You've got me hooked Martini! I'll be logging on in expectation on the hour every hour. My BRM's still in the pending file, so I hope you'll make all my mistakes for me!And I think the duck egg blue is great and should be adhered to! Mmm, municipal loos....

Duck egg blue, perversely, is a sort of pale green I believe. But now the real question is can you make it throw pistons out of the side and dump oil on the track just like the real thing?
But thanks for a great project- this is REALLY interesting. JP- have you sent Mr Martini his Model Cars plan? It'll have to be the three-armed pullover otherwise.

Which old sod are you referring to, Prof? I didn't know we were allowed to use that sort of language 'ere......

Sorry Prof. Just having a laugh. I bet your Irish friends talk about the `auld sod' as in 'turf'. But here in Blighty an old sod is somene you should never turn your back on.
Please carry on with the slot car stories! Don't mind me. I have a prurient nature. And a large brandy.

You mean you havn't got a fixed keel on that bird, Martini? You have a fine looking crew there. Lovely stuff! I'll excuse you for now. Not quite sailing weather here in the UK yet, and I've a feeling 'Little Jim' has lost another couple of planks over the winter...
More work for idle hands.
All the best.

My humble congratulations, EM. A masterpiece! That sailing holiday did you good!
I assume you'll be keeping us posted in a similar way as you work through the rest of MacP's catalogue?
