Frank, the update is appreciated. I am far happier to wait for a kit that meets your standards of production quality than something that does n't. Saves us a world of pain later. I have been watching moffeatons Concept X build up and painting with a great deal of admiration and not a little envy.
However, I would note that it is CHRISTMAS soon, so don't kill yourself over getting this thing done quickly, I'm just glad its actually happening at all.
With all this bloody cold weather (for once I was actually pleased to get up and take a **** in the night, flushing the toilet has just stopped my pipes from freezing up !) the backlog for deliveries in the UK seems pretty bad at the moment so it seems sensible to wait into the New Year as you are doing.
So, don't feel beholden to us to get this done right now, though I am grateful for your effort to complete it ASAP. Take a break and enjoy yourself this Xmas. Thank you for your all your efforts so far to fullfill the outstanding orders, but have a good holiday !!! (unless casting is of course your idea of a great holiday anyway).
