No, I'm afraid it's not. As Guy's post makes clear, what I've seen is hardly isolated and that 'buy early or not at all' rule of thumb was handed down to me from my modelling chums so that's a group of modellers who shared the same experience.RFL said:Sir, that is an incorrect statement regarding Grieve`s vintage work.
Rounding up to 30 for me.RFL said:I have been knocking about the Hobby for over 25 years...
I've seen plenty (conservatively, dozens). I own a few and all of them are, unfortunately, below what I would consider to be the cream of the crop.RFL said:I have never seen a poor quality Grieve casting.
Casting problems may not be about the quality of the mould only*.RFL said:...FYI [D.F. Grieve figures] were also produced in very low numbers, hence no chance for mold damage.
If you want specifics start a new thread on casting quality and I'll give examples. I can assure you I'm not mistaken nor do I have some axe to grind with regard to either maker that would lead me to be deliberately misleading (in the case of Ray Lamb quite the opposite is the case in fact).RFL said:Your similar comments about Vintage Ray Lamb castings, whose molds are still in production, and Pegaso also have no basis in fact...
The truth is what the truth is. As I posted a while ago in a previous thread:RFL said:...and are damaging to their business and the hobby in general.
Einion said:You can virtually name the maker, particularly if they cast in white metal, and someone will have had a badly-cast model from them, even if the majority of people have only good things to say about them.
