Hi John, thanks for the fast reply. I went to your other pictures & I have to say the models are as good as or better than any on the forum. As you probably know I live in Calgary but not much in the way of model boats happens around here. I saw your build of the Neddy & read the whole tread, & very nice too. I am building the Neddy too, but without much mods just lots of electronics. It is my first build & is a bit of a struggle. I also followed the build of your friends TID tug in the picture, a very skilled builder if I may say so,pass it on. It was nice to hear from you keep in touch, if you are ever out this way be sure to drop by for a chat, lunch is on me. Mick B.
