I can second that, if it was the older chap, he has the patience of a saint. SHG are top of my list of suppliers, if they havent got it at a show they are very quick to send it through.

Dont know if they have a shop but worth looking at there web site

Jerome and his wife Sue are two of the model boat trade's greatest secrets, although regular show-goers will be familiar with their stand. Jerome is a past national multi-racing champion and has been producing metal and moulded plastic fittings for as long as I can remember, so he knows what he's talking about.

I first met his dad, Sid, when I did some design work for Roger Hargreaves at Humbrol back in the 70's. SHG Marine Models was then the biggest manufacturer of GRP boat hulls in the UK. Sid passed away a few years ago but, along with Lawrie and Jackie White of Model Slipway, Jerome and Sue are the nicest and most helpful people in the trade.
