ARGH! I hope to get this started this week (actually, make that an I WILL get this started this week). Just moved into new digs so I'm still trying to get my stuff sorted out. Hopefully this weekend will mark the beginning of the gb for me!

So, how far behind am I right now?!?!? Luckily, things have started coming together for me and I've managed to squeeze in some modelling time. All I have done so far is the cockpit assembly and priming, but now I've started, there's no stopping me. Need to buy the paint required to spray the cockpit interior, and when that's done I can really rock on. Just to prove I HAVE been doing SOMETHING, I took photos for you:

It's hard work this real life business. I hate how it gets in the way of modelling! :lol:

So I can see some modelling occuring, but are you saying by the pictures, that the playstation has been taking up some of your valuable time too? :ha: Damned games consoles!!!!! :lol:

Hope to see more soon,

Regards

Hahaha! Thanks for looking in :grin:

I can assure you however that the games console hasn't been taking up my time - I have been watching Blackadder in bed each night which accounts for the controller on my desk! Oh, and my flatmate sitting playing games while I wash up and clean the bathroom :evil:

My favourite kit as a kid this one! Probably the model I have made most times but not for a long time.
