Hockeyboy76 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well well well, what the Dickens is going on here? Just a little project, the build itself should be quick, it’s the painting of the RAM lines that I see taking the time with a steady hand with the on the old hairy stick. Better cut down on the weekend cofffeees, already shaking a the thought of that!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Still not too late to cut the middle out, get a massive canopy and smother it in a big bulge of filler! I'll be happy to see a slimline one though if you decide to eggsasperate us Regards, Adrian PS hope the part (not) in the top left hand corner of the picture hasn't gone missing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
