Have to admit that your metalwork and paintwork is awesome and so life like ( looks so real )


I really like the bodywork too, nice shade.


The " plethora" of itty bits..... That's good wording ( "not just lots still to do") Very impressed with this

That'd be brilliant if you're sure you don't want it ......... I'll cover the postage, I'll stick some cash in an envelope and send it up to you.

As you are into WW2 armour I have a 1/35 Italeri Panther Aus F /G kit I'll never build ....... It's complete apart from the tracks., but there are loads of aftermarket tracks on evilbay ...... If you want it you can have it as a swap..

That is looking soooo awesome it's making me want to get back on a bike again.


I remember in London I was travelling on the M25 with a few pals years ago and we were doing average 60mph heading for Folkestone and this Hyabusa came along side us looked us up and down ( our 5 bikes ) and just floored it and disappeared into the distance!!! It was that quick!!


Awesome work Peter let's see her dressed now?
