Hi Pete

Got to be honest first reaction was what the....?!?!???!

Further reflection resulted in 'Bonkers' closely followed by 'Mental'!!!!!

Before further reflection resulted in a position of 'Luuuuuuuuuvvvvvv IT!!'

Will be pulling up a chair if there's room!!!!

Hi Pete, You just sparked a memory with your reference to paint. I believe it was Pactra that made a range of Weirdo and Monster colors in the 60's. I recall they were very bright, some were borderline fluorescent. Just a bit of history...

Hi Pete
Well Sir if you were going for something different then you're onto a winner with this. No-one is going to be able to be picky about whether your chosen colours are right or wrong
Hope your recovery is going well now you are home.

Right big elbows out and excuse me if I sneeze, but got to get to the front to see a remake of a model made during my childhood but to a much higher standard.
