Ok folks. We have enough intetest. Now the criteria. Have I set it too small with the 'bigger than a Lancaster' idea? Basically I think what I was getting at is going the next step up. Not just a couple of feet bigger but quite noticeably bigger.

All the best.

I think 'bigger than a Lanc' is a fine measure
You gotta have some line in the sand and that is as good as any
'Bigger than a Lanc' -including as big as so Lancs can be included

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I was thinking that the lanc being the starting line so anything bigger is ok but not a lanc itself. A Lincoln conversion however.....

All the best
