I'd take that reject bin. Better than I could make most likely. Work of art.
Nice work Mark.

You would need to make the lids...add hinges and latches... but if you want it pm me your address and I send it off to you

Been waiting for a half decent day to finish painting... been very damp and humid here in SW Florida ! ...I don't like painting indoors as the over spray dust gets everywhere ! had a good day a few days ago and managed to get some items painted.... so close to the finish line :mrgreen:

Was able to get the rest of the turret painted this morning...oddly enough there was a drop in the humidity do to the Sahara desert dust in the atmosphere according to the weatherman...how fitting as this is an African tiger... I now have to wait several days for the paint to fully cure as I use an oil base wash which will affect the paint if I didn't wait

Looks a superb model. Just need to see it in its natural environment :-)

I'd kill for a workshop that size. It looks about the footprint of my whole house :shock:

And is that a huge jet engine on the shelf ?

It's a fantastic model you have built, Mark. I will bookmark it as a reference and get back here a zillion times to check how you did it.
And thank you so much for the time you have invested in documenting the build for us to try to follow. My deepest bow! :D

One of the best i've seen in 13 years of watching the builds on the forum, it takes a lot of dedication to this level not to mention ability, well done, regards simon manning.
