Hi Andy, some more impressive work from you, really enjoying following your progress with this one....  .. Can't help wondering what it is like trying to model build wearing a pair of gloves, just think for me it would be more of a annoyance rather than a help.... can understand why though....  .. Keep posting, loving it....  Regards Alan

Hi Alan The gloves are a must to prevent the greasy stains that naturaly occur from your fingers but its like wearing rubber gloves 1 inch thick at times, thanks for looking in and your comments regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Alan There's only so much they can send per month and as this is more of a construction and not a build in the sense of the SotS, must say im enjoying it though. Thanks for the congrats on S/E I hadn't noticed  regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy, Oh sorry, Mr Super Elite  I am loving watching this come together. I can`t wait to see all the sections come together though, I`m sure it will be stunning. Will you be putting this in a display case, as I see you are taking great care not to get finger marks on the panels? Keep it going !! Congrats on your rank update Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Delboy Thanks for the congratulations and i havent quite decided about a case but i think it will be better to put it in one. Im just hoping the box that you can pack all the armour in will be supplied as this is what tyhe stand sits on aswell regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All Another bulky package arrived today  so here are some pic's on progress. The first pack contained the parts to finish off the back plate and the wood stand then it was time to assemble the parts using the pin and hinge system employed. After that the assembled breast plate/sides and back plate armour was hung on the armour stand, still have more tasset's and things to add this month more pic's soon regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy When its on the stand it gives you a good idea of how big it will be and how impresive it looks regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Alan The more that arrives each month makes you realise what an outstanding high quality part work this is. Not once have i had any issue's in quality and would reccomend this to all [ now iv done it my next issue will get flatened by a truck] . It is no way an easy assembly as the lacing takes time and cocentration to get right but once its done is rewarding in its self. Thanks for looking in and your comments regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All Finally got all this months issue finished, made up the neck guard and two more tassets with mini toggles and attached both to there relevant places. To the back plate there was a small leather pillow to attach and the banner holder at the top. Then the various cords to attach that when tied seal up the armour.

Hi Andy! I'm surprised at such complex building. I did not build this kit before, but I have now understood that I can not do this. Best Regards, Yutaro DeAGOSTINI 1/250 the YAMATO, 1/250 the AKAGI.

Hi Yaturo Thanks for looking in and your comments but I do not agree it looks more complicated than it is and its the lacing that takes up the time but it is in the end very rewarding. I still think you could do this regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
