      Thanks Andy.
      The kit was fun to make.

      For a project like this, I also enjoy getting stuff together - 'Trees' from the garden, backgrounds and various other things and then moving them around to get the final result I'm happy with.

      Glad you approve of the finished model.

      Ron

          Very impressive Ron.
          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                      A big thank you to Tony and Bob for your great posts.

                      Tony..........and an even bigger dollop of luck!

                      Bob. Thanks again for suggesting and running this G.B. :thumb2: Sorry the build was a bit abrupt and perhaps not in the spirit of G.B.'s, but the kit lacked any detail worth showing.:disappointed2:

                      Cheers chaps.

                        Just found this 570.
                        Great layout , love the use of silicone and the cling film.
                        The Committee also were impressed.

                            Hi Ron
                            The rally dips really came out well. And you look to have had a lot of fun doing it. I especially like the water splash but the pair really do make dynamic dioramas (that last bit makes them sound like a couple of superheroes but you know what I mean).
