I would say my comedy 'skill set' is more Bobby Davro instead the much inferior Tarby

Surprising how different it looked once the blue started to come off. Excuse poor camera phone pics.

The 'new look' better be good after all of this hype!!! Or you might have a few challengers for 'Grand Wizard'.......Paul has been tempting us with shiny thingys remember!!!

It is impossible to challenge the Grand Wizard - you should know that!

The new look is only in my mind at the moment (further clue in my signature!)

The garage where it's at belongs to a friend of mine - Justin or Mac to his friends.

Mac's face was a picture when I spent 30 mins going through my list of things to do which included numerous sets of sub instructions and 10 reference pictures! :lol:
