First of how you all doing guys, its been a while. Hope you are all well and enjoying life.

This is a little project that has been sat on the shelf for two years. I decided to paint it this weekend with the aid of the magnifier. The tiny details and paint chips were a challenge but i like the result. the camo wasnt easy either.Hope you like it ,cheers ,Andy.

Another great looking build. Yes . If it wasn't for the last photo, i wouldn't believe this was 72nd.

Which kit is this by the way.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Ditto - the exact phrase that popped into my head as I looked through the pics...lol...

Incredibly work Andy....an amazing level of detail for any scale, but particularly noteworthy for braille scale!

Cheers,

Brad
