Is she a Poodle? Carl PS I dont have much hair so my haircuts take about 5 minutes

That does look very nice and would not look out of place amongst a group of wood built models. Happy Modelling

Moving along at a pace and very well done. What a pity Heller have all the issues you mention because from i am seeing they certainly used to make a decent kit (not sure about recent offerings because you tend not to see as many as in the old days) Happy Modelling

Hi yes it is a shame, their kits are without doubt superb kits, in plastic without equal, it is such a shame about their customer care, funnily enough I had an email (the first since asking for the part) saying, in very poor EnglishDear Customer, You sended many mails, sorry but i have too mutch work to do, so in you mail you ask for the part 2, is it the Soleil Royal or La R�ale De France ? Regards, Customer service Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all here is tonights bit, I've corrected another flaw of this kit There is a big gap in the knee of the head (which according to the experts would not hold the weight of the head and should have been filled with carvings of some sort ) here is the gap  and (since i'm no carver her is my fix, I know its not very elaborate but it fills the hole)    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all here is todays efforts. The rear galleries should be open (in fact even on the boxart they are open) so I've cut them out(very nail biting as one slip and I could have ruined them) now I just have to do the floor on the 2 galleries.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.
