hi all
well its only been a few weeks and i guess you were all right about not giving up on the hobbie so i thought id just get a nice easy kit to see how i got on,i had a old Tamiya 251 in my stash and thought id build it and see how things went.well it went quite well and now here are some pictures to see that i have not lost it after 2 weeks :-)

its basicaly a Tamiya kit but i added dragon individual tracks, as the kit tracks are terrible.
sorry the pictures are not that good i will take more tomorrow when its finaly finished.

hope everone has a good christmas.and its great to be back

cheers karl.

About time Karl! Where's yer head been mate! Glad to see you back in the swing of things. Pity it's a Tamiya 25i instead of Dragon but you can't have everything eh? :-) :-)

Good to see you back behind the modeling desk Karl.
Resistence is futile, you know it.. .

The 251 looks good, would be good to see some brighter pic's. And nevermind that it's a Tamiya, at least these fit without any problems.... ( sorry Vinnie.. :-) :-) )

Cheers
