That is fantastic work.

Can't wait to see his next completed project.

That's gorgeous!
I used to love model building as a kid, but never anything that complex.

That is awesome! How did it come about that he picked the Endeavor? I am a fan of Captain Cooks explorations. Such an interesting time in history and discovery. I read "The Trial of the cannibal dog" last year. It is about Captain Cooks travels in the Pacific but has the natives views on the interactions with Europeans. Not just the Europeans views. Very interesting book on the times, politics and all.
Happy birth day to ya!
