Thanks for the tip @thePrettyDamned - I'll take a look and, if it makes sense - will get a bundle.
We could probably sort out a thread just to discuss the finishing options for people doing the build. You're absolutely right - there are many options out there.
And @JookyChap might have some comments on the approaches that he's tried. Not the acid, acid, acid one though ...
From Andy @ Wudtone.com
3 enquiries sent to potential suppliers on Saturday - all Chinese with the apparent ability to be able to provide a number of different body shapes (so we don't all have to do a Tele) in the (low) quantities that we'd be interested in.
1 response received so far, offering to send me samples, but I'd have to pick up the $300 express shipping cost to be able to take a look at them (plus whatever taxes HMRC decides to impose). And the PayPal surcharge. If we order in bulk, I'd get them surface shipped so that the cost was not as silly, but I don't really want to wait 4-6 weeks for surface shipped samples to arrive before we decide whether to do it, or not.
So I'm waiting a couple of days to see if I get any more responses. If not, I'll probably bite the $300 bullet to get samples in and assess whether they'd be good enough to use as the base for a build-your-own-kit challenge.
