And then most likely chuck out the model with the peanut shell packaging Ron! ☹️ 😎 ▲

I can just see this going to market. Pay a junk of money; you get a large box with great photos and art work. Then open up the box 📦 and filter through the packaging to see two parts. A stand and a small plastic shape...whaaa no decals?

Fantastic Martin. I will save you some scrap for your next project and send it to you in a thimble. Should be enough for several Tugs.
Brilliant!!👍👍👍👍 ▲

Hi Bill,
Definitely not showing off, just messing about, that is why i had to have a go at the 1/2" Springer. I will get back to my u552 and stop messing around. Martin555. ▲

Martin - that's getting ridiculous - how can you even see what you are doing at that scale - you should be a specialist in micro surgery at a hospital - you really are incredible.
JB that looks like a picture of an African Bush Baby - otherwise known as a Pookie. Everyone wanted one as a pet - until discovering not only were they nocturnal (hence the eyes) but as they lived in trees - and spent their time jumping from branch to branch - they peed on their hands before each jump - and if they were jumping onto your shoulder as they liked to do - well.......... ▲

Wow Martin! Just when we thought you had reached the limit, you astound us again by halving the scale. What’s next? Camels through the eye of a needle?

Martin, I had to get my magnifying glass to see this one. They say dynamite comes in small packages, you've certainly blown my mind.

Well Doug,
I have suffered from madness since birth and just lately it has been getting worse. I use the excuse that it is the lockdown but i know the truth LOL!! So the outcome is frantic tinkering when the medication wears off. Martin555. ▲

Has it got enough room to turn in that bulb? Is it just two channels, or did you add lights? LOL 😂🤣 Brilliant!! Graham93 ▲
