    Hi Rick,
    It will be on a base ready for the MAFVA nationals in June, the bases I ordered arrived on Saturday from Just Bases, and once sanded and sealed will be sprayed ready for the groundwork.
    Mike.

      Terrific build Mike. It's been a joy to watch it come together. It should win you a gong at the MAFVA's. Looking forward to seeing it on its base.

          Impressive to say the least, what a finish you have achieved Mike, Yvonne's crafting of the camo is perfection.

          For Gods sake don't tell her , or I'm not going to St Ives !

            You should see the cake making, I'm not afraid, I tell her what I think, although she has nearly caught me a couple of time when I thought she had gone out.... :worried:

                  I love it Mike!
                  Looks like a stealthy little devil with a big punch, will definitely steal your brilliant camo netting concept one of these days for sure!

                  Great job!...Jim

                    Hello Jim,
                    I have a mini tutorial in the wind for the camo netting, it will be on in a few days.
                    Mike.

                      Grass needs a trim around the edges, but at the moment letting the whole thing dry out.
                      Cheers,
                      Mike.

                        Wonderful Work Mike Older Person,

                        Great grass work even with out the trimming. The simple base really sets off the Rover nicely. Super job Sir and the whole project was fantastic to follow!!!

                        BTW, the Rover needs a haircut!!! We're not living in a damn hippie commune here you know...…………….

                          Yo! man, Younger Person,
                          Pleased you like the finished item, Have arranged barber, but he is in isolation - it's that country to the right of Greenland.
                          Hope you are staying well and away from the germs.
                          Cheers from man in his own hole....
                          Mike.

                            Thanks Mike, I am well and working my a$$ off at the moment shipping product. No table time and with all the chaos going on, it's good to see we haven't lost our sense of humor…...Take care.
