I'm in before it fills up. The bogie units also look like the Warhammer 40k bikes:smiling:

I built one of these ages ago and used the same drawings. The only thing I found was on the hull and some other areas the plastic had started delaminating and flaking but I may have had a bad one. Looking forward to this

Hi Pete,
Don't you just love adding boltheads :tongue-out3:, works wonders for the eyes, dexterity and reactions chasing the little blighters across the bench when they decide to flick off and play hide and seek. :anguished:.
Keep up the great work.
Mike.
