Rest In Peace
One or two points that I'm not too happy with - little bits that I either missed or couldn't clean during the build and a nasty join that I completely missed until I just saw it in the photo - still, I'll try and correct that before long.Hi Gerry
Great. You should be very pleased with the way that has come out.
Jim
Still looks good to me Gerry….
Thanks, even though I've a few 'reservations' on how well it's turned out, I enjoyed the challenge that this has presented, and all the new things all throughout, PE, tiny assemblies, limited time.Very well done Gerry!
Very honoured, thank you, must admit that I've got to thank all of those that gave support on the thread - a few times it almost got put into the box and put away, as it went through my mind "What? Again? Do I have to?"!Gerry .
Think it's a great build, esp as you certainly faced a steep learning curve with the PE and won .
I see you even manage to fit the sight on the machine gun, I've found those so hard in the past they normally end up in the bin .
The committee were also impressed.

Congratulations.
Thanks, the dio is still being thought about.That turned out very well Gerry.........will work into a nice and very different Diorama.......not seen one of these built up before, very unusual vehicle.
There might be hope for the Norton Commando that's been languishing in a box for 20 years or so thenThink the good thing is you didn't give up, just shows that perseverance can win Gerry.
Thanks Andy, as said, there were a few times when it almost went into the box never to see the light of day again, but proud of myself in that the carpet monster DIDN'T GET FED ANYTHING and given the size of a lot of the bits I'm most surprised!!Yep, gotta agree with the Chaps here Gerry.....
A very nice job indeed
I also echo what John said about that Gun sight..... They are an absolute bugger to fit IMHO,so again.... Well done for sure mate
Andy
P.S. When I was doing my apprenticeship in Devonport, the MOD Coppers used to ride Norton Commandos exclusively....always loved those bikes,but never did get to own one myself.....
So,go on.... Get it out of it's box....
It's waited long enough!!
Thanks Lee, wasn't any less complex to me, as well! All I could really do was to just follow the instructions (was a few times that I looked and thought "What the heck!?" but changed order or just plodded ahead) it's shown up a couple of things that could be useful for modelling in the future, so a learning experience!Gerry. That looks great very nice finish to a well to me a complex model well done and congratulations on the Race Towers dogs award also. Thanks for joining us on the GB we was glad to have you.
