Rustyj Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share #636 Posted May 23, 2023 Thank you Greg. Your kind words are very appreciated. Also thank you so much Dave, Steve20, Steve, John and Jim. Chris your work with pear was an inspiration to me. Thank you all for stopping by and the likes. On a side note I spent the last couple of days doing a deep cleaning of all the cabinets, drawers and counters here in the shop. Rediscovering items I forgot I had and items I wondered why I still had. I also will be out of touch for a couple of weeks. Going on a two week journey across the pond to England, Scotland and Wales with the Admiral. For all of my friends in the UK, watch out for the crazy American trying to drive on the wrong side of the road! 🤣 🚑 See you later!

westwood Posted May 24, 2023 Share #639 Posted May 24, 2023 I've really enjoyed following your work Rusty. And indeed I will be looking for inspiration in your log for a long time to come because my Winie is far from finished. So, congratulations on the completion of a beautiful model. Now I wish you a nice vacation and I look forward to your new building diary.

Rustyj Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share #641 Posted June 10, 2023 I all. Well, we made it back without any serious issues driving though the Admiral nearly ripped the door handle off a time or two! We had a wonderful time and as astonishing as it might seem two weeks in England, Scotland and Wales and NO RAIN! Umbrellas and raincoats stayed tucked away. I must say that though she's undergoing an overhaul, touring the Victory was simply fabulous! Thank you Frank for your kind words.

Yep sound advice but that look right first thing either pulling out or crossing the road almost got me a couple of times.😲 Thank you Dusan, I look forward to continuing to following your build. Thank you JJ. Again I'll continue to enjoy your build and also your new project! Again thank you to all of you who have followed along, supported and liked throughout this thoroughly enjoyable project.
