                  I've admired your build for countless posts, but I've never written anything here.
                  So it's about time! I find everything you do here incredibly impressive! I have the utmost respect for both the quality and the speed of your build. I take my hat off to your skills and your perseverance.

                        Fast running out of superlatives Brian - that engine room is awesome!

                        Really good to hear about that Tamiya drill, I've often wondered about getting that.

                              It's slow going and not very exciting I know but I'll keep you up to date.

                                I dunno Brian, we're modellers, we have have endless conversations about a 1000 different shades of grey and we literary find watching paint dry exciting. Holes being not just being drilled, but slotted, is nay-on orgasmic.
