Hi John, VERY nice! Great job & great how too. Who ever buys it is getting a superb model. Cheers Kerrin Thanks Kerrin. I'd rather keep it as I don't really need the money, but there's nowhere to put it and someone else might as well ge the benefit of it! Booked the ferry to Spain yesterday for 10th April: three months out of the workshop and in the sun. Bliss!

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it in a Science and Technology Museum given the superb standard you have built it to John.
Enjoy the sun in Spain it ain't arf hot here I can tell you.
Cheers
Jim.

I was tempted to buy your stirrup, but I suspect yours is not stainless steel? I made all my bits of freecutting stainless as it is so nice to work and finish.

I put the beast on ebay tonight at 2100 as I got a special deal and we both need a decent holiday. I started the bidding at £50 with a high reserve and the bidding almost immediately went to £1750! It's a ten day auction so who knows where it will go... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195218886998?_trksid=p2471758.m4703

Good luck with the sale, John. It's a lovely model so should make a good price for you.
Bob.
