You would have to have small legs to use those jump seats. OC.

Can I please take up some of this space and users time to showcase a guy who is like our own - commited to model building, he has created a Superb range of Display cases that are basically - made to measure. Give this chaps site a look over - he is based in the UK so I can not vouch for his distribution over seas (you would have to check with him). Anyway here is his info - https://acorndisplays.co.uk/ OC.

My Martin Baker MK10's have arrived and Superb little jobbies they are will have to wait though as I need to order some Super Glue. OC. -
Thank you kindly, thats a combination of the detail that comes in Perry minitures and a bit of shading then highlighting to pick out the profile sections - nose / cheeks etc same with the hands. OC.

It has a Image stabilizer on the lens with Two settings - One is a basic version for static objects and the other one is called Sport Mode, thats designed for moving subjects, both give about 4 stops of stabilizing, but I use high enough shutter speeds with things like that - normaly over 1/1000sec generaly higher, no need for a monopod or tripod also its all about mustle memory like firing a rifle. OC. -
I was thinking the same as Mike. OC.

Back to my other hobby - what I am able to get out of my rig - flying over on airways from Amsterdam to the US at roughly 35K. OC.

I can relate and understand where this is going - many many hours of enjoyment for us, and especially for me. OC.

Adding a Third note of approval - looking Superb Mike, when you get your eyesight back can't wait to see what you build next. OC.

Thank you so much Mike, it was a very interesting build, and great adding a bit of artistic license. OC.

Not for me mate guess they are a bit like Marmite you either love or hate. OC. -
So, these KGL are nearly finished but next I want to try to make some up in a few better firing positions - problem is the sprues only come in Two positions, so a possible fix is to pinch some of the Victrix and Perry arms from the Line Infantry and sand down thier buttoned cuffs and just paint on the Black half diamond cuffs after. Why the companies have not made more plastic/resin 95th Rifles/KGL lights I will never know - they are available in Diecast but I dont like the detail in them - much preffer working with plastic. OC.
