It is addictive ......and you get a piece of beauty at the end.!

The reasons for each build, and why the journey never ends with 1. Build #1: "Can I do it?" Build #2: "It'd be mad to just make 1". Build #3: "I enjoyed the first ones so much". Build #4: "Now I...

Attachment : mp-star.jpg Hey!! I'm very proud to present my first creation! (hopefully, of many!) I'll uploading a short video of the adventure soon. Feedback is very welcome (please go easy on me...

I went a bit OTT but it’s gonna look better when I take the pin striping off and get some clear on it, then it will come alive. I cannot capture the effect of it on camera, it’s just not picking it up...

Here is a quick flyover.
