| I would like to see ur pics slightly brighter Keith, as the lack of light dulls some of ur details, and u should be very proud of them, cause this model kicks major ass man...... The pics u took of ur 109 were real dark, except for the last couple shots on the diorama....

  | Yeah, the pics are a bit dark so some of the smaller details are lost. Still it is an excellent model!

| Thanks lads, it was bit sunny here today, and I took them in a hurry cos I was heading off for a couple of days. But since some scumbag car thief broke my steering wheel, I'll be going nowhere! I'll take some more pics and substitute them.

| Cheers Chris The cowling is painted white, the black squares are decals. A bit fiddly and they need touching up with paint in places, but they turned out ok. There are 2 other butcherbird options, one with a yellow/black checker scheme, and a red/black one. I might build them all!

| Heck Keith! Out of a total of six wheels on your car (including the spare) some t**t had to bust the most important one! Hope you can get it sorted, and catch the numpty that did it. The application of a wheel brace to his head half a dozen times, whilst repeating the mantra 'Thow shalt not touch my car again' should work wonders. OK, not for him, but it'll give you great satisfaction!

| Thats exactly how I felt yesterday Terry. The cops just took down the details and said they'd give me a crime report for the insurance company. Basically they're going to do feck all about it. But what can they do? It happened outside my parents house. They reckon it was targeted for use in a ram raid. They didn't take anything, stereo & i-pod are still there, and a pair of ray bans. They just wanted the vehicle, and when they broke the steering wheel, they left it. There has been a few 4x4 robberies in the area lately that have been used to ram storefronts and remove the stand alone ATM's. If it happened outside my house, they probably would have had new assholes torn by the dogs.
