Lovely job on the casting, I actually like the colours in that!
My only criticism is I don't like the fat girl with a belt look, personally I would have loved that as a streamline, but that's just 'my' preferences.
Nice finish too, well done:thumbs::thumbs:

Well done with the pen casting and the video, Nigel.
I agree with the streamline comments.
If I have any old slimline kits ( though I think they are all gone now) I throw away the centre band and use a streamline one or make one myself.
It gives you more timber to play with.

good plan, but i dont have any streamline stuff..personally i prefer losing the centre join all together and having one solid body, but i couldnt do this with this casting as i made it too short :whistling:....youu live and learn
