HI Tim yea it is a blast from the past an whenever i look at it it makes me feel young again an yea why not have a big model if youve got the room for it as in a big model you can get in more detail an i just wish i had took better pics of it but at the time i could not afford a decent camera but then these pics are better than none at all thanks for lookin in Tim cheers :thumb2:
