Thank you once again for your kind words about the crane. It was the first brass model I did and it was much easier to do than I expected. Brass is a very forgiving material. If you fail to solder the parts together properly on your first attempt, no harm done, you can try as often as you like. Now I, too, am looking forward to seeing what the best (only) painter of the Narrow Packages Division can do. I am glad that I don’t have to do it, as painting is not exactly my favorite part of the hobby.
