This build thread was like watching a good thriller movie; it had blood, sweat and tears, frustration, drama and triumph, and at times we weren't sure if the battle would be won...it kept us on the edge of our seats hoping for a victory...and in the end the courageous cavalry brought it home and foiled the enemy into defeat. Magnificent in the victory, she shines in the setting sun...well, she will when you take her outside tomorrow evening, so for now it was the 100watt bulb above the dining table! :tongue:

Fabulous thread Nige and magnificent build! :thumb1: :thumb1: :clap: :clap: :bow::

Cheers :cheers2:

Once again I find all the superlatives have been used up by everyone else.

Love it! Not sure if I'm patient enough to try it myself but, once again- Love it!

Nige, apologies for the late post - life in general getting in the way and all that.

I couldn't not leave a comment on this beauty, she is absolutely stunning. I followed your build thread real close and every time you posted new pics, my jaw just hit the floor every time. I'd stumble into the living-room, gibbering like a buffoon, "Nige....Mustang....foil.....brilliant!", much to the wifes amusement.

Mate, that is one of the most bonkers-ly brilliant things I've seen in a long-time. Now it's finished, she looks amazing and you Sir pulled it of with heaps of style!! :th: :th: :th: :clap: :clap: :clap: :bow:: :bow:: :bow::

Alex thanks for stopping by. Every time I sat down to do this I enjoyed it immensely and my wife thought I was mad lol but if like me your not to good with an airbrush or don't want to try Alclad I would defo give it ago if it goes wrong you can remove it and start again.
