Thanks for your kind words, Dean. I have found the same to be true, although there seems to be a challenge for me mentally to see if I can duplicate 1:1 things in a smaller scale. Don't know why and I'm sure most people find it strange that I still "build models", but most don't have a clue the amount of time that goes into one. Maybe if they did, they might think I'm even more strange to spend that kind of time and energy on a model... Oh well, I enjoy it, my wife doesn't hate it and most of my friends just accept it... and if you guys like watching the build progress, then I'm happy to share that with you...
