Excellent build, apart from the undercarriage, and hopefully the set winging it's way from Hannants will sort that out. I hoe to see it at Telford this year.

 

Expectant of Mars

 

 

I may be putting it on our club table Martian but she cannot go back into the competition, having failed to catch the eye of the judges in 2014. ;)

It cant go on the comp table on our branch meeting Tom, although I'm happy to have it on our grumpy gits table next month

 

Whyever not, I'm quite chuffed with it after its journey from Airfixity

 

I hope the new undercarriage is up to the job but I do suggest that Liquid Gravity's ability to hide under floors and seats makes it better than simply bunging lumps of solid lead 'in there, oh yes and in there' so it may be slightly less awkward in operation

I would very much hope to see that Bill. :thumbsup2:

It's been a fantastic read catching up on this, with some truly excellent hacks and repurposing of parts - a real inspiration!

Thanks Tony does this mean you have the ferry booked for this November again?  Excellent!

 

I expect to have it on display at the Cosford show next month too

 

I might have a picture of its reconstituted undercrakens Jonny, I will have a butcher's 'ook later

 

(she is tucked safely away in storage just nows)

I don't think my youngest would forgive me if we didn't make it over again Bill - it was a blast getting to meet everyone for the first time!

Hopefully this year we'll get longer to have a good rap. :thumbsup:

Just picked up on this, the Cat has a place in my life as it was the model I was building when I heard I'd passed my eleven plus in 1971. As I recall mine was somewhat more of an impression of the model rather than a representation.

Top work, as always.
