Hi Chris, Excellent work there, looking really neat and tidy, very impressive, well done. Nice sharp photos as well!! Is that a 1/4 scale Jaguar in the background or is it just a full scale catcat?? Regards ... Kev.

Hi Kev, That is a full scale Archie He is a lovely cat. I had no trouble building him Thanks for the nice comments. This my first attempt at something on this scale! I think the important thing with this build is to take your time as lots of memembers have said. After all we only have to wait until Christmas 2012 to complete it I hope we get offered those wet weather tyres and trolley at a later date like the japanese have. That would be sweet!!! Chris

Hi Chris, Quote:After all we only have to wait until Christmas 2012 to complete it .... Just AFTER the world comes to an end (December 12th 2012).... according to the ancient Mayans. Bummer, how am I gonna get the last couple of issues?? Regards ... Kev.

I know Kev, I have a mate in work that says exactly the same thing!! Couldn't they pospone it until mid Jan, so we can all finish and enjoy our models for a little while Chris.

Hi Chris, Tell your mate if he really believes the prophecy that much, he should quit work and spend the time eating, drinking and fornicating and just enjoying his last 15 months on Earth!! Regards ... Kev.
