Excellent start Tony,

I love stringbags, but still dont have the confidence to try the one in the stash! I may wait a while yet.

OK ..its beaten me :)

the plastic that the struts are made from is so brittle , it is impossible to take 'em off the sprue, very strange..they just keep snapping, this after i have just finished a great kit in the sci fi build.

not completed... :oops:
