Hey guys, I'm back!
Certainly been a while, but I was logged in and a frequent user back in the day
Participated in the MP4/4 and MP4/23 builds and had my MP4/23 bodge into the Brawn GP build
Been busy with house moves, renovations, extensions, a few gundam builds, lego builds and have gotten into building bar top and 3 quarter scale arcade cabinets to keep me occupied in my downtime
Well I'm back this time for the iconic Lotus 97T build
Have been collecting parts in the background over the last 20 months or so and did actually make a start last month, so will upload my progress in stages so far, and update as and when I get through a handful of episodes
So watch this space
Are there any O.Gs still about?

Kicking off!
Finally after collecting the parts for all these months, decided to make a start, and hopefully, by the time the final delivery comes, I'll be in a position to finish off

The build started off well, although had my first mishap and pushed down on one of the parts a little hard and broke it off

Loving the no glue kit start though

Pics for your viewing pleasure:

I just upload my pics direct from my PC.
As long as they are no larger than around 140kb they show on the page.

What stages have you received up to? My latest delivery is getting held up through lack of stock. Have you got stages 63-68?

Thanks Roy, will have a look later today to see if I can get my images reduced in size, might be the reason they're not showing up

Hey Steve, I'm up in the hundreds at the moment, think I've got 1 or 2 deliveries left to go
I didn't start building the kit until after about 18 months of collecting so I knew I would have a decent run of it
