Colonel,

thank you (and may Her Majesty guide your hand)

Colonel O Truth23 Mar 2015 2:16 a.m. PST

Thank you so much! It would be impossible at times to continue with such a huge endeavour if it wasn't for the kind words of support you all have given!

Sincerely.

Just came across this – absolutely amazing the amount of work that has gone into it. Well done.

TheBeast Supporting Member of TMP29 Aug 2016 6:50 p.m. PST

Sad when real life and a day job get in the way. ;->=

Still, we loved his striving.

Bonne chance, Colonel!

Hi Doug (et al)

Still here. Just dusted off the walker with a soft paintbrush, ready to get back into it! Sorry for the long absence.

Just discovered this…

Sweet Jesus 😱 you're utterly insane, but what absolute magnificence has resulted! I believe I've done my back in reaching down to retrieve my jaw. Just incredible. Bravo Colonel, bravo 👏👏👏👏

cybrt5405 Sep 2018 10:33 a.m. PST

I am very much looking forward to updates on this wonderful machine!

Anton Ryzbak05 Sep 2018 2:32 p.m. PST

My Good Colonel,

It is good to see that you returned to your Herculean task. I hope the time away was spent on something pleasant, I had grown fearful that something untoward had befallen you or yours. Your limitless imagination and precise attention to detail were the inspiration to my feeble efforts.

I look forward to your further posts with the utmost anticipation!

Colonel O Truth01 Mar 2019 5:59 p.m. PST

I must be insane, but I've re-commenced work on this beastie!

Insane, maybe but please continue on this wonderful machine.

Sanity is overrated, Colonel.

Glad to see you're back at the monster!
