Sorry Terry you must have been too quick while I edited it and then added the forgotten pictures :funny:

I'm not a blingy person either Brian but having sold an Empress on the weekend for enough to power the next NASA Rocket I thought I'd use on the the kits I've had for a long time. Apart from the bling though it is an extremely well made kit.

You can't compare an Empress to a Roman Harvest though Paul !!!!

I'll agree they are the best available to us and say no more.

No you're right Terry, the only thing they have in common is bling which is really where I was coming from. The RH is a quality pen that I will now constantly have as a stock item.

Have you tried the Pristina that I have been doing lately?? It is of the same quality but has less bling!!!

I haven't Terry, I'll get some the next time I order from TB. Do they have the same drill / bushes? or would I need yet another set :funny:

No you need new bushes as they are a slightly smaller pen. I think the drill sizes are 11.9mm and 13mm from memory but I used a 12mm. instead of the 11.9mm

Thanks Terry, fortunately I've still got spaces for 3 more sets of bushes in the latest carrier before I need to add a new one. :thumbs:

Nice and classy for sure, I prefer less bling personally but each to their own.

Customers always right etc.

Must have a go at some of these bigger beasts next time I order from TB.
