Apart from a small number of commemorative sets, and the knights of course, the Civil War range and the Cowboys and Indians were I think, the only exception. Pity.

Yes my first step was to vent as you described but it didn't help at all, Its a long story that started with a poor choice of layout and an error in mixing the compound which made the rubber softer than intended and went from there.

Hope this helps you. Cheers. KEV.KEV. Robertson.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03057624752614080866noreply@blogger.com
