geedubelyer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Bonsoir rom, enjoy school tomorrow. :) I am looking forward to seeing how the gear legs go together. They look quite complicated so I'll follow your progress carefully to see how it all goes together. The ablative coating on your bombs looks very good. Really fast work, keep it up.

Gambler Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The ablative coating on your bombs looks very good. Yes Romain, I second what Guy said, that is probably the best representation of that coating I have seen.I'm looking forward to seeing them painted up! Nice work. Cheers, Jeff.
