Astonishing detail, Dan!  I'm using your build as a reference for when I do mine in 1/48 scale.  This is like looking at the real thing.
Cheers,
Bud

  Dan,
On the scale 1 to 10 of Awesomeness this project is at the very least a 20! Now that's very very impressive my friend. Not the slightest doubt that she soon surpass even this rating with the next Outstanding update. If I sound in awe of your skill and craftsmanship it simply because I am.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

My sense of scale is totally cockeyed. I was thinking it would be good to have a scale comparison on the bracket you made. I had it in my head that you did that on a bench vise. Then I see you pose it with a penny! Incredible! Could you maybe pose what you've got against the internationally accepted scale foil of a beer bottle? I still just can't believe this thing is small.

Incredible.

you are a liar sir. this is 1/1 scale replica. i am making a joke of course. this is fantastic work. you have a great kit to start but you are taking it beyond the imagination of the designers. this will be a true museum quality model. congratulations on a job well done.

Hello Dan:

Truly amazing craftsmanship and detail.  I am amazed at all the fabricating that you, the modeler, is required to do for such simple things as the cross members etc.  I am watching this with interest.  Do you plan on skinning any of it?

Best

Wow, this is incredible work here. It seems like something that will take years to build if you continue with the same level of excellance.
