LOL, thanks guys.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Great work on your Stringbag here. I’ll certainly follow your advice about using the Tamiya PE set for rigging...

Wow Steve! That is so incredible! Man, I can only hope one I do in 1/72 scale will be half as good. It'll already be half the size! LOL!

That's a great result! The Swordfish (I was almost gonna say Gladiator) looks wonderful!

That.... is the reason why I’ve always wanted to do a Swordfish kit. Such gorgeous lines on that pretty lady. Thanks for the tip on when to do the rigging.
