I ve been building the 917 and created a tray system to keep all of the screws organized. I was wondering , are ALL Agora models the same as far as screws? Is a CM screw for the 917 exactly the same as a CM screw for the Routemaster? BP=BP etc...

100% of my packs have come from the UK , both for the 917KH and 312T. I am in Massachusetts

Clear PETG 3d prints very similar to that. By adjusting the surface and fill patterns along with the wall thickness I think I could get really close. That said we would need an .stl of the part to do it.

How about the Ferrari shipping? I have 3 packs in hand and another is in transit but was expecting these as well by now. Have not seen anything about this delay via email or otherwise. Display Case and Plinth Your Limited Edition includes: • Individual numbered name plaque (1-60) • Signed and numbered certificate (1-60) • Limited Edition illuminated display plinth • Acrylic display case with wooden base We will be allocating your specific number (1-60) on a random basis. The Display Case will be sent to you in late August. Your Plinth and Plaque with Certificate will be sent in September.

Excellent, Thank You.

Yes, I receive the newsletters, September was about the Optimus Prime release only and I also get the Community Digest eMails. Reply from CS was a curt .. "We had communicated that Pack 5 is charged at the end of October and it's monthly from then. " and then a reminder to check for newsletter delivery. So my question is, Where did you communicate that exactly? Is there an Oct newsletter out already? When I say you didn't send me any communication , the wrong answer is "Yes we did" with no info about where and how. This eMail exchange illustrates the point of the original post well... The original post was a question. "Where IS the best place to find out what is going on with Agora?" Still have not seen a direct answer. Is it the website, newsletter, direct eMail, Community Digest... ???????

<rant> I'm really new to all of this partswork stuff but I've seen enough to make some observations. All of the companies that sell these subscription type kits have universally poor communication skills with the subscribers. I personally bailed out on my first ever attempt at this (the Ecto-1 Eaglemoss) precisely because they were not communicating well, we all know why in retrospect. If you look at the forums and channels about this stuff it is full of people looking for reliable official updates. There is a lot of frustration at the lack of transparency in the workings of their subscriptions. I know people get ticked off if a monthly shipment is delayed but I also know the vast majority of them would take it a lot better if the company had only sent some info. A "sorry Pack X for Build Y will be delayed , we will let you know when its shipping soon" would go a long way to customer happiness rather than having to browse endless forums and try to piece together some picture of what might be happening. </rant> That being said.... Where IS the best place to find out what is going on with Agora? If there isn't one then this is a excellent opportunity to be the leader amongst partwork companies and make one. (the News&Views page is not really used for this kind of granular info)

That looks great, well done. I've been trying to do the same for my 917KH build.

Never underestimate the postal systems ability for annihilation.

Just for a brief snapshot of my experience so far, I have a spreadsheet that I track their shipping metrics to me. Initial shipments were scheduled to be 2 months apart that is why it looks like it took too long, everything has shipped roughly on schedule. On a side note I was expecting to see Pack5 billed/shipped this week but have not gotten any info about it yet. Pack2 Stg 7-15 Ferrari 312 arrived today 10/5 billed 9/16

Yep, exactly. Filled the hole, allowed to get to bread dough consistency, then "threaded" the part in place and clamped overnight with some hemostats. Worked like a charm.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else has found this mounting to be problematic? On my chassis, the clutch side mounting hole is bored incorrectly for a KM screw. The throttle side mounting hole and the outside diameter of the bosses are fine. Will probably just fill the hole and re-drill to correct size.

Wondering if there will be a forum section for the 312? With only 60 units there isn't much of a critical mass for that channel. I would say that having the official Agora forum as a place to document builds is another part of the fun of all of this. I am very new to all of this modeling stuff but I admit that I have swallowed the hook, heard the siren's song, drank the kool-aid.............

If this happens, I'm in !

Hello all, My goal is to make my own display stand and case for the completed model. I am going to mod & add to the electrics so that lights and other functions will be controlled by switches in the base and the model connected to it via a magnetic connector (like Apple notebooks) for simple removal. This is something I can work on between shipments but I need to know the actual dimensions. I know the size of the model but I would like to use the platform size of the official case from Agora as my baseline. If anyone has the case from Agora or IXO and could provide me with the dimensions of the platform and clear case , I would be grateful. Thanks
