Speedline Trent Build
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:17:07 am »
Hi All
I Thought you might like to see the Speedline 1/12 Trent build I am just starting.
I am a slow builder (not much time) so this could take a while.
Please feel free to ask any questions.















I will try to get some more done this weekend and post more pictures
