Sol Models (Korea)

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Just a quick question. Has anyone had any dealings with this company and have ordered stuff to the UK. and was there any problems. The ordering process seems a little chaotic, with sporadic English instruction more so with the shipping costs.

Regards,

Mark

I didn't know they still existed Mark.

I bought one of their 'Vinyl' maidens back in November at Scale model world in Telford.
Friends told me they'd gone out of production so never followed up on thinking
I would like some more of their figures
Is there a website?,
Icouldn't find one.

Here you go Paul, I am tempted by a kit they have.

Hey Mark thanks very much for that.
Fin is the one I have it is Ney that I want next,
They are superb kits, I hope you enjoy yours

Paul, I just had a look at this Ney character, very nice. However Its not as easy as it first looks appears, with those soft skin tones.

I know Ron Clark, (Kagemusha) did an unbelievable job on the 'Angel Re-birth', character

Thanks Mark, as it sayeth in the book of peede chapter 1 verse 1
Yeah and she'll shal be caressed longingly with the softest of sable......
And it was good !
In this scale pre airbrushing's a definate answer I think as in the scale 75 videos.
Appreciate your thoughts Mark. I'll let you know when I've made progress.

Mark,

They have an e-bay store with 63 transactions and a 100% rating. They just came out with 3 of the 1/16 tanks for deep pocketed, near sighted modellers.

Bob, I saw those! The Hetzer, Panzer 38T, and Sherman,. and as you say, for those with deep pockets.

But the ebay site does not carry the kit I am tempted by, which was the Zundapp/sidecar & the two riders. @ £169

Paul, they have that 'Ney' character in there E-Bay shop if you are interested.

Thanks Mark,

Appreciate the tip. Sorry to be slow to reply, I missed your post.

I should probably Finish Fin first I think,
It's going to be a box diorama with lighting.
It's good to see a company producing all the scales though.
They are not shy in ambition

Paul,

That maybe just as well. Ron Clark pointed out a glaring notice from this E-Bay shop. Which generally reads if there is any broken or missing parts, tough you sort it out, we will take your money, but not help with any issues. ... Err, no thanks.


I need maximum 5 business days for handling this Item.
Check parts again, and replace not good parts/missing parts with other stock
or asking new parts to manufacturer.



Please understand this condition.

Mark

Mark I wonder if you could /should also interpret their poor english as meaning
they would need
"5 days to process any orders, or the replacement of damaged stock, broken or missing parts?"

It would be unusual for anyone other than a wholesaler to pass you on to a suppler,

In this case they are the manufacturer aren't they?
Just wondering,
Paul.

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Paul, the above E-Bay link is not their shop! .. it appears to be some chancer banging on silly postage, as the postage is usually free. This is the official E-Bay shop.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sol-model..._DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

I am still having trouble navigating the official site especially Q&A's.

Mark

 

[peedee]

Yeah Mark,
Gotcha.
I have only been looking at the site you gave.
From that distance I would rather order direct.
My plan was to email them asking for a quote price including postage, and then there's less messing about.
It ain't gonna be cheap, so may as well buy direct.
I never do ebay.
Thank you
Paul

Dear Mark

some year ago, i herad sol re-open their service. but, it's a hard work to find the full range in the Seoul, Korea.
My office is near of their office, truely they service as a shop 13~5 years ago.. i visited that shop after finished the work.
it's only 3Km.. :->


anyway, the boss was re-released their some product some year ago.
the following link is the best way to get the miniatures from sol models.
i knew that the boss of this online shop have a friendship with the boss of SOL Model.

anyway, you can browse the product you can take now...
maybe, you don't read the korean texture, then i'll give you some tip.
the green small icon means "New"
the black small icon measn "Out of Stock"

this is everything that i knew about SOL Models.


have a nice day!!!
