    Thanks chaps :D

    Roland, yeah I do have a full time job selling AV equipment, however the long suffering fiancee puts up with my intensive modelling sessions...most of the time... :nerd:

    Please don't hesitate in posting your desert TSR.2, I'd love to see it !

    Nice work Darren

    Rory, I don't suppose that is Sherbourne by any chance? If it is I think I might know who the pilot is, namely me! :shithappens: In fact we nearly didn't spot the wire accross the middle until the last minute and had to reposition!

    LOL :clap2::rofl:

    what are the chances ?

    I've seen excellent seascapes created using plaster of paris as well, I can't remember exactly but I recall the technique involved crinkling up a load of aluminium foil and pusing it down over a bed of plaster of paris, when set the aluminium foil is removed you are left with a very credible looking sea texture, just careful painting required

    (of course its very advisable to leave a ship sized hole from the onset :D )

    AHA -- Found it !

    I would have sold you one of mine if you were desperate John :unsure: Just didn't get chance to make you suffer for it :weep:

    lol - actually Mike I just posted a tongue-in-cheek request on the wanted board at ARC, just on the off chance. I nearly fell off my chair when I got a pm the next day offering me the kit at the original RRP incl. P&P

    Just goes to show its always worth asking the question :speak_cool:

    How'd I miss this one - more importantly, how can you afford one of these John? Those belts look so good - trust your showing em off with the canopy up.

    very very nice mate.

    Thanks Gary - a very nice chap over on ARC called Gerard sold me the unopened TSR.2 for £25 inc postage, fantastic considering he could quite easily have sold it on Ebay for silly money! I guess I asked the question at the right time, and the right chap responded, either way I think he just wanted to see one built up, and not shrinkwrapped for the rest of eternity. Top bloke :)

    Yup - this will be fully unbuttoned matey ;)

    :o ........1/72nd?

    JEEZ, that's outstanding Skii :thumbsup:

    .......but it'd better be WHITE or I'm sendin' da boyz rahnd.....:coolio:

    ;)

    LOL Guy, cheers fella :D yep - white , not DAZ white, but white nonetheless, I'm doing XR-219 as she would have appeared during a pre-flight check.

    Looking fantastic John

    Impressive stuff

    Cheers Sean :)

    I can't get over how polished it is! Really going to have to build one of these. Soon!

    I've not tried MAM... I'm going to stick with SAMI, even though their proofing's abysmal... Can't even spell Freightdohg (sic) properly!

    Went off SAM, because it strayed too far into research only territory... think it's probably bounced back now though. I'm also going to keep MAI, although it reads a bit like an advert for littlecars & Cammett... I do like some of the articles. Might give MAM a try for a couple of issues... then maybe have a look at SAM too...

    Yeah I used to buy MAI a lot, but the issues all started to get a bit 'samey', the builds are of excellent quality but I lost interest in the magazine itself.
