Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The Star Wars stuff wasn't a personal choice but snowballed after one commision build. All of these have been done for one collector and there is more to come. I'll put up some other pictures soon.

Boots & Steve, the artwork was a refreshing change during the lockdowns. Probably be more next year.

Andy

Thanks TG Great to be here!

Cheers Ian. The Vulcans were the original Airfix release and so were a real challenge, definitely not for the faint hearted.. I plan to get one of the new tooling one's for myself.
