Great conversion Work. Have these been 'A long time Comin' ' at all ? (Geddit ?) ;-)

(Must dig mine out !)
Well, I started the Quireboys at 7 O'CLOCK and finished at I LOVE THIS DIRTY TOWN. :ha:
I could have finished sooner, I was trying to teach a chicken to cluck the tune, "Sunshine of your love" ......but all it wanted to do was Cross roads! :roll:

LOL. y'know, I bought their first album when it came out and no more after that. same for most of the Artists in my record collection. I seem to have a record Library of 'first albums' and then 'Greatest Hits' compilations. Except of course for say, the mighty Kiss, Alice cooper, Pink floyd, Zep, and Jethro Tull. Funny that.
The best thing, is to keep on building. Clap your hands, stamp your feet, wiggle your fingers…

All progress on current projects stalled whilst I try to make my own decals.
-Tartan flashes for either side of the boom roundels for the 1/48 Vampire
- Tartan tail and a/c numbers for the 1/48 Cougar
- Tartan tail and fuselage stripe for 1/72 Skyhawk (all 3 are different tartans!)
And also waiting for the basic parts that I need to make a 1/35 Zeppelin

You sure those tartan decals aren't for some Bay City Roller figures you're doing? :grin:
