Models are built for many reasons, but few are built for the express purpose of being on a book cover. Here's an exception.

Hi Michael
I love it! Great job on the camo - that's one heck of a masking job!

And thank you for the explanation of the electrics - I've never wired-up a kit for lighting. It's a really striking display.
All the best

Michael,
This is certainly a different feature article then what I was expecting. Your background story really read like a book. As for your build, it's exceptional. Your painting skills are way above average. What a great camo scheme. As for your electronics, I'm certainly in awe. Way above my skill level. And your base is one of the best I've ever seen.
Just an exceptional feature. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us.
Joel
