As I said last year, truly inspiring work and congratulations to the newest Champion, Joe. I'd really like to see some close ups/ detail shots of the collection.
On a lighter note, I almost didn't recognise Tom Morgan without his trademark lozenge shirt............. is it really him or his evil twin!??
Cheers,
Lance

No, its really him, the lozenge shirt was on during the day, he "dressed up" for dinner and the awards ceremony in the evening.

The Rumpler is stunning. Given me a few ideas for a hangar diorama too.

Hi Stephen

Very nice indeed! I think I might have made the hanger a bit dirtier and more used-looking (the floor in particular) - but, then, I'm prone to over-weathering on occasion...

All the best
