Post 'em LT, I'd love to see them too! Have you done anymore "Large Scale" figures? The last one you did Rocked! You are still the Man LT, always will be.

Yes please. Any info and pics on figure painting would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot of magazine articles and some stuff in books but they always seem to assume that there are bits we already know. Leaves a lot of holes.

Ditto on the figures...I'd love to hear you methods on scratchbuilding figs LT. It amazes me the results that come about from mixing and matching body parts like that. Really lends a uniquness to a dio, though.

I still haven't got around to the headlights for the Dingo. I am going to try to come up with something tomorrow. The rest is just about done. A bit more to do on the figures and then a base for the whole thing. That will be enough for this one.

Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

For my part I must say that it really don't look good with the timeframe. I haven't even been able to build while I've had the flu (2½ buggerin' weeks). n' now when I try to regain the controll of the misshap that my build is I'm havin' serious trouble with my motivation. The fit leaves more than a lot to wish for n' I've yet to this date used so much putty on a kit in order to remedy a bad fit. Oh bummer...
