    Thanks Andy & Peter. I really enjoyed it as something completely different so will aim to do more after the current flurry of GB's.

      I don't have any scrapped or mothballed kits to raid, so even while it was under construction I was thinking: "what's the best way to acquire a bunch of suitable donor kits and parts on the cheap?" I'd love to try this!

        Thanks Paul.

        I'm keeping an eye out on ebay etc for incomplete or part finished kits going cheap, and collecting all kinds of plastic bottles and suchlike :tears-of-joy:

        Ideally I could do with raiding my lads stash. He's built hundreds of GW kits and keeps almost every sprue as they often have unused optional parts. That's three 45 litre tubs crammed full of greeblies to rummage through!

          Just pay him off for them - you know it makes sense!

              It's like tax - you pay it on your earnings, then pay it again when you spend it!
