Feanor, as a person that has ruined highschool shop projects I gotta tell ya I respect what yer doin'...further you're bringing me back to remembrances of my Grandfather who, in later life, took up model ship-building as hobby. The intricate workings and the detail are all very impressive.

I hope that the project not only proves itself a worthy investment of time in compare and contrast but gives you a seperate and equal level of joy as those magniificent Monarchys that you have...

Peace, Cheers, and thanks for sharing...
