Now all I have to do is make another one for the other side, that should take a few days, all that close up work gave me a headache.
I need a few emergency glasses of icy Fat Croc.
Yeah I know alot of you guys don't use ice in wine ...... thank God us colonists discovered ice though.

OH MY GOD Angela, I'm so sorry, I recieved your Xmas p.m. and totally forgot to respond, I'll blame it on age, I heard that after 50 your not as responsible for forgeting [ spelling either ] things as much as a young whippersnapper.
Merry Christmas darling and Happy New Year.
Thanks for the comments.

Cheyenne -

Everytime one of your post comes up, I wonder how you could possibly improve and amaze us any more then from the last phenomenal work shown. Then I look and am blown away again. What lucky museum is going to receive this work of ar? Just totally superb and keep it coming,

Whoa Nellie:

This is incredible. And I am so thrilled to know that
there "was", . . . ah . . . many years ago,
a black and white American TV show
named after YOU. Kool beans. . . Even though you
forgot to thank Angela for her season's greetings.

Jussssss kiddin' Cheyenne. . .Ah, . . . I can hear the
theme music, even now. And Maverick followed?
Remember?

Like the inside shots. Seeing the skylight function as it should is impressive!
Fat Croc. Isn't that an Aussie Chardy? The ice is to cover the relative flaws compared to reds, right???

Beer here
Cheers

Stunning piece of work Cheyenne. The skylight gives great light/shadow to the map room.

Have you designed the building your self, or do you have a specific building as reference?

Kevin, thanks man, as soon as I talk to that crazy Welshman [ Tango20 ] I'll know more about the skype thing.

Julien, Fat Croc is an Aussie Chardonnay [sp. ] and I usually drink it out of an old martini glass with ice.

Scott, tell me how to go about setting up an article and I'll give it a go.

Paul, thanks man and if I need any more prntbls you'll be the first I ask.

Blade48mrd, right now when its finished it will reside in my den and maybe one day I'll donate it or sell it, who knows , my son is 8 and he said when I die he wants it - thanks son I think ?

MiamiJHawk, Clint Walker played the lead role and when I was a kid I used to watch Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, Maverick, Wanted Dead Or Alive, they were great.

Murdo, Pnzrcmndr, thanks

Prato, thanks buddy.

Bradly, yup, thats an Aussie Chardy and its good white. The ice is not to cover anything, It's to make it cold.

Jesper, thanks man, and it's just something out of my melon, nothing specific, or actual existing building related type of thing. I figured it would go well with the other pieces in my dio.
