Thanks so much, Clint. Did you PM me photos of your Trimaster build? That would be grand to see again and again. Apologies if you already did; and thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if I did or not, I still haven't built a base for it yet. I do have it under a acrylic dust cover so it won't get damaged or dusty.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I’m gonna have to drill down in my emails to see what’s the what here, Clint. Apologies. I’m studying Tamiya Corsair cockpits thinking I can make the “egg in a basket” open cockpit design or not. I think it’s fairly straightforward. Famous last words!

I will follow your progress on that one like Palpatine followed young Anakin Skywalker.

(Don't forget the FF-project :whistle:)

Can't beat a good Corsair - looking forward to seeing this one progress Bruce!

Currently sat at work listening too (which I'm sure you'll appreciate)...

Stuart! Stuart! Your post cuts me most deeply as I missed Bob Burns night at the Daily Pint which is the only pool hall bar in Los Angeles where I take cherished friends and whose juke box contains the Blade Runner soundtrack. Basically the Daily Pint is THE place if one is a fiend for whisky of all sorts and drinking smoky fire water whilst getting an earful of Vangelis continues to be a major once a year necessity.

I thought you'd like it!

I've just looked up that pub online - that does indeed sound like a great place Bruce, and what a soundtrack to have on the Dukebox!
