    Hi All,
    Watched the ‘Howard Hawkes’ production of ‘The Big Sky’ last night off BBCi, watched it before still a good watch IMO but not to everybody’s taste admittedly. A rather romanticised outdated nowadays view of the pioneering days of the 1800’s along the Missouri River from the settlers point of view to trade with Indians. Starring Kirk Douglas,Dewey Martin,Elizabeth Threatt,Arthur Hunnicutt,Buddy Baer,Steven Geray,Henri Letondal,Hank Worden and Jim Davis.

    In 1830, two tough Kentucky mountaineers join a trading expedition from St. Louis up the Missouri River to trade whisky for furs with the Blackfoot Indians. They soon discover that there is much more than the elements to contend with. Based on the novel by AB Guthrie, Jr.

    HI All,
    Paul C,
    I wish you well matey it must be increasingly difficult for all you aviation artists to produce an image that is strikingly different from any that has been produced before, I do not envy any of you as it must test the patience of a saint at times. A lovely image none the less good luck you’ll need it with stiff competition from Matt Holness this year no doubt, in fact good luck to all you aviation artists who are entering the Guild Exhibition you all deserve an award in my book……..:eagerness:

    Hi All,
    I realise that the skill required by pilots is beyond mention in real aircraft but a round of applause must surely go out to all the RC flyers I found this enjoy……:eagerness:

    Hi All,
    Sabrejet,
    Like I wrote it is nice but and if as you say it does not affect the original survivor cars value then keep at it, one problem with that I just wondered would there then be a glut of them if customers asked for more or would they be regarded as the next generation and accepted for that ?

    What about a nice modern 24v Dolomite Sprint always the Dolomites the smell in my 1850 was lovely it was like wearing a sofa every time I drove it…..:D

    Hi All,
    Andrew,

    Hi All,
    While I love the idea of these continuation builds at the same time I can’t help thinking they are just cash cows and making money on the rarity of whatever vehicle they will produce, even possibly reducing the whatever original rare vehicles value or am I being to cynical ?
