Splendid stuff, Mike.

[Migrant]

Thanks Nigel and Paul

[iggie]

awesome builds, all of them. Very very impressive

[Dirkpitt289]

Some truly inspiring builds Mike. One better then the next and its hard to decide which I like best but there is a place in my heart for Flying Forts and dazzle paint schemes.

[DavidWomby]

Great, Mike.

Hard to believe the Helldiver, Buffalo, Kingfisher, etc are the old Airfix kits.

Utterly brilliant, and inspirational, as previously discussed. The X-1A is may favorite individual model, but the "op-art dazzle" Buffalo inspired my razzle-dazzle Camel, and I _really_ don't understand why we don't see more of the "motion blur" diorama bases that the QF-104 "invented". It's SUCH a good, dynamic idea... the best I've managed is my "Top Gear" Aventador, but to my mind that's a game-changer for diorama display bases...

bestest,
M.

Hey, thanks for the kind replies guys. Matt, I've seen a couple of 'emulations' of my speedy-base online, so it's nice to know it struck a chord with some modellers.

These really are fantastic. I've just compared your airfix Helldiver and Kingfisher to the ones I put together and I can't believe they're the same kits - I'm now giving up modelling forever.
