Ah, I can explain - it's a long story, and the Kat and I have a minor rivalry.

It'll get back on track when he's done a bit more to the roof :nod::nod:
Fair enough!:)

Kat collects tickets and Rhino collects handbags!:rofl:
Been going on for years Paul.;)

The issue is that some of us have been here far too long.

Stockers means too long - just goes to show.
I remember when Mister Meerkat had a tasty Alpina, then a long respected mod named Woderwick dragged his soul into the 2-wheel dark side :eek: at least da Kat has relatively stuck to his guns.
And his scratchbuilding has developed in leaps and bounds. :wait:

Okay Paul, you have to go a long way back, right to the start. We were and still are nuts, there was an awful lot of rib-probbing and Steve gave and took his part.
The strange thing is that Steve was a little more vociferous back then, but I digress. Steve constantly raved about his cars, quad and bike - no problem there. What is odd is that Steve has gone quiet (I may know why, but that is private) but it has to be said that that Steve has an incredible knowledge of building. I can build models, Mike can scribe and paint foamboard, it all turns out fantastic. But Steve would make up shuttering and pour concrete to make somethting and then go to incredible levels to detail his buildings until they were perfect. Incredible. If if you are still in doubt then look up Steve's build threads, you will be impressed.

It actually seems a shame to have done all that woodwork on the roof then covered it, still looks very smart :clap:
