I wanted to first off thank everyone who took part in the build. A year is a very long time in some cases and not near long enough in others.

James great job on the Kidd, although you should have done the Scott. Keith your Illustrious looks great. Bruce, too bad you got injured and had to drop out.

Everyone did a great job!

BTW….the wrap up feature is being worked on as we speak.
