Thanks Ian, Borsos , Des and Eugeny for the encouraging remarks. I greatly appreciate the fact that you have dropped by and made such positive comments.
Eugeny: I bought some of your engines some time ago and can honestly write that I was totally dumbstruck at the amount of detail that you have managed to get into such tiny pieces! This was my first experience of studying a resin kit and I simply could not believe that it was possible to do what you have done. I had already found your exceptional model, (for those reading this and who do not know of the article referred to, the model illustrated is 1/72 and cast in resin), and it was one of the reasons why I had chosen to try my hand at one, albeit in plastic. I have a feeling that the best part of my build when it is finished will be your engine! It is my intention that your resin engine will be shown uncowled and will be the focus of the diorama: I just hope that the remainder of the model will do it justice.
Stephen.
