Hi Calum. I've been using your sites myself the last week or two for my own post-Kahu kit conversion, and they'll be my go-to references for my T-bird and pre-Kahu as well.

Gorgeous. Very nicely bashed into submission built. Cheers Gaz

Outstanding. Bravo Sir ! Cheers Gaz

Crikey! It would take me 35 years to come up with anything half as good and detailed as this. So much to wonder at ! Well done. Cheers Gaz

Very nice indeed, and obviously a labour of love. Nice to have a personal link to the subject aye. Cheers Gaz

Evening All Being a fit 'fussy' if you like .....(I'm sure there are other descriptions others might use), I needed an opposition piece to go with my Matilda from a couple of months ago. So here's my latest subject, the Panzer III from Tamiya. A pretty straight froward build which I built as a subject of the 10th Panzer Division in Tunisia 1943. I sprayed the model with a base of XF64 before applying chipping fluid, and then the top colours of XF60 and 88. In keeping with the desert theme I kept my weathering to nothing but playing with varying the tones of the base colou

Lovely Scooter, well done indeed. Cheers Gaz

That's a really cool collection, and a diverse range of interesting schemes. Nice one Cheers Gaz

Simply put - a masterpiece ! Cheers Gaz

I think that's what you call an attention getter. An interesting subject, nicely built, that's just a bit different to the norm. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers and welcome Gaz
