              I do have this in the stash as my offering if it's acceptable [ATTACH]118510.IPB[/ATTACH]

              A 1/16 armoured vehicle would have to be next year for me but I could easily squeeze a 1/16 figure in before the end of the year if that would be acceptable.

                  As I've mentioned before the upgrades, after market parts, scratch building possibilities and paint jobs make a Heng Long modification a really interesting build. This isn't mine but it shows what can be done:

                        Your right Richard it does look good but you'd think for the price the aftermarket stuff could have been included , I wonder what the actual extra outlay is to make it look good


                        This is the reason I stopped making battleships

                          It's very hard to make choices at times. I've now built up a good collection of cars that I don't want to miss out on, some have cost a fair few pennies and the aftermarket gear is not cheap either.


                          The other day I ordered a few 3d printed parts for my studio scale millennium falcon subscription and they came to £130 ish. I could have spent way more but I weighed up the cost versus quality versus scale and decided to save the extra for something else. I've had so little work this year I can't justify much and a baby is on the way. This was a big outlay.


                          In my old jobs I'd only be able to afford the cheapest of kits and paints so I am very aware of the value of things to me and in general.

                            There's buying add ons to make a different variant but having to buy things to make a kit look like it should is wrong IMO that should be in the kit you buy

                                I can promise you the figure as an entry to your sig but will have to make a final decision on the car after I've dug it out to see how much work is involved. Thanks John
