I got issues....................8,9,10 and 11 today (all parts included) plus a binder.
I'd love to know what the green and blue planet is cuz it sure as hell doesnt look anything like Earth.
I just noticed that the large 92 teeth gear that comes with issue 8 or 9 (not sure which) is missing. Gonna have to email them and get one sent out. I have also decided that the best/cheapest solution to my tarnished sun is to have them send me a replacement sun and add it to my subscription costs.
My mate Dan emailed me within 24 hrs and said he would send me out a new sun and also the 92 tooth-gear that was missing from issue 9.
I hve to say the the customer service service with this magazine is top notch.
Can anyone hazzard a guess as to the finished dimentions (width) of the orrery, cuz i plan to put mine in a nice glass show case (mainly to stop dust collecting on ot).
