it's about 8ft long i think!

trumpeter, leaps and bounds better than the dragon offering judging from the reviews.

so it's a trumpeter gun and train, with a dragon wagon (no pun intended).

currently trying to use some kits up so the gf stops hassling me for stockpiling them, so i expect i'll put a road running parallel to the track, get some tanks and armoured cars in there too.

i still haven't finished my 1st ever dio, i don't know why i decided to build something so big for dio #2!

whats the deal with posting pics here in the UK forum? i wouldn't mind showing some of my below average work, and hints and tips would be welcome, but i might cry if it gets slated after weeks and weeks of work!

i also have the Revell 1/72nd U-Boat,H.M.S Snowberry in 1/72nd,the U.S.Enterprise in 1/350th and i think some other stuff sitting on the kit mountain.
if theres a fire i'm going to poison half of London with the fumes.
