That's a stunning piece of scratchbuilding Franklyn and really good to see on here. Scratchbuilding seems to be a slowly dying art in this world of kits with photo etch and resin accesories and I think we forget just what modellers were actually up to years ago.

Great shots of a stunning model.

Thank You for your reply on my Mars Most of my builds are quite different from a lot of the other fellows. Mine are a blast of the past but I do have a couple present up to date builds I will be posting here. I have a vast collection all the way from boyhood to now. I had for years been with most of my life. Thank you for your wonderful reply.
