Thank you Nils :)

Unfortunately the buyer pulled out at the eleventh hour,so we went back to square one.Fingers crossed ,we have another buyer and the sale will go through without any hitches.

So still in limbo :( at the minute my friend.

 

Kind Regards

Dear Nigel,

 

what a pitty, that the work on your amazing model has stopped.

 

As I am building the DeAgostini SotS as well (with influences of the Morgan drawing, as far as my skills allow) I have taken a lot of inspirations, suggestions and ideas from your build log.

 

Here are two pics of my current build. Unfortunately I don't have much time for model building and I have started approximately two years later.

Thank you Mr Pett :) The break is only a temporary one.Far too much going on in my personal life at the minute to devote the time to get back into the build.

When things settle down,I have every intention of putting all my other projects on hold to move this one forward.

I wish you well with your build,it certainly looks like you have done some great work so far.

 

Kind Regards
