spot on there matt ,
i was the same when i first started , would plough through a model in no time .
the best models i have produced are the ones i have started and then left for a few weeks/ months then gone back to finish .
anyone waiting for a completed model from me will know this , i will not rush one i am doing for someone else no matter how much it is worth to me .
there is also no such thing as a ruined model in my book as i have restripped countless models and started again

decided the bmw is too good to molest , the only damage to it is a small pink decal on the front bumper which i can replace easily , so will be another addition to my ever growing collection.
pics to follow in a mo.
the bargains i got today were exactly that bargains .
got a sierra rs 500 texaco no- 67 which i think are quite rare now
rs 200 rally
and a minichamps e30 m3
very cheap too.
