    the pilot stood next to the foot is 1/144 scale which works out at around 10mm tall
    time, patience and perseverance...…………….and a steady hand needed for that.

        I don't really have time for hobbies but do make the occasional model myself. Latest was a 1.24th scale 2014 Ford Mustang I got for Christmas. The wife and me spend a lot of time with the grandkids so other than detailing car there isn't much time for anything else.

        I wouldn't normally admit to this on an open forum but seeing as Rab has already embarrassed himself posting pics of his wall......I was a massive fan of Adam and the Ants back in the day and later, Adam Ant. Still have a few of their records in the loft. I still know all the words to his songs.

        I do watch a lot of films though and love US sc-ifi series. Loving The Orville at the moment.

            Orville is quite good, Star Trek discovery is really good on Netflix

                I don't mean the wall...The wall looked great. I meant the Adam Ant stuff.

                I forgot to add...I'm a massive Star Wars fan and I do like to fit some PS4 time in. Been playing Ark for the past year. Even rent my own Ragnarok server.

                  Yeah watch that too. Love it. Biggest show for me though is The Walking Dead. It's been a bit hit and miss in recent seasons but it's still my favourite.

                          Indeed it is very good money from what I have seen so far!!

                          A local company charges £40 per sq metre and the Vinyl I have found costs £5 per 5m roll. Print money!

                          I have cut 150 3x10 stickers for a local club so far and charged 30p each. Didn't use much Vinyl at all.

                              Bah nothing like that - All the rich knobbers drive those.

                              Would rather something more unique/rarer over here but still in the GM world..either Holden (VXR8/Maloo) or something yank.. Chevy
