Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Thanks for taking the time to look and all the positive and encouraging remarks you’ve been kind enough to make – except you Nev, no more “Scooby-Doo’ism’s, last warning ! 

Not even to "explore the bedrooms" with Daphne? :wub:

Turned out great (again) mate.  Now stop making me sick by churning out one great model after another.

Thanks again, folks for all the very positive comments. Really appreciate them. You'll be pleased (or not) to know that the next project has already been started, and as a first task, some plastic surgery was carried out. I've started a new thread - but am going to keep the identity of the aircraft a secret for as long as possible !!

A last word from me on the Gripen/Griffin - Loved the build, simple, enjoyable and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the kit to anybody as a perfect way to overcome AMS or if you just want something quick to build/paint/display. I haven't even replaced the seat in mine and I'm very happy with the finished model. And at just £16.00 it's VERY good value-for-money.

Tiger, tiger burning bright....  Lovely smart job as always Ian! :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
