Ross I ordered a kit so that Scarecrow could organise his suppliers for kits. While the kits heaps easier and each piece is cut out perfect, you dont really need a kit you can build the DS12 from the plans that Scarecrow supplies. I would be suprised if you cant get all the things you need to build the cat there, but you probably need the technical name for the resins so you can web search it. If you could organise freight the kit package wasn't heavy and is approx 3900mm x 450mm x 200mm. Now all I need is time to assemble it.
Your questions are not stupid anyone on the forum will happily answer you. Have you seen Gato's blog on building his DS12 in this forum, he shows how to build this cat and how it will look.
Simon I'll probably see you on Sunday for the Rum Race, I can't believe how fast you were at the Earthmovers race hopefully we'll find the marks this time.
