Cheers Rob.

Rob,
Good luck in finding all the parts, and finally finishing it, as it builds up into a really nice display piece straight from the box.

Hi Joel,
I completely missed this thread. That is magnificent looking Widow you built. Wouldn't happen to "Flory's magic liquid" you used to enhance the panel lines?
cheers,
Julian

Julian,
Thanks for those most positive words. And yes, I use Flory washes for my sludge washes. Easy on, easy off.

Thought so, looks fantastic. The Widow put up quite a fight I gather but you tamed her

I did a bit of digging around in the pile of boxes that is the current state of my hobby (since we moved in February!) and finally found my kit for this build . . . .



Now, where are those tool boxes

Damian,
Go for it. Will be following your build from start to finish. That is right after you find your tool boxes.

Hi Bruce.

It came out . . . . . and went straight back in again !

The consequences of taking on a more senior management role at work and having a large family with young kids, negligible bench time for yours truly.

Rest assured, this one is high on the list of to-do's.

Cheers, D
