I usually don't resort to acronyms but in the case of your work on the walkways, OMG!!
That slack adjuster is SWEET!! (BTW, where did you find that wheat penny you used to show it off??)

Thank you Robert. When I was a young lad, I was a coin collector and had a complete set of Lincolns.Unfortunately I fell in love with a 39 Ford coupé. It turned out to be a vacuum cleaner. Bye bye coin collection. I still have a few that aren't worth much.
Regards, Bobby

I can barely describe in mortal words the skill levels you posses Bobby! You are in a league of your own! I view your models and I just fall dead silent with astonishment! That is no joke! Your work amazes me and I find it extremely inspirational and something of which we all should strive for as a level to TRY and reach. This hopper just floors me with detail work. Will the word, "Excellent" suffice?

Like the new title says, I'm done with the construction. Now for the part I hate, PAINT! I put in a lot of hours, but I really enjoyed this build.
Thanks for looking, Bobby
