      My turn Colin. There has to be a joke in there somewhere!


      I know I popped on a 'Like' at your initial presentation, but I have to add this is a superb build.

        Is that the big 1/32 DH2 or the 1/48 kit?

            It's the Eduard 1:48. It's a great kit, just a touch delicate.

              I'm sure I've talked about dirty birds somewhere. Now that is a punch line.

                    NICE! I have one in my in-box, but it is scaring me a tad to be honest!

                      I can understand why. But if you zoom in on my model, you'll see I've used (made) tiny little eyes out of very fine wire. I drill a hole and glue these eyes into place, then I thread the fishing line through these eyes. This makes rigging (at least in 1:48) much easier.
