Colin, if Si posts where his caravan is, me and thee will get there before him and tow it up to the Pentland Hills......sorted!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! It is my sanctuary, besides my missus will be awaiting to dish out some beats.

Yes miss my caravan as well. Would still have one but Pauline just loves a real mattress.Kept it in DInan in Brittany. Leave work 5:00pm in Dinan by 6:30 amongst the snails wine & langoustine.

Happy days.

Matter of interest my first flight ever was in a Dakota. They called them Dakmasters. Walk up hill to your seat. Given a sweety for the ears. Going from London to Jersey to live in 1962. The captain came on. "Don not worry about the bangs & clonks on the fuselage they are caused by ice falling from the wings onto the fuselage. -3 degrees in Jersey when we landed the land of the sunshine !

Apologies Si bit off subject. But I blame Ron & Colin & you started it SI.

Off topic...who cares, it is sharing and having a good laugh. Ice falling off the wings hitting the fuselage...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, it so easily good have ended up like my model!

Si, you've done it again mate. Superb use of this kit, and it looks the bees knees.

Bless you Joe, although this is finished I am toying with adding a few bits of debris in the snowfield.

Although this is finished I couldn't help but think it was lacking in something, so decided to add some debris, this particular model came with skis, which suited the board superbly, so added the undercarriage assembly and the ski all buckled and twisted. Also I added some ice effects, they actually look better in reality than in the piccies lol.

Cheers Andy, your spot on, well that was the idea lol. It had a problem, crash landed, ran along the ground a bit and then ended up in a frozen lake. The snow is a bit too course for this scale, but it also adds a bit of glittering so it catches the light well, used resin mix to do the ice and not pleased really as it sets too slowly and then goes off just like that with no scope for working with, will use Epoxy next time to create icicles. Glad you like it mate, appreciate you stopping by.

See it's not easy saying your taking a break is it mate , I know

Because I've had a bit of a bad cold this week and it's affected my eyes focus so I can't do a lot and it's doing my head in because I can't do more than a few minuets at a time
