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.

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.

that sounds reasonable. Fill with what? JB Weld???
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
Where is the best place for Agora updates?

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... ???????
