  Minimoa finished.

  Work proceeding on DH5 and Delanne.

  Trying not to get sidetracked on to other models until I've got these to just about finished.

   Cheers

I seem to be stalled.....the following are on the go....

B24 Liberator

DH Tiger Moth

Grumman Tracker

Vickers Vedette

I received word from the Canadian Warplane heritage museum.....they can only take one more box of carvings......now I'm looking for the biggest box I can find!

Still no interest from any U.S. museums, Perhaps when you offer something free, it's perceived to be of no value.....

The hands just aren't working as well as they should, fine work is out of the question, maybe I should carve large aircraft?

I wish I could send my extra wood to some of you, but the postage would prohibitive!

On the bright side, we're off to Cuba (again) 24 March....sun and sand!.....Pete

Take a few to Cuba and show off your talents. Or even if you just take some photo down to show around.
