there is an Italian who made a Moto Guzzi motorcycle (civilian, not
military) of wood. I have seen it in an Italian do-it-yourself hobby
magazine. It seems that there are more strange-hobby-wood-workers around!
What puzzles me is the availability of storing space for "models" so huge!
A Dora railgun in 1/16!! WOW!!
At the moment, I am looking for a Jeep because only now I have a small
garage to put it in and it took years to find it! (I mean the garage!).

Regards and
Panzergrau rules!
