Thanks!

Awesome this takes figure modelling to a whole new level cheers for the review Darren and thanks also to James for the link

Neat looking product! I have to ask, even at the risk of not seeing the obvious, but what's a "jiffy bag"? I'm curious since it's mentioned as the packaging type in order to protect the product but there's no photo of the packaging and I honestly have no idea what that type of bag is. Is it a zip-lock type bag or something else entirely?

Bill, I'm guessing a 'jiffy' bag is a padded shipping envelope. It sounds like JB Models packages the items in a standard zip-lock bag, then ships in a padded one to ensure safe arrival.

James is correct. I got my order from them. Although it's pretty difficult to damage turned aluminum products, they are shipped in a thick sturdy manila envelope that is foam lined.

I am sorry I believed that "Jiffy bag" was a generic term.

Wow! Those look great. Wonder what's next...am amazed at all the new items that are coming out! Cheers!

After taking delivery of a couple of their aluminium barrels just this past week, I'm really imprssed with JB Models: Low prices, low-cost shipping, fast delivery and of course top-notch products.

it is basically a envolope padded with bubble wrap on the inside of the envolope

Thanks guys for the clarification, learn something new every day!

I've always just heard them referred to as padded mailers...now I can use a new term and impress my wife with my newfound knowledge!

Tank models offers some resin German grenades and displays them attached to a jerry can by wrapping a wire around them and the can for a homemade incendiary device. Not exactly a "sticky bomb," but it would certainly pack a flaming punch.

With detail like this and the workmanship on the Panther L/70 barrel JB models looks like one to keep an eye on. The price of they're products seems good also. Its a shame the £ is so weak against the Euro. Great little product would be great in your Grenadiers hands

Hi Darren,


Thanks for the review. Nice to see a realistic price attached to these too. A useful little item.

Al

I think they named the bag after the old expression, possibly a British one, "I'll be there in a jiffy" as meaning I'll be there soon or quickly, so hence when your item arrives it's literally in a "Jiffy", now a brand name for padded bags.

In a Jiffy


So Bill impress her even more, when she says are you coming to get your dinner and stop that modelling you can say "I'll be there in a jiffy"

Alan

P.S. Great grenades by the way........
