Great to see one of my very first kits (built, using the floats option, more years ago than I care to remember) transformed into a convincing portrayal of the real thing!

 

The setting really dots the i:s – inspiring job!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim

Hi Russ,

didn't realise you were in Leicestershire, did you used to go to the IPMS meetings in Broughton Astley, about 200 years ago?

No `fraid not, wasn`t me. My shifts don`t really make it worth going to anything regularly, even at twice a month, I`d probably only be able to make three a year.

Thanks for asking though.

Cheers Russ
