Maybe he's putting all those now removed rivets on a 1/35th tank model :razz: .

Seriously though I hope every thing's going well. Maybe he's building and taking pictures and will upload them all at the end?.

All the best.

If his internet is playing up anything like ours was this afternoon he'll be trying hard to resist punching his computer in frustration......

Good luck with the build Mike, I just picked up one of those from ModelZone in Holborn London for £2.25 they are closing down and have a 25% off everything including sale price re-location sale.

From past experience the canopy is a poor fit so watch out for it.

Yeah, I'm missing his music choices -- from the good ol' days when entertainers stood on a reasonably bare stage and just sang, fully clothed, no special effects .... something called talent, I think ....

Checked in almost certain there would be something from Mike and… nothing. I take it nobody has heard from him? Feels kinda weird…

I hope everything is OK at Mike's end. It is certainly out of character for him to be this quiet!

It's been 48 hours, that's long even for an internet outage ...
I've sent him an email, best I can do ....
It's times like this I'd like a telephone roster handy ....

Clearly his local shop has run out of beer and fags and he's had to wander further afield.
At least I hope that's all it is!

This is worrying. Mike has sometimes posted from work so if his home internet was out of action he would probably let us know. I hope every thing's ok.

All the best.

If he has a family emergency or illness the forum and the internet may be the last things on his mind so a telephone contact may well be the only way we could get hold of him.
