I'm not sure if you've been asked this previously but are you documenting your build on video?  Would be a great watch and learning utility for noobs like myself?

There are lots of vids on the web site MartyJ - best to start at the bottom though and work up so you can see the development and evolution of stuff -

Just click the "Construction" tab and scroll to the bottom and start from there.

Hi Nug,

Mate, without teaching you to suck eggs, just please make sure that whatever CC you use is compatible with the paints you have used, if youve used all enamel or a mix of acrylic and enamel etc.

Ive gone in blind myself before and watched in utter horror as a weeks work went like melted cheese within 30 secs.

You only do it once, but its also once too many

Well done Nick & Nug! It's obvious you're putting in a big effort. Thanks for the updates.

So who is doing the fine art? You or Nug?

I don't actually **do** anything. it's all nug - he's the brains, the artist, the rule maker, the software guy, the ramp maker, the everything maker - I'm just the spokesmodel!   <.>
