Ian's timely post reminded me that you are doing a Tamiya figure....With Adrian, that makes three of us!

I notice you too going off on a bit of a tangent too.

It will be great to see what you come up with.

Cheers,

Ron

I hope so Ron. I'm wanting to do something with this one, but i need be able to move the great coat, so i need to get the thinking cap on

Looking good so far Ian mate, going to pop back and keep an eye on this build.

Have fun, John

Looking good Ian, if your not putting on the trench coat you may need to thin out his belt or add a little to his trouses (just a thought) hope u dont mind the comment.

Have fun & enjoy.

John

PS what are u thinking off doing with the trench coat, here is a pic or two of my efforts hope u dont mind.

Hi John thanks for the tip about the coat. I still need the coat its that i need to remove it to show the changes, but i dont want to go into too much detail , as it will spoil the suprize if you know what i mean ? and may i also say some great work on your figure

 

[papa 695]
