I know you've all seen hundreds of these now. But to me this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. I've got huge plans for this build, it will definately not be box art. The down side is with 2 children of 1 and 2 I'm not sure when I'll find the time. But I will and hopefully the hard work will pay off...

Blisters all in place...

RallyeBaz, the blue bag look good, but doesn't have much use. Its designed to fit vert neatly over the box. So most of us will use it to keep the box protected I guess, its very thin. Just spent the evening trying to get the kids to sleep and reading the manual. Its like being 11 again.. thanks for your comments..

Would love one of these. But I'm disappointed that the didn't put the original bodyshell with it. Enjoy the build. I find 5 in the morning is a good quiet time for modelling. 2 children 3 months and 2 years.

I've got an original shell that I will do box art. This shell I plan to modify quite a bit... Thanks for all your comments..

Thanks Olli, I've some interesting ideas for the body, quite a few changes. Hopefully you won't laugh at the finished item, it will probably be about 2015 by then..
