None of you building a 1:1 scale model? That would not be easy for us model boat builders!

I am always in awe of anyone who has such a level of dedication to something.

If this lady did not have such a level the Spit would never be completed and this is obviouysly going to become something of great benefit to a great number of people.

Quite a lady.
