I think I've mentioned it before, but the 'Accident Board' in every RAF MT Section was always filled with horrific photos of black Minis, mashed on the road, dripping fuel, oil, blood and body parts.

I remembered what you said...in truth, it is the only reason I bought this model...

The mini Mini looks fab! I should imagine driving anything would be a come down after piloting a Lightning.

And you've given it to Harry Staish...

Nice mini.

[AKULA]

Managed to finish a pair of Saxons today...these have been on my painting table for a while. 

Metal 1/48 models from ASAM... they cost a few pennies new, but I found them on the web a while back. You can get a resin print for these now, but the weighty heft of the models kind of suits the Saxon.

Nice work on some classics. 

[CapnJim]

Love the progress here.  Keep it coming...

Enough Saxons to call the place Saxondale. Nice work on the wagons.

Great job on those! Wow, though, Saxons were ugly machines. All blocky angles and odd proportions. It is like they were designed to subdue opposition through sheer hideousness. They make Casspirs look elegant in comparison!

Never the less, surprisingly easy to camouflage, with a little imagination.

Fast forward to 6.42

Well, that's one way to do it....

4 years on... still going strong 

Bloodhound is finished...although there is a bit of a gap between the rubber nose cone and the missile body...might go back and try and fill that at some point.

Just to show the size of this thing, i've included an Empress mini in the shot...

Green with envy. Loving that a lot.
