        Thanks Jim, very kind of you to say.

          Just taken some more photos, including some sepia for Colin.
          Specially for Tim, a proper name plate

                Tim was right about the name plate. A stunning dio deserves the best.

                    I'm in awe, not just for the skill needed to build and paint this, but the artistic flair to imagine it.

                          Thanks Andy , I agree, suppose it's what we're used to seeing in photos from that period.

                                Thanks for the extra pics john. It's too easy to focus on the armour, but I love to look around at the detail. Look at those dirty windows, the layer of grime is exactly as I have seen many times on old buildings. Brilliant stuff.
                                Then we move on to the vintage pics. A very nice 'old world' touch. It's almost like they were taken through the spy camera of a secret agent. Again, brilliant work.
