That'll be tough for me to ever match your level of ingenuity and workmanship. (Should I maybe go back painting my Scottish lead soldiers?...)  But as a carrier's commanding officer... mind the bodywork, mate or they'll take away your license! Brake, brake, watch out for that bath ahead, oops! ;D Can't wait to see her sailing into that pond. A heck of a job! Robert |

This being said, one word: fab! And you should consider, Markus, to have been lucky for not having sent in an icebraker first, weather-wise...  Robert |

Nice going (and the ducks were gone!).
It will travel fast enough, and has plenty of steering control.
Great stuff - but we expected no less from Marcus.
