hi Jon and welcome. you have certainly come to the right place for any help and advice you should need

Hola Jon - welcome on board

Nice choice of cars I'm guessing they mean you're around 5 years younger than me (coming up to 35? ... rather than knocking on the door of the big 4-0 ) ... which means the 1st time you saw Star Wars would have been on the TV, accompanied by the lingering aroma of brussel sprouts & interupted by poor quality adverts for furniture & carpet "sales", rather than on the big screen while slurping a carton of Jubbly ...

... sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there ... call it a combination of altering pill doses, having to pack off the last of my Star Wars toys to make room for RC cars, and paint fumes

Should also have said I don't know about anyone else, but I find seeing pics of/reading about the intervening steps far more interesting than seeing "before" & "after" pics - so don't be shy about starting a project thread

Welcome, Jon!

Great choice of cars. I agree with Jonny and would love to see the pics of the building process.
Give us a shout when you need any info.

how do agemax thanks for the welcome
