Well I'm pleasantly embarrassed! Thanks Kenneth for your kind words about the design. And Michael's instruction sheets are way beyond anything I could have done!

For those wondering, the main omission is wiring - I just couldn't get 3D-printed wiring to happen due to its tiny size, so if hyperdetailing is your thing there's plenty of scope to add wires to the dashboard. You'll need two diameters of Evergreen plastic tube for the gun (specs are in the instructions) and a sheet of clear plastic as Kenneth points out - my packet of Evergreen clear 0.010" has so far served all my window needs for about a decade now, so is a modelling bargain...

And yes, I'm collaborating with Michael on other goodies - details will be released in due time!

What a cool alternative to simply building another Leo!

Looks great and cheaper than Shapeways.

Makes my old vacuform one kinda redundant. On my birthday wishlist for sure. I've used a number of LW detailing sets and have never failed to be impressed.
As you say Frank, a chance to build something other than "just" another Leo.

Yeah, for sure. I’d like to do an Opfor Leo one day, too.
