Neil, if I had known it was gonna be like this I probably would have left the darned thing in the box. 'Sokay though,:thumb2: because I have big plans for it , stay tuned and thanks for the compliment.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks John, dio is in the works.....hope to show some more progress in the near future.

Hi Andrea, you are right about the last man standing, I had to really work to wear this guy down! Glad you like it!:thumb2:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Congratulations.
Quite a struggle but you beat it in to a real Bobby Dazzler.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee I hadn't expected to get it this far, truth to tell, and in retrospect I can now see where I really could have done better. I have one more of these in the stash.....it's a bomber version so maybe different tooling. No matter what they could do different it would be an improvement, I'm sure! Glad you like it! :thumb2:

Yes Lee, nothing like a good payoff to get rewarded.....ummmm...errr, you know what I mean right?

Calling this done before I run out of time.....I'll more than likely add more weathering, once I have decided on it's environment on the upcoming diorama. Thanks to all who supported my effort with this PIG model and I did enjoy the GB! Thanks to Dave (Gern) for hosting it. :thumb2:

We Rick you took the challenge and beat it into shape quite nicely.
Well done!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Came out well despite the battles Rick. It will look imposing in the dio…..

 

[Mini Me]

Thank you kind Sirs......now that I have had the experience of doing this one, I'll have better "luck" with the next when (if) I get 'round to it.

Awesome job Rick, I know those corrugations aren't easy to work with and you've done a sterling job on the markings

 

[Jim R]

Well Rick, it may have given you problems but you've certainly 'tamed the beast'. That is a great result especially in braille scale.

Beast is spot on Jim, glad it's behind me.....for the most part. Still got to fit it in on the dio I have planned.
