That's looking lovely Albert - the sign of things to come, I think!

Albert,

I will be following your excellent build with great interest. I appreciate all the detailed pictures. They greatly help in understanding how scratch building can be accomplished.

Thanks for the effort you are making it presenting your work.

Good Day Albert. I have just come across this build log and I have to say that the quality of your work is amazing and I will follow the log with much interest. Can I also compliment you on the quality of your photography - what camera do you use?

 

Best wishes for the build

Lovely work Albert ....and the neatness of your workspace is almost surreal.  Please tell me you tidy it up for the pictures.  i would be intimidated by all the order.

 

I love the ribbands you are using to set the central frames.  I wish I had thought of this earlier.  It has been a great help in setting the frames on Young america.

 

Very impressive work.
