Title: 'Splintered Snake'
Post by: Ian the Kiwi Herder on September 30, 2006, 10:41:43 AM
I love the way this wee thing finally turned-out. I think that it has a sort of 'retro' eighties look for the camo colours. Thanks, guys for all the kind words I received as this project progressed. Enjoy the pics.

Warn me first when you're going to post something THAT good, Ian[/size].  Least you could do is tell us it's in 1:32 scale to make me feel a little bit better.  The bitterness of my jealousy is making me nauseous, thanks a lot.   <_<

You know what I'M talkin' 'bout!

Sorry, IAN, edit made (I had just finished looking at Nev's fantastic 1:72 tank and got distracted).

Wowsers, outstanding piece of work Ian.  The idea is fisrt class and the execution is exemplary  :wub:  A real double-take whiff as it looks so very very right.  The instrumentation pod is nice touch too :)

I have never before ordered anything off ebay, but I will now be purchasing all the Starfix kits I can find.

Because it's time to start over from the beginning...

Gorgeous Ian, simply gorgeous!  :wub:
