fnick Posted September 6, 2020 Author #97 Posted September 6, 2020 Hi Ragove. Thank you for the suggestion. I have seen that one done however I do have an alternate idea I'm hoping will work which if it does will look a damn sight nicer than my driveway!🙂 Cheers,Nick Egilman, lmagna, popeye the sailor and 3 others 6 Quote Le Mirage by fnick - Corel - 1:75

fnick Posted September 6, 2020 Author #99 Posted September 6, 2020 Thanks Mark! If I had planned it a bit better I would have got some decals for the white side stripes which would have looked pretty cool.

fnick Posted September 23, 2020 Author #102 Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks Mike! Appreciate the comment. Also reminds me I took a few pictures with my DSLR. This last one was an attempt at a diorama using a backdrop. Idea is ok in principle. Just need access to an A2 printer!🙂 Thanks for looking.
