    Hi Rob

    This is so imppressive, certainly not an overload, bombarded with adverts on YouTube is a particularly annoying overload, this is pure pleasure to view.

    It's been quite a labour of love for you Rob so I do hope the guy who has paid for her looks after her well.

    Are you delivering her in person or is she being collected?

    Jim :)

    Absolutely fantastic. As Jim says definitely not an overload. Don’t you find it difficult parting with such a work of art?

    Thanks Gents,
    She's being collected. By coincidence the guy that I built her for lives in the Dales too, albeit 40 miles or so away.

    Re letting models go, that's a question I get asked a lot. It's different when you know from the outset that you are building it for someone else. To be honest it will be a relief rather than a hardship.

    Now you baffle me Rob, 'a relief'.

    I'm not so sure I could put that much time and effort into a model even though I knew I was making it for someone else who was prepared to pay the going rate for such craftsmanship.

    Is your next build going to be a commission or just for personal pleasure?

    Jim :)

    Much like any craftsman making and selling items.

    Sadly not Ken,

    Not only is it too far to travel for a one day show, but more importantly to me. I lost my younger brother recently and I really don't feel up to it.
