Neil67 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Does anybody know if the Paisley Model Centre is still open. Some it has closed. Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:08:08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prop Nut Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't know if it's closed, but it wouldn't surprise me. I had a lot of problems with an order back in November, 2013. My CC payment was taken immediately, but the item never arrived and emails were ignored. When I rang to ask if it had been despatched, they were very vague, claiming their website had been hacked. They wouldn't give me a tracking number and said they would chase Parcelforce, but never called back despite multiple follow-up calls from me. Then they claimed to have refunded my money but my CC was never credited. In the end I had to make a claim through my CC provider, which wasn't contested by the merchant. Maybe it was a sign of impending doom for them. Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:08:49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McCaughey Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 now closed as far as i am aware. the owner organised indoor flying but never turned up to the last sessions to collect fees. one of the indoor group tried to reach him for a few days via phone and then visited the shop to find it closed. he spoke to a 3rd party who advised that the shop is closed. the council are due fees which means they are being obstructive about us taking on the remainder of the let which means we are now without a venue. if we had been informed or asked to take over running of the event we could have transitioned it in advance. unfortunately the writing has been on the wall for a while. i've tried to support the shop for the past 2 years since getting back into the hobby but a serious lack of the bare essentials (i.e. no glue in the shop since late Sep13) and parts/materials for micro/indoor models meant i was forced to go elsewhere to purchase.

Neil67 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks for the info. Has saved me a long trip. Similarly, I tried to support the shop but never left with everything I needed. Stock has clearly been going down for months. Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:09:32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McCaughey Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 cmf hobbies http://www.cmfhobbies.com/ or uddingston model centre http://www.uddingstonmodelcentre.com/ are probably the next nearest. i have only been in cmf once but it had everything i needed. it was a bit like aladdins cave in that more you looked properly the more stock there was. i have not been in uddingston.

Neil67 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Where do you buy your fuel? It looks as if it will have to be CMF or Uddingston. Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:10:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytilbroke Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Neill67 and other Scots lads. Try Scoonie Hobbies for fuel. They did do orders for a minimum though of 4. Some clubs also do bulk buy in for members. who can get one at a time. Prices were ok too. Not decrying English lads but Scoonies are a bit far North perhaps.

Paul McCaughey Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't use fuel (electric only). I would give them a call and check prices and stock. Again PMC didn't have any for a few months from what I saw and heard. Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:11:02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Eddie, Welcome to the forum. I have approved this post not without some reservations, as there may be a perfectly reasonable explanation. I would ask that no personal information be posted on the open forum and that anyone with such information contact Eddie by PM. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bowker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Pete, I can't see Eddie's original post, therefore would find it difficult to contact him. (not that I have any info though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
