Now that's a different way to display. Nice one. Great work on the graffiti.

What a brilliant way to display an a/c.

Is it based on reality or is it your own idea?

Thanks a lot. It's a bit of both. There is a Venom in Britain on a pole like this

the rest was just because this Glencoe kit isn't the best and treated as forgotten and a bit missused as an art base makes it more interesting - well that was the idea behind

Well I never. You learn something everyday. Beautifully depicted Venom you have there. Some great art work as well :mrgreen:

That is excellent - the scene, workmanship, and the artistry.

I will lie awake tonight wondering how the taggers got to the wing tip ...

That's very clever, and your graffiti is much better than some of the unreadable mess seen on some walls I've seen.
