Good to go Houston! Well done that lad! :thumb2:

Just to clarify summat Andy.
Stand alone, vignette or simple diorama, any restrictions?

As far as I'm concerned,no restrictions really Ron,all three of those appeal to me. :smiling3:
Strikes me that the field to chose from is more limited when you're talking Japanese Aircraft... so opening it up to vigs or dios will allow a more diverse range of builds ;)

So,I guess I ought to show what I'm gonna do!
Like Ian, I'm going for two builds... mainly because the Raiden I have is nice,but I think a quick build, it's pretty basic! So,I pushed the boat out somewhat,(is it me,or are Japanese kits rather pricey,in 1/48?!),and got a"Nick"

Yes he is Ian,
"Cohan" we call him,after Terry Pratchett's Discworld character,"Cohan the Barbarian" ;)
He'll be 4 this June,and about 400mm long,as you say, SO friendly,he loves to come out for a cuddle and explore the front room :smiling3:
People who visit take one look at him in his "tank" and get all "oh my god it's a Dinosaur,RUN AWAY" ..
They couldn't be more wrong!!

As I have a box of Zeros with the same title as the GB I'm going to have to build at least one of these.
Hmmm wondering does a dual boxing break the "one subject per thread rule"? If not I may do a tandem build.
(I'll need to buy paint.)
