HI guys , don't mean to hijack this thread ,but i feel i should apolagise for the comments I posted about PJVANMANs modified 1/18th Escort vans,
the comments were unjust and uncalled for , I had rather a lot to drink and put my mouth into gear before my brain, no excuse I know but I regret the comments I posted.Sorry as well to MODEL MAD for my comments.
I don't know you all personally and I have quite a small collection of models ,but I enjoy viewing the models and the builds in progress and posting the odd pic and comment , its something I look forward to as a way of relaxing after work in the evenings ! hope I have'nt alienated myself to much though..It won't happen again !
Happy modelling ....
