A huge beauty and the the build log is a scratchbuilding manual in itself. Congratulations.

My apologies for not responding earlier but I have been away visiting a member of my family over the New Year.

Many thanks to all of you who have left such generous compliments: I greatly appreciate them all.

The next project will be to build a base on which I can display this model. I have bought a base and perspex cover: all I have to do now is build the scenery which will represent the turntable at Seemoos on Lake Constance in May 1917 - I will post a log in the diorama section of this site if anyone wants to follow. It will be my first serious attempt at a diorama type base so it will be a new challenge: wish me luck because I am going to need it!

Stephen.

What can I write that hasn't been already but my admiration for your modeling skills, patience and determination to build this incredible model of an obscure subject.  The workmanship is flawless and the finished product absolutley outstanding.  Outstanding all around.
