the 'NO' box and send the cheque for the payment, you won't get any other items sent from them.

You don`t always get the item you ordered either.
I ordered something last year (STOBART IVECO 1/50 SCALE. I THINK),And all I got was a small key fob/screwdriver set.

My Atlas arrived today, with details of all the next models






Scania is Karen Patricia H123( which has already been down with a fridge), MAN is supposed to be Mollie Ann although to me it looks like the XLX cab instead of the XXL

All made by Oxford Models

So, Atlas posted them out and within three days they're appearing on EBay at up to £34.50!!!!
Methinks truck driving is a poor profession compared to buying and selling??!!.......

So you've been there, seen the film, read the book AND worn the tee shirt and found it was't all its cracked up to be eh Pete? Oh dear! Hardest part of my current job is coping with all the health & safety rhubarb-and trust me, it is rhubarb!! [Not supposed to move fridges by yourself but it seems okay to move televisions solo?.......(guess which is the heavier)....]
There's another few versions of this model appeared on fleabay now, it is without doubt a nice model.
Must get my shed finished as that's going to be my modelling room........
