Became a grandfather in June and had a bit of adjustment to do.

Leopald is coming along nicely with some detail work to do and the remainder of the gun barrel to finish. I'll probably finish the detailing when display is finished. Some photos attached for your pleasure or not!! Have also included a few pics of the diesel shunter I thought I'd add in.

As always all feed back, good and bad, will be gratefully received

Hi bazars.

Apologies for taking so long to reply not been on the forums for a while. Yes the little parts always bounce the furthest and always into the most awkward places!!

Its almost like they are trying to escape..

Thank you. If you get the chance to build one then go for it!! :D

Be prepared to need more space, paint, glue, time, effort, energy, partners patience, understanding etc....., than you realise.

If you have a way of catching the little fiddly parts then let me know!!! The build has taken around 18 months so far. Two of which must of been spent on the floor looking for said bits!!!!!!

I would like to build 'Dora' but I cant find a way to justify the £500 price tag to my wife!!!
