Hi all
Well folks - roughly equal amounts of perspiration and MicroSol coupled with language unsuitable for those of an easily offended nature and we are almost there :tongue-out3:













As always I really appreciate your interest :thumb2:

Jim,
Your patience has paid off that looks great.

Are you sure that's 1\72 scale cause that close up of the nose is outstanding.

Excellent work Jim. Like you I've built the 1:72 I wouldn't mind the same again in a bigger scale.

[Wouter]

no great work without foul language, it's part of the job :P
Looking amazing there Jimbo!

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Jim,
Your methodical approach really shines through. A credit to you sir:thumb2:
Oh, and I’m not telling tales but Peter nearly did a swear :smiling5:

This is looking absolutely superb Jim, loving the paintwork and those decals are challenging to say the least but you’ve totally mastered them. Only one problem with this build though - it’s making me want to get one of these and my stash ain’t getting any smaller!!!!! Top class work mate , cheers tony

[SimonT]

I hate decals!

You are doing a grand job of them Jim - love the bright orange

[Guest]

Lovely work Jim :smiling3:.

[JR]

Yet again I've missed the build, apologies for this Jim .
Don't know how you've managed this in the scale it's so good. Every time I attempt to spray any of the metal paints in the older Vallejo ranges my ab ends up with thin threads and lumps on the needle.
Are you using the lastest paints.

Hi all
Thanks guys. 'Tis done. I've enjoyed this Starter Kit GB - thanks Peter for setting it up. Doing the same kit without restrictions has been quite an eye opener. It has shown me how much I rely on all the 'extras' in the hobby and yet I have had fun building both Vampires. Pictures in the completed build section.

Jim,
That is a cracking result. And it made me think about the last time I built anything out of the box.
