Awesome!! Had many many questions and even more compliments. Without your confidence building, I would have had the nerve to display my collection. I passed out about 20 email address slips so I hope some come to visit or even better participate in our group.

Lou, any photos of the event?

lastvautour · May 26, 2009, 02:32:16 PM

Yes, I was set up in an army tent.

You've got to be proud of that collection Lou.

Now I need to see a close-up of the Hudson. Is it finished finally?

Wow, Lou, that's quite a collection on the tables! Great work.

Amazing collection and a fine presentation, Lou. Congratulations again. But, please don't ask us to identify them all again!

Great show, Lou. You put on a fine display and you build monsters!

I finally finished (almost) my church building that I have been concentrating on. I presented it to my pastor today and not only found a couple of errors I need to fix but he had some suggestions that were not on the drawings he would like added. It gets presented at a ground breaking ceremony this Sunday then I have to fix a couple of things next week. Overall, I have 150 hours in that thing. I will post pics in my gallery and on my project board.

Next up, some me modeling, then to finish the monster Hellcat (for the same pastor). I want to get back into the F-102 but I have two summer projects on another forum that I would like to build, a 17th century naval battlestation and a New Bedford whaling boat, complete with all the goodies in the boat to hunt down Moby Dick himself.

Lou, is that not your Hudson bomber behind the DH Comet Racer in photo one? If not yet finished it looks pretty good to me. What remains to be done?

Cliff.

Greetings All,

Congratulations Lou on your exhibition.Excellent work.

Not quite the end of May yet.

Still working on Gloster VI. Minor surface clean up and finishing. Still to mount on floats.
Making a kit of parts for Cierva C25.
Will post pics when I get some done.
Have started making kits of what I want to build. Work and travel committments don't allow much time.

Cheers

Gordon
