Anarchist, actually
Construction of the Bergen Laser station kit stalled after starting on the roof build and discovering the two roof shingle sections were not included. An email to them was answered within minutes and parts were promised. The kit has been discontinued so I suspect they had to pull the old files to produce the parts.
Yikes! Either that's a lot of tiny soldering (and very well done!) or you've swiped Peteski's giant comedy dime.
mrhedley, my kit was also missing the roof shingles. One other error to look for - the small dormer roof shingles that are one of the last items added in the assembly. Each dormer should have a "left" and a "right" shingle piece; mine were all "lefts". Since you received a response from the vendor, check that part out too as you may need replacements.Ron
... I'm pretty pleased with the job this printer can do. Key lesson (for me at least): support is everything.Ed
The square is revised from last Sunday.
I-5 north of Seattle. In his defense, he had oversized load permits, and the state's website for such stuff gave only the clearance in the center of the bridge. The cross beams were curved, as is common.The driver was in the outside lane, where clearance was less than the posted amount. As a slow vehicle, he was supposed to be there. He tried to pull over, but a passenger vehicle in the inside lane had him blocked. So, he didn't clear the beam.In the resulting lawsuits, the state actually argued that it was the truck driver's fault, for not knowing the actual clearances, before driving the route. Claimed they had no responsibility to give the minimum clearance for each lane! I don't know how it actually ended up, but the repairs were expensive, and, I believe, the state changed both their oversize permit procedures AND the signage on such bridges.
