[Pikeman]

Must say Monica it looks like a very nice kit and you are doing a fab job 

 

[Guest]

Great build so far Monica. I really like the stowage, I use modelling clay to make stowage sometimes but because it is basically a form of mud I think.. and gets very messy to deal with, is das clay the same?

 

[Guest]

This just looks a mess Monica B| .


Excellent work.
