It's hard for me to restart the build log of my Victory. So many discusstion and joy in the lost log which I can not find any more and only in my memory. 

I started my Victory at November, 2011. After waiting for a long time, I got the kit. But need two more weeks to receive the sketches which was missing by Jotika!

How surprised when I receive the kit!

...... Where is the sketches?! Oh my God!

During the time of waiting the sketches from Jotika, I just buit my 'workshop' -- it's the balcony of my room

Keel laying at 8th Dec 2011.

Gil,

Happy to see your log again. I feel hard to rebuild my log. But when I see you back, I think it's time now.
