I have finally gotten to the stage I can read without wanting to projectile vomit, and read without falling out of the chair. I sit here in the hospital, with tubes and bags, having little morphine dreams. Finally able to check the forum to see if I have done okey dokey.
Thanks for all your positive replies. Color of top roundels blue is much darker, the color of the flash lightened them a lot. Shiny, yes a bit too shiny, and I've got the heebee jeebees from this surgery and I don't think I want to bugger it up trying to correct it at this point in time. By "first" build I mean first complete to scale while trying to be competition accurate, and I have enjoyed doing it for this GB.
A few more days in hospital and then home to look over the Commonwealth project.
