The certificates and unique numberings for the kits seemed to finish before the start of the Omerod 2s. Had an early revision 1 version 2 in 2014 and a new old stock kit that was re imported back from Australia and neither had them.

AFAIR the first 500, 250 in red and 250 in green was special editions with certificate, nothing special about them really, the only difference to the later ones were the certificates

I was proud of my 007, felt special smiling smiley

Had great fun with mine and to be resurrected in 2019 after a (too) long absence.

Some interesting ideas there! I'm considering a belt z-axis as the trapizoidal screw hasn't quite got shot of all of the z wobble. Will have another search on the ormerod forum for z-wobble first.

I always think Bamboo is the best material to use for Ormerod....
light and resistant to temperature variations...

Sure 5 Years ago it was the best of times!
