The software I currently use to create a video will not upload pdf files so I convert them to jpg.

Hi, 2 questions for the admins.
1. After downloading the instructions for packs 1-4 and attempting to convert the instructions with Pixillion to a JPEG the software cannot convert them correctly, possibly due to the colours used, therefore I cannot use them and now have to print and scan instead. Can this be resolved?
2. Also the parts list does not name any part with its technical identifier\name which is pretty annoying. Why?
-
Excellent news Wyatt. You will definitely enjoy it.

Agora: Why are there no written instructions for the Tank and no mention of what each part is supposed to be other than the what is listed in the stages page? The highlighted parts are a good addition but surely someone can use a keyboard to type!
-
It would be beneficial for builders if Agora could colour highlight the parts that are to be fitted from other parts ( instructions showing all parts black) in order to differentiate parts that are to be fitted from others that are not.

The Routemaster bus was brilliant to build and was so satisfying. I would make some changes to the design with regard to the function switches as some of them are awkward to operate and also the figures that are supplied with the build are on the large side of the scale. The bus looks awesome though and its massive.

This looks fantastic. My seat belt hooks where a major headache as I snapped 1 of them but Agora did send me a replacement within a few days. The front suspension is quite annoying also as you stated.

Pack 6
in Cobra Chat
I have pack 6 and paid for pack 7 9 days ago but still waiting for a tracking number. Agora you need to delay payments if you haven't got the packs and also you need to communicate to all customers if there are any delays.

They are stock build destination blinds. I believe other builders have made there own, have a look on Facebook.

More Routemaster bus
pictures. This is the finished build. I have changed and added the adverts
-
Latest info for pack 5 is late this week or early next week. I paid for packs 1-5 upfront as some others did and have also noticed that pack 6 is expected the last week of February.

Completed this build and it is now sitting proudly in my cabinet.

Has anyone found that the GT500 doors appear both 'floppy' on their hinges and loose in the body frame? I appreciate that the hinges must provide some vertical movement to enable a better fit the aperture, but would appreciate any suggestions on how to keep them flush with the body rather than partially open whilst on display?
I replaced the retaining screw with one off another build as my doors were floppy. Both screws had lost their thread and both doors are a much better fit now. Also watch out for trapped wires and the obvious seatbelts getting trapped.

One thing I would have liked to have seen in this book is a bit more text. More info on the car its self, such as specs, articles like you would get in a magazine, rather than just 1 or 2 little paragraphs here and there, along side stuff linking it to our model if that makes sense?
Please don't take this as a negative as it is a beautiful book. I just would have liked some reading material along side it all too. One thing I like about partwork models is the articles that come in the weekly magazines, I was expecting something like this all collated into 1 large book all about the snake and our model
It is a beautiful book and you are correct more of the written history would have been great.

I cannot wait for this pack. The main body looks gorgeous and the scoops are so cool looking.

There looks to be screw holes for the roof lining or is it a push fit?
-
What date can we expect for delivery?
-
Its a breather pipe and i have placed it with the other cables at the rear of the tyre behind the clip.
-
Pack 10 completed and it is looking fantastic. Shock absorbers installed. The Fenders are gorgeous and have been put loosely into place with the front grill. With only 2 packs left you can imagine how heavy they will be with the roof, bonnet and rear of the car to come.

Pack 2
in Cobra Chat
No tracking number yet but i did read that Agora have the packs 1, 2 and 3 already and will probably deliver after World of Wayne on You tube has uploaded his video which will probably be next week.
-
The support bracket looks metallic and the fender paintwork looks gorgeous.
-
Time for the electronic circuit board to be added. This would be a great time to test the lights and engine sound, if there were any installed.
-
There is some lovely detailing on the battery, water cap and strut bar.
-
This stage answers a previous question about the shock absorbers. Engine bay is looking awesomw!

As much as this is frustrating we will receive the last 2 packs, that's me resigned to this delay and hoping these delays will cease to exist soon. Is this another shipping delay or a production issue?
