Class! Mate, Sheer, unadulterated CLASS!!!

Said in my best Frank Barrone voice {Everybody loves Raymond' Dad}.........

......."HOLY CRAP!!".......


Barv, just like our Ti, your scratching efforts are truly beauteous to behold!!

My only wish has always been to be literally 'A.B.C.'d' by you on your methodology. Meaning; really microfocus down to one little, wee portion of your hydraulic arm for example. Step-by-step, or as Murdo so accurately said, "cut by cut ". This would be most wonderful, and would most indobitably {sp?} motivate me to burn a candle at the alter of BARV ........ :-)

Superb work there mate.....really superb. I doff my hat..........

Tread.

Wonderful! Excellent scratchbuilt job!
An eye-catching masterpiece!

Congratulations, mate!
