How did I miss this?  Rather fond of the 38T variants, will be paying attention from now on.  |

More good progress there Gary, I think DML has a standard instruction book sheet/page size regardless of the kit in question so with ones like this with higher parts counts, they just squeeze things in as tight as possible! ;D

Sweet! This is a beautiful kit and when built to it's true potential can be a stunner - it's definately a testing build (imo)! I 'attempted' to build this nearly two(ish) years ago and it well and truly defeated me. I picked it up cheap from a buddy and looking back I should have waited until I'd accrued some more experience before attempting to build it. I knew I'd have problems but now I reckon I could give it a good shot!  I hope you pull this one off well bbd - you'll do it justice  Ben |

Hey Gary, you chose a Dragon model? So you have to deal with their instruction riddler  I think their idea is to sell a model and a puzzle magazine together BTW, great job either in solving the puzzle and building that SPG |

Hey Mark...."torcher box"....that sums it up pretty well for today! ;D Well it was PE bending time and things didnt go well. I dont have an etch mate or the like,...just glass and razor blades. Just wasnt enough this time. I was trying to build the PE shell storage bracket and said to heck with it ill just scratch one up so...i did! It went MUCH smoother! ;D   More tomorrow...I HOPE!!! ;D Gary |
