Right big elbows out and excuse me if I sneeze, but got to get to the front to see a remake of a model made during my childhood but to a much higher standard.
Mike.

Hi Mike glad you popped in there is always plenty of room, I hope it's a happy memory from your childhood as for a higher standard I doubt it for one minute knowing you I'm just having a bit of fun.

Looking great Pete. Colour next.....It’ll be fantastic with paint. Are you sure that beast isn’t an electron micrograph of the Corona virus?

Hi Peter thank you very much, this is a type of figure I like it can't be wrong as for the tonic hope there's some Gin and ice with that.
Sorry to hear you're not too good at the moment look after yourself and keep safe.

Hi Neil I think this takes one or two people back down memory lane you probably built 6-inch rat Fink on his own which you can still get it.

Hi Joe I think quite a few of you over your side of the pond grew up with rat fink by the sound of it, just hope I can do it justice.
Pete.
Just out interest whereabouts in Ohio are you, I lived in Chillicothe south of Columbus down the 23 for about 18 month in a satellite garage back in the early 80s which was multi franchised until it went all belly up and had to come to the UK.

Hi Rick glad you like my improvements still a bit more to do.

Hi thought I would try to up grade Drag Nut by adding some bootlaces and some hair protruding from his warts. I've used copper wire for this.















Hope you like it and thank you for looking in.
Pete.
