GrahamF Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just to let you know that we've started machining the Tallboy and cradle for the Iconicair heavy 'E' trolley we produce. So will be available shortly. Graham Bob MDC, Trak-Tor, Phartycr0c and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Looking forward to this. Is a Grand Slam 22000 coming later? Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamF Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yes we could do that, depending on the response for the Tallboy, the files were done a while back. Graham Dennis7423 and Trak-Tor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Curious about the physical characteristics and differences between the tallboy bomb and the grand slam, other than the weight, including explosive power. I always fancied those Barnes Wallace (if he's the guy responsible) earthquake bombs and how they were designed to bring structures down...not by direct hit but by shock waves through the earth (at least that's the way I have been lead to believe they worked). I'd love to have a 1/32 Lanc with a Tallboy/Grand Slam bomb but I've come to realize that I haven't got the room for such large airplane models. I can just imagine a display with a flying lanc model with a teeney-weeney Tirpitz below, in the distance (scale perspective you know).

Royboy Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Can we have a 'standard' bomb trolley to go with it please for the 500 pounders? While your at it we need some incendiary bomb cannisters for the Lancaster Mk I/III too. Just thought I'd mention it again! Aye thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will gladly if you can spread the word that we exist, I'm still finding after 8 years that nobody has ever heard of us. Graham LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham I'm guessing if many seem to be unaware, it may be due to a lack of advertising or word of mouth stuff, and I suspect may be a common issue with smaller manufacturers.

Yes its difficult to know where to go with that, magazine adverts are expensive and I've found in the past totally unproductive. The internet in my opinion also doesn't cut it.

Juggernut Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hi Graham, Let me ask this... Have you or have you considered advertising on LSP, at least as a start? I see a lot of your products are LSP related so to me, this would be a good segment of the market, but not the entire market. There's also LSM which is UK based I believe although worldwide membership. You might also pitch your wares (that are exceptionally detailed from what I'm seeing) to retailers? I'm asking not knowing your situation or what you have or have not done so please excuse my ignorance if I've mentioned something that you've already attempted and/or done. I know you're in the UK so might Hannants be a possible outlet for your products? You might also put your website address in your signature line.

How much that genuinely affects sales, I do not know, but is perhaps something to consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thanks Guys, Yes some good ideas there, I'll consider it, maybe try and tie it up with the Tallboy project. Graham Lothar and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to not speak though I've got the most terrible voice it's a sort of cross between Julian Clary and Boy George. Graham Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
