Goo luck Robert.
Seems like since you have the chassis, engine and gearbox finished there is only a few bits and bobs to do! Seats and storebox!
I'd say he's done himself proud. But you know there is always a nit-picker somewhere, I hope Robert ignores them.
In my village every year we have the Woodcote steam and veteran transport rally, you don't have to go very far at that event to hear some old fart pulling someone else down, for example two miniature traction engines, both built and finished to exacting standards, but if one has pulled a load of two tons, the other will brag his can pull three because the other guy's cannot be built as well by some perceived divine decree, and so it goes.
The better man is the one who doesn't rise to it.
In fact, since seeing Robert's work I have more of an interest in Marlins and more of a knowledge of them. Now that is what you call an achievement and something any nit-picker should be envious of.....there's more to it than just the build.
