Luigi,
The WW and dio base is looking very impressive my friend!
I’m sorry to hear about your house maid, I know I would go raving mad if some one cleaned my mess up. But thankfully, with a close, tight community like this Dicky was able to help you. That’s a sign of true friendship in my book. Kudos to Dicky!

I was not involved in any house maid affair.....I wish that to be made public record!!! LOL, you could say "I'm mr. Wolf, and I solve problems" |

Luigi that base is sweet. I went back a few pages to see some progress. You threw away the hood? I've thrown away small bits many time but never any anything that big. Not a mistake I reckon you make again. But I've said that many times too.  |

Thanks all for the great comments Marc it wasn't my fault, the housemaid has thrown it away, not me  Now let's hope the mail arrives soon, thanks again Neems |

Nice looking base Luigi.
Good to see the problem was solved by Nemo. Quite sure he enjoyed using some white stuff again. I've no maid but the pets do like to play with parts. team work actually. The cat knocks stuff off the bench and the dogs chew on them. Why do you think I build mainly wrecks...LOLOLOLOL

Base is looking top class buddy Only MrD could scratch up a part and mail it with any hope of it fitting when you get it , I can't make the stuff fit what's on the bench in front of me ! |

Thanks a lot, guys Royal mail combined to Poste Italiane posponed my build, the lid hasn't arrived yet (anyhoo it's normal, it takes at least 15 days from the UK to my home), but I decided to go on with what I already have Here you are a little progress: Hope you like it, as always ACW |

Unanimous....the Postal service is lousy everywhere in the world!!! Sorry the parts have not arrived yet, Tractor is still looking awesome though. Looking forward to seeing this get dirty!!

Looks like you're taking full advantage of the time available before the replacement arrives.

Thanks you all guys for stopping by Dicky it would have been a pleasure to receive it from your hands Carl, a friend of mine explained me that european postal service has a single clearing station where everything must pass, and this makes everything slower... |
