Allen Wrench Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Love it! The T'rantula was one of my first models and I still think it's one of TD's best designs. Really like your take on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Cheers guys, that's the real upside of being retired, no downsides allowed, well over nearly 5 years none so far!I passed my school exams, in woodwork, metalwork, art and english 50 years ago and been building kits since the age of eight. I had an office based job so no creativity there, and made redundant 4 times and found other jobs totally different, pnuematic engineering, selling insurance, car leasing, warehouse fork lift driver, and postman in a large post based university, so modelling kept my sanity!I'm constantly looking at art and design (hope to design and build our own house some day, built our own cabin 5 years ago where I do all my 'work')) so these things help when it comes to building kits.
