Right, an update - I've got the 'bodywork' done. Now all(?)  it needs is the doors putting on, and a bit of paintwork! It's a little on the large side, so please excuse the rather hurried and singular picture.  Can you tell what is is still? Oh, and not one bit of plastikard was harmed in the production of this flying machine! |

Took some better pics this morning - last ones for a while - I shall now be doing the fiddly bits, (and painting it) after making sure it's not going to fall apart. I call it method in the madness, but as usual the madness is in the method! More figures are due to be made, and the base finalised, but first I needed to know the actual concept was fairly doable!    I shall return to this thread! |

A quick update ... I've started the base, and the crew is underway. I'm rather hoping you won't tell me off if there's a little ( ) bit of overhang on the base. Might take a picture or two tomorrow.  |

Well, at the moment it is scattered in two rooms ... I have got to finish the base then I can assemble it for the first time Then I can see whether I can call it finished ... Fingers crossed ;D |
