    Excellent build! Special too in the personal history and am sure your Grand-Uncle is smiling down on you.

    "Thanks Uncle John", I'm always trying to learn something new, the images on the build were 'Laser Printer Image Transfers', which I originally applied with the intention of burning with my newly acquired Pyrography Kit, but they turned so well I decided to leave them :-D

    "Thanks for the Kind Comments", the anonymous pick, Jeff Reilly , James O Lunsford & Dave Lynas, I have to admit though, I only come up with the idea of a tribute build to Grand Uncle "Federation" after I commenced work on it, BUT! I'm glad I did :-D, the original Pic taken in 1916 is on display in a cabinet along with my dad, a WW2 Returned Veteran.
