You've got to show us how you manage to make something so small and so good Bill.

Page 4 Vic I gave a brief on how I made this little sucker.
Just have to stack a bunch of crap till it looks like what one is after! LMAO
It's a bad picture up there, I did it with no natural light. Just did the overall painting, XF69 gray body, semigloss back section. Still have to paint the silver bits. Am doing the buckles this a.m.

To borrow the vernacular(been waiting 2 years to fire that baby into a sentence) of our non-Canadian speaking modeling family across the ponds, "Crikey". That is one awesome bit of scratch, Bill.

To use the vernacular of those of us on this side of the pond - b*gg*r me, that's bl**dy marvellous Bill!
Quick fix for the hat - mould a lump of 'Milliput' on to the head, shape it roughly to the shape required, and adjust by carving when set - simple, and saves a lot of work.

Thanks Geo, Vic.....
Terry, I just thought it sounded a little more dramatic wanting to expose the brain..... miliput will be the medium of choice.

If he was on the flightdeck, wouldn't a skull cap be the norm? Either that or the famous dixie cup.
