This is getting really exciting now that I can envision the final product. Really nice!

Thank you, gentlemen!

I've just been assessing how much more needs to be done - you know, all the little bits one tends to forget about that make all the difference...

I admit, I'll be rather glad when this is over! After all, I've been looking forward to starting something big!

Wow – It's been ages since I was on here! Been kinda busy with other stuff….

Anyway, Gargantua is back on the table and looking pretty good, if I say so myself…

Now that is beyond modelling and approaching art!

Why thank you, Sir!

Still a lot to do but I'm pretty chuffed!

It's quite literally awe-inspiring! I'd missed the last update around September, for I hadn't seen it with a leg on - this really is marvellous.

Can we all come to New Zealand to gaze at your lovely toy please?

I also missed the mid-September update, to my shame.

You realize, though, this will do nothing to negate the general impression you are certifiable, right?

Quite a monster!

Very impressive!

I have been anxiously awaiting an update to this project. You certainly don't disappoint. Wonderful work as always. Your efforts are in the same league as the LAF greats.

Red Orc - Of course you're welcome over here any time! Don't forget the duty-free, old boy!

Beast -

? Me??? Certifiable?

They give certificates for this stuff now? Wonderful! Maybe I can pin it up with my 25 metres doggy-paddle silver medal!

Ray - Thanks! I try...

Doomsdave - Sorry to have kept you waiting so long... I'm flattered to receive such high praise.

More to come, chaps. I'm spending a night on the pistons tonight...
