Thanks to all for the kind words!

   Very nicely done Gary, great detailing, lovely finish and I enjoyed following your masterful process as she "morphed"  from a bunch of plastic bits into a beautiful model. Looking forward to seeing the Completed section photos.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for that, Lance. When I first cracked the kit open I worried that I was "spoiling" a very valuable item from it's high-price on Ebay, but then again as you say, they are all just a cardboard box full of styrene bits which we can make into something enjoyable and interesting to look at. I've just started another - a D.Va - because I enjoyed building this one so much. I felt no remorse cracking open my Green Tail Trilogy "kitset"  ;)
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Steve - sorry the photo is not of best resolution. It's an American Strat - my son's actually. He's got MS and can't play anymore...so I "borrowed" it and play it for him when we pop in to visit.
Cheers,
Gary

Nice detailing work, Gary.  The ones on my Albie were made from a wound guitar string.

Am I dreaming, or have you done the exhaust gaskets the right colour? Absolutely incredible model and detail!
