Wayne, that's terrific! I love your models and commend your patience, which is not crazy at all. As a fellow maritime buff that builds models, I can also note that I love history, collecting autographs, antiques and memorabilia, love international travel, am a US ex-pat in Britain, read lots, have an active outdoor lifestyle, a career, pets, and family. Life's about living, not existing, and we truly can do it all. Keep it up, don't let anything stop you and keep sharing!

Wow, thtat is really cool, being an ex-pat in Britain. Is it hard to do? I have been to Britain about 6 times and Europe about 10. Love the beer! Love the women, especially on them beaches. Great place for history. My band toured Kent twice down the medway, near the SS.Richard Montgommery. Keep them Spitfires and Bishop's Fingers brewing!!!

Cheers - Wayne
