    it just tidies up that visually unimpressive area!

    Hi Jonathan,

    Do you spend a lot of time at the model shop in the High street then? (I think it's called Junction Box?)

    I must say I think this model is wonderful, the bit I like most is your 2 din stereo with sat nav.

    been to the signal box model shop a couple of times (but it's mainly train stuff), that's where the plasticweld comes from (small brown bottle of solvent glue!) although the number of model shops to choose from has declined alot, as todays car model collecting yoof go for the 1/18 easy option ready built die-cast stuff.

    and the satnav has the map of the M4/Japfest on it.... the devils in the detail as they say

    Even got the correct wheels! I must say, brilliant job!

    Used to enjoy that sort of stuff, but I have zero time & my eyesight can barely see bits on the 1:1 version sometimes.

    My 1:12 came already mounted in a display case & is an utterly incorrect 1990 spec, but I'll live with it...

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    Absolutely brilliant!! I wish I had the time to do something like that...i used to love building models...now with two young children...the youngest being the most destrucive...i fear if i invested time in making a mini me it may not last very long!!

    Well done though mate!
