Hey Goerge 53 as you are right the craftsmanship on that model is very,very good as i too watch for his progress to come.I only wish i had the tools to make some of my parts, Oh if it were only possible but the funds are just not there.So not being out done i try as best i can to make it appear as real as i can with what i have............My hat goes off to this great builder as his work has definitely inspired me to try harder for the best results possible Edited June 12, 2009 by getrdun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
