Thanks
There really is a huge amount of work that goes into these scratch builds. I started my first scratch build about 12 months ago and I couldn't tell you how many hundreds of hours I've put in on the four machines and their detail isn't even that great compaired to most. Building these models has helped get me through the worst period of my life too. I really like the build process so I would and will, buy more equipment to make the job easier for the next one. I don't have anything against kits I just have been raised by "do it yourselfers" if you will and enjoy the challenge of making something from nothing!
Thanks again to anyone who appreciates the effort
