That 'zona yours, wasn't it? I remember your build up on the boards a while back. Very, very nice build. I heard it took about a year or more to assemble. I'm still really leery of moving up-scale, having been a modeler for about a year now. 1/350 and larger require a LOT more skill than I have.

I missed some ugly smudges AND lost two barrels in transit with my @*%) King George. I was stunned it didn't even placed, beaten out by two older builds of mine. She's going back to the bench for more work. :pout:

Hey Peter, yep that was mine. Thanks for the compliments. I worked on it for roughly 10 months off and on. I took my time not wanting to rush it and it paid off. It actually sat in my stash for a long time because of how big it was and wanted to get it as close to perfect as I could.

That is always a fear of mine, having something break on the ride to the show (2 hours for me) but I made it ok. Sorry to hear about your King George.

It was a great show, a lot of great builds again this year. I was honored with the awards being among such fantastic builds.

Cheers,
Neil
