very cool paul you want me to add that as complete or wait till you say it is complete ?

Kenny, it is complete now, so you can post it as such. Interestingly I watched Independance Day last night and what should show up but a Skycrane! It was the one with the flashing lights that was shot down just as the aliens started attacking.

Thanks for the comments on the Skycrane.

It's pretty cold here too, although warmer than it has been. It's hovering just below freezing right now, but the roads are covered in snow after a big dump today. Made driving today a bit 'interesting'Shock [:O]

36 Aircraft to go and you can put yourself on the front page. then you can finish your auto group build, then you can babysit, then you can open the box for the big guy, then you can go to your son's hihgschool graduation, then you can get halfway through this GB, then you can go to your son's college commencement, then you can prime it, then you can stand up at your son's wedding, then you can decal it and weather it and decree it almost complete when your three-year old grandbaby knocks it off the table and you start all over.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we just don't seem to have the time to give to ourselves. This is two job, 72+ hours per week territory for me until the end of tax season. My wife asked me what I wanted for this past christmas. I said....... Time.

Keep up the good work it is a bueatiful looking build, and I know you will have to FIND time to complete her.
