I'll check in later Mike as Mrs W is starving to death and will butcher me for food if I don't cook her up a meal as promised :grin: I'm looking forward to this however, MMD build threads are always worth a look.

The last time I tried something like this (way back at the start of the blitz) it damn near beat me. Let's see if I've learned any lessons (bet you I haven't)

Music? Sort of. David Lynch released an album a couple of years ago and it sounds exactly like you'd expect a David Lynch album to sound. I kind of love it.

I was thinking maybe 1974 West Brom Away colours?

Yes, it's getting the "Japanese" camo scheme. Always a fun thing to do.

Ah - A target!
I'm pretty sure it has an engine... somewhere..

I'm saving on the photos due to the minuteness..

slowly but surely.

Listening to William Shatner's 2004 record, The Has-Been .. yes, it's the one with his cover of "Common People" on it, but beyond that frippery it's one of the most brutally honest, painful and darkest records I've ever heard. Bill looks back at his life and you could cut the regret with a knife. I'm not joking. It's dark. And great. Really, really great.

Regrets....I've had a few.

Another little un then. Cool camo scheme. Should be a challenge. Time for a beer I think.
