![]() 19 forum posts | It was a bit odd from the beginning. One can build the complete chassis from the articles in ME (May 1970 - March 1972) but there the series unceremoniously ended without explanation. Rumour had it that there was a disagreement over publication rights. There may still be a disagreement over publication rights and Ken has elected to be the sole source for drawings. I have virtually all the drawings beyond what were published in ME and these were acquired driectly from Ken in Rowlnads Gill. At that time I believe he was still offering castings direct. That was in 1999 and I don't know if Ken is still living. Edited By GWRdriver on 04/01/2013 13:40:36 |

20 forum posts 2 photos | I believe Ken (Swan) died around three years ago, the drawings for Bridget are available from Polly Models, the castings from Reeves. |
