                  good morning .... along with everyone else I am just in awe at the patience and the attention to detail which to be honest is next level and beyond .. very enjoyable watching the build. Just a question .. when this project is fully completed what are your plans for it ... surely it has to go on public view at some point .... such an iconic part of history which would be of interest to so many folks. cheers .. Lindsey

                    Dear Lindsey.
                    Thank u for your comment...as l said before l'm really enjoying this build...and for the display l would love to show it in a museum...but l don't think that here in Belgium there is an interest for that...l can be wrong but for the time being it will remain in my house..
