	That's brilliant. And well finished given the donor. Most people wouldn't cut all the right angles to stitch it back together in proportion. Superb.

	A true masterpiece! Without the progress pics the vast majority of people would never realise just how much work is involved in that. I love it. And I know my boy would too...

	Seen that floating around for a few months/years, but only as the pic you showed on google. How cool is that little thing, never saw how much work went into it. Brill!

	Very impressive. Always amazes me how some guys find the time to make stuff like this.
