Thank you Gandale,Andy,and John for taking the time to look at my build. well John said how do I keep them so shiny,I will post a few more pictures and you can see what I did guess you have to have a bit off nerve after 6 months tiling.        And the rest is in the wrist. Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Some nice pics and the tiling looks great. are you going to lacer them or levee them to tarnish and age naturally? “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Jase, Thanks for looking in,we'll it took me 6 months to do and the only way I found to remove and settle the tiles was to rub down with wet & dry,and then I found it all looked much better then polished by hand. So with all that rigging and bits.I will let it age naturally. Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev Your method of polishing the tiles has also added an unforsean bonus as you have filled all the gaps with a natural looking dirt and thus aged the tiles ,nicely done Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Mr T, Thank you for your comments,yes I have had fun this year with my helis also I have had fun repairing them,at present I have , 3 Syam SO 319s 1 flying. Other two are spares. 1 Syam SO 339 3D yellow. 1 Syam SO 22 SO 310s are a bit limited but good for basic training. SO339 3D this is more advance model than above great to fly. SO 22 this a small Army Chinook good to fly but small. This year I upgraded to KDS Innova 450 QS this is a beast with its on rule book should you let it,this model has no morels it will trim anything in it way, it will fly upside down and mow the lawn if you let it.I have still to master it !!
