I have my "project", if it's OK.

Yes, snap-together and paint not really needed but sufficient parts, many small, to be interesting.

Queue time for me to start running round like a headless chicken panicking about what I will build. Paints and glues etc not a problem. Choice of kit however? I may dog out something by FROG. A CBK is a strong probability. I'm not doing a daft one this time though, anyone remember when I blitz'd that Airfix Sunderland?.

All the best.

I'm neither brave enough or stupid enough to attempt one like that again but for your entertainment here's the link.

I rather stupidly shot my mouth off stating I'd attempt at least a series 6 (I think apple schnapps was involved in the equation). I didn't back down however and that was the result.

All the best.

And no, I'm not tempted to do a 1/24th Spit in 24hrs.....

Cheers guys. I wish I had the time to attempt a big model again but I'll struggle to get a Hobbyboss one done at the moment. Still, I'll get something done.

All the best.
