been reading your posts for a bit now, when i look through the forum i see complaints about cant get this, somethings no good, such and such a company does not make this, how someone needs a lathe/milling machine to create this or that, big discussions about motors and esc`s, kit bashing and many more topics
then i see what you achieve, more especially how you achieve, your ways around things, tbh mate i take my hat off to you, im not happy because the nearest shop thats remotely usefull is 15 miles away, most of the time i need to use the web, i used to consider myself a modeler- now i realise compared to what you do i am as far from being a modeler as Genghis Khan was to peacefull protest

Have to second that wholeheartedly treeboa, do wonder how the heck he finds anything on his bench though! {-)
Krishna the term 'foamboard' is that our styrene equivalent? You are without doubt a very clever cookie and modeler extraordinare O0
Regards, Tony.

I just hope there's a team of Krishnas ... he's producing models at a rate which, were I speeded up 50 times, wouldn't be able to match!
