      That is excellent. I can well understand why your granddaughter wants it. It would fascinate and entertain a young child.

          Looks great Paul. Were you not tempted to paint it?

            Not at all.......cos its laser cut it has laser burnt detailing on it a over but if i did another i might consider it.....lots of bright colours......would be easy to paint too on the 'sprues' before the parts are pushed out

              I wish my lad had thought of that!

              He's built quite a lot of laser cut pieces for his wargaming. The latest one was massive, and really hard to get in all of the nooks & crannies once assembled (he gave me the job!)

              Next one will definitely be primed and base painted before it leaves the sprue! ?

                    Thanks Paul.

                    I've got a couple of their smaller kits. I'll have a browse through their catalogue once I've sorted my problems with my cars.
