La Conversation, News from Troop54

I agree with Stuart, we send kits to Europe on a regular bases and do the same tick gift, Ultra low value and we have not had a problem, so far. We also have outlets in various European countries if it’s an issue.

So as Stuart indicates it’s a bit of a myth about customs if the seller puts the relevant info on the customs ticket. But again it’s all down to the customer if they want to take a chance.

Very nice vignette by the way well done to both you and Nello.

How do I pre-order for the second batch? Do I just email Stu? Can’t do it through the website as it’s sold out. I really do not want to miss out on this release.

As an aside comment/thought: have you ever considered offering the digital file for sale/download for people with access to 3-D printers? A pal of mine here has invested in a 3-D printing station and scours the internet for digital figures to download (purely digital files that are offered for sale from the artists themselves or from trusted and reliable vendors like El Greco as an example). I usually prefer traditional cast figures, but I’ve seen some of the figures my friend has printed and the detail is amazing, and it might alleviate some of the wait times between first and second batches? Just a thought.

More kits ard coming in October.
No body won't get one. The kit is in production and I will continue to cast it until sales stop.

I will never sell stl files of my work. Too risky. Like handing a recaster your master.

Unfortunately I can't do preorder anymore due to being a limited company and paypal considering I am a drug lord money laundering thief. Buisness ain't buisness until you deal with woke.
Happy days

Now that's the way to run a railway! And music to the ears of those of us who missed out on batch no. 1.

Exactly that. Always baffles me how so many people just don't get that.

That's great to hear Stu, I will be eagerly awaiting the next batch then, and I promise to make you proud once it's painted up.
Also appreciate your take on the STL file thing, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay in business. And with this release, I think business will be very good indeed.

Hi - just to make an important clarification. El Greco Miniatures do NOT sell STL files. We purchase Merchant Licences from the artists to print the 3D models for customers. We ONLY sell the 3D-printed kits to customers, and NEVER the STL files.
Thanks for your understanding.
