It's an amazing piece of work, no wonder it took so long to finish.

That said, there's a fine line between genius and madness ... and that guy should look behind him :)

I'm building that in Naval Action at the moment - much easier doing it in a computer game than doing it in wood!

He carved ropes out of wood?  :o

That's very impressive, but I'm glad he doesn't work for Pendraken.

It had a "Mr Bean" (the movie) dimension to it. - I took it to be real BUT was hoping for a sneeze - this was even better!  ;D
