I love following your progress Allen. I was looking back though the earlier builds on this site and I was impressed by the fact that you had your own unique voice even from the start. You are really hitting your stride now, its inspiring to watch. A true artist.

Brilliant stuff Mr McFarlen.

But seriously, couldn't you post some picture of your stuff-ups occasionally so that the rest of us duffers feel a bit better?

Thanks everyone.

Stuff ups......well, working out some of the new details did result in some parts being tossed into the pizza oven. Out of sight and out of mind right.
