Thanks for the kind words........I have developed some skills over the years, but mostly what I build is the result of having darn near every hobby tool in the world, being able to buy the raw materials and parts from various sources, and being able to surf the internet for reference material. Since I am retired and live alone, I can do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and for as long as I want to do it. If it wasn't for this hobby, I have no idea what I would do to keep busy (and have fun). I just wish I was 32 instead of 72. What future technology will do for this hobby is going to be amazing. I just hope that somebody produces WWII BRITISH TANKS someday!

Speaking of skills, is there anything in the works when it comes to your "History As It Could Have Happened" writing skills? I really enjoyed reading your "documentaries".
