Definitely - especially if you can do mini-things that make it appear my modelling skills have improved! (And pretend that I actually made it ... !)

Well I guess pain just disappears when the brain receives messages of enjoyment. Incredible...not India but Build! Greg.
I thought building my catapult was crazy but this is another level of mind over matter kind of build. To think that this is all underneath the elevator...amazing.

Cheers,
Richard

Dear All
Thank you for your kind comments and support...
Chris The structure l'm building is at the bow of the ship just under the main flight deck... not an elevator

Not into 'floaty things' much - this is incredible detailing.
