Tiger I Initial Production DML

you could call me a master tiler after 20 years of it, but over in ireland tiling isnt a recognized trade, its part of a plasters trade. stupid.

and yep all sorts expect roof tiling cos thats part of a plateres trade too....... i shoulda been a plasterer. oh and pushing 2 years here savings getting low now....

well postie was good to me today

Slimey green......your not doing a Ghostbusters kit as well are you? ;D

I'm in electronics and was out of work for nearly 3 years a few years back so i know how you guys feel....fingers crossed you both find work soon.

Now i got the urge to try link tracks.....is this whats used when you see realistic sagging tracks on models?
