Hey Ron,

Sorry I've been absent. It looks like I have a whole bunch to catch up on now.

Get better. What kind of whisky are you drinking these days?

I have just realised...

you are checking to see if we are all awake...!!

So.. the pedestal uses REAL money...-- actual currency-what look like a British 5 pence coin.. see pic below

-I reckon that is ONE way in making a model have REAL monetary value.... heheheh :big_grin: :big_grin: :big_grin:

Has the weather ( warm enough-no snow?)been kind enough to allow more progress in the shed...?

Tara

JIM B-- basking in 13 deg C --all wrong for this time of the year!! :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:
Real money abroad USCG Duane...!!
