The Ship Model Forum

I used this set to great effect and had absolutely no issues whatsoever,

Cheers, Jabb

Thank You Alan,

so it looks like that I will be going with this set like through maze. Honestly, I start to think about switching to KA sets with other models...

Hi Voyteque
I have just downloaded the eleven pictures that are listed on page 7 of this thread together with Pontos instruction sheet page 3 and can confirm that they are all shown on that page 3 sheet. There are seven pictures of the model and four pictures of turned parts. Nothing extra is shown.
Sorry to dash your hopes - but save you waiting for Mr.Kims reply.

Regards
Alan from UK

Thank You,
Unfortunately, there are is not everything... In Pontos answer there are some (I think) direct photos which are missing. Additionally, it is very hard to contact Pontos now. I am waiting for email answer for over a week. As I see on other threads in this forum I am not the only one. This does not look good...

Anyone? Maybe someone has it downloaded?

Hello everyone,

can You help me on downloading those pictures of Pontos from page 7 of this thread?

Pontos HMS Dreadnought instruction is a horror...

Thanks Alan, doesn't work for me as no small box showing

However, by right clicking in the relevant post and selecting - 'View Selection Source' a page opens with 'DOM Selection source' as the new tab. Right click inside this page and select 'Wrap long lines' the path to the pictures are highlighted in Blue.



Hope this helps.

Cheers Jabb

PS - I'm on Windows 7, hope this works for other operating systems.

Hi all.
I dont pretend to fully understand computers (if it don't work kick it!) but l have found (with Mr.Parks very kind guidance) that where the pictures are missing - small box showing with question mark - right click on the question mark and click on the line that comes up asking if you wish to open the picture in a new tab and lo and behold the picture is there!!!!.
I have AppleMac so hope it works with Microsoft as well.
I have just checked a good 20 of these question marks and all have shown the picture by doing this.
If anybody is still having problems then PM me and l will try to download all the pictures and burn them to a CD and mail them.
Hope l am not doing anything wrong in offering to do this. Just trying to help all other modellers on this splendid site.

Also be pleased to know if this works for all you other people.
Fingers crossed in that it works.

Best Regards
Alan

May I also respectfully request a look-see at those.

Regards

Cheers Jabb

Dear Alan, could you please share those pictures? Or send them to me - harryer@mail.ru ? Thanks in advance!

Mr. Parks pictures seem to have disappeared on all the related sites (Essex, Yorktown etc). Probably linked with the fact that he is no longer with them - now Infini model.

Thank goodness l downloaded all the pictures related to the sets that l bought before this happened.

Alan

Can someone please tell me what happened to Park's photos in this section? I've just got the Dreadnought and his upgrade set and would really like to see them

Dreadnought for Trumpeter kit may be started from next year.
Some more details will be added than our previous old detail set for Zvezda kit.
Thank you
Keumho Kim

Kim,

Consider myself another buyer for a Trumpeter release. I've had the kit in my stash waiting for this release.

Shipped 10days ago.
It takes 7days to 2weeks to Europe generally.
When you get our stuff, we would support until you finish your works.
Thank you
Keumho Kim

So no real issues with Pontos sets, I have 5 in the stash and have used two.

Instructions were a bit confusing at first if I was being harsh, a good study and build plan and problem solved.

Built Dreadnought and Duke of York and enjoyed both of them. Looking forward to the next one I use, and getting my hands on the Nelson set.

Cheers,

Si

I got improperly scribed turret tops in my Pontos 1/200 Iowa set (the only problem I've had in the 6 different Pontos sets I've bought over the past 3 years or so)... Freetime Hobbies got me a replacement fret in about 3 weeks.

Every time someone complains about Pontos there seems to be a chorus of "Huh? that's not my experience with them at all!?" comments. Here's mine... Loving my Nelson set!

Ok Ack that you had a bad experience with this vendor but can you please take it to a private
conversation between yourself and them? there is no point in continually trying to shame someone on this thread

It's been 2 weeks and still no news, this is ...a real shame, Make money on the back of the customers. My online model shop had to pay custom fees for the missing parts he'd already paid for, would you believe it ? TRUST PONTOS ...and hope for the best, disgusting, really.

Kim

I find your corporate attitude very rude and impolite, why can't you just send the parts at once and give news. This is my second purchase from Pontos and unless a goodwill gesture from you it's going to be the last one. I'll have to mention this in the different modelling forums where I belong, to warn other members and fellow modellers, it's only fair.
