I receieved a shipping acknowledgement this morning.
So now we just play the waiting game.

And stock up on paint....

Perhaps they put our money on the stockmarket between order and shipment to get money for their free shipping loss ;-)
HLJ has always been slow on shipping out our most wanted goods.

Looks like they are not really capable to keep up with their own special offers.
I was starting to get worried that something went wrong with my order.

Off topic: We should update our list of online stores, a few have closed out, and there are a few new ones too.

Just been delivered.

Some interesting items from AdlersNest here (armour detailing section!).
These rivet heads are size S (.6mm) and SS (.4mm) - the cut off rods look as if they could also be useful. I usually make rivets with my punch set, but it only gets down to 1mm. At 1/24 scale that's about 1 inch (or 2.5mm), which is still too large for some detail areas.

These bolt heads are M(1 mm) and SS (.6mm) Cut them flush for a bolt, or leave a bit of the rod on for a protruding bolt/nut.

I always thought that 1mm in 1/24th scale translates to 2.4 cm in 1:1 scale.

BTW just found out that they have a problem with my PayPal payment. PayPal will not clear the payment because the shipping address and the PayPal address are not within the same country.

Never heard something stupider, and never had this problem until today in several years using PayPal and HLJ.

Jeez you guys are quick! As I was editing I saw your posts coming through - couldn't type fast enough.

I also just checked and the bolts I ordered are 1mm and .6mm - much more useful.
