Cheers SI and Tomromel1!

Thanks Pocoloco! The more I look at the engine in the picture and the one I've started building, I don't like it. I've ripped it off and I'll start again. I'll still use the rocket bell and blue tank it's attached to but not the waterpistol bit!

Very nice. Kind of a futuristic campervan for multiple families. I can't wait to see it in all its glory.

Thanks Beefcake!

So I've got a good bit further with this. The top front corner has been filled in with scrap foamcore and polyfilla and sanded down to a curved shape. I've then used green stuff to smooth any dents out.

I've also sorted out my far side window issue. It's still a bit rough, but when it dries I'll sandpaper it.....either that, or hide it with the end paint job.

I've also changed the engine. It now has a turbine on the front. I've still got a lot of pipes and gubbins to make it more engine-y.

Oh....and I now have a flight stand....

Looking great, that engine is the business!

I'm constantly amazed at how you achieve such an amazing finish with plasticard, filler and green stuff. You are a true talent.

The windows look great, and the turbine really fits the bill.

V.jealous of your smooth lines with plasticard.

Good grief indeed, that's grand. The new engine works perfectly.
