    G'Day Frank,
    When I read "Steam" I thought live steam; oh well I mucked up.
    BUT wow what a beautiful model you are making.
    You are a top craftsmen and present the models very well.
    Keep the photos coming, thank you.
    Cheers, crowie

    Another fine example of how scale modelling should really be done.
    Good stuff Frank.
    I'm looking forward to watching this one develop.
