  6. When I read about this model in your yesterday's article, I thought "no way he could get it finished tomorrow". And yet here it is, and what a wonderful model! Great work, and the amount of detail in it is mind-boggling. Well done

  7. Great job. Especially the PE parts. It's no mean feat to get them so well aligned.
